Well, finally, Southern California has Lord Stanley's Cup as the Anaheim Ducks beat the Ottawa Senators at the Honda Center in Anaheim tonight in the National Hockey League finals. The score was 6-2.
I am a Los Angeles Kings fan and in some way this is bittersweet, but I am just glad that it will be here, in So Cal for at least one year.
When the Disney Company owned the Ducks, they made hockey a joke by naming the team the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, after the hockey movie of the same name, the Mighty Ducks. Well, Disney got out of the sports business, something they had no knowledge of, with the sale last season to Orange County businessman Henry Samuelli. Thankfully he dropped the moronic "Mighty" and they became the Anaheim Ducks. Changed the uniform and it must have had some effect on the team.
All that I know is that something that not even the mighty Wayne Gretzky could do when he was on the Los Angeles Kings has been done. The Stanley Cup is in So Cal, and I for one, can not be happier.
Now, if only my World Series prediction holds up. . .
