For the first time in Stanley Cup history the champions are from California. In the end the Anaheim Ducks were better than the Ottawa Senators at pretty much everything. I also agree with the comment that Anaheim seemed to want it more. While the Sens couldn't seem to find the dominating game that brought them to the final, the Ducks just rolled over them, never stopping to reflect. Now they can take a breather and reflect over a great season. Exept for a few players this team is very young and I think we can expect more from them in the years to come. The same goes for Ottawa, who has many youngsters who will benefit from this experience.
I have to admit I feel a little sorry for Daniel Alfredsson. He really stepped up in these play-offs and led his team. In the final game he was everywhere while also scoring both goals for Ottawa (not counting Chris Philips' own goal). Alfredsson deserves a lot of credit, unfortunatly for him he was too alone in his effort.
It was a good play-off and the Ducks are worthy champions as is Scott Niedermayer of the Conn Smythe.
