Ducks And Senators Continue Close Trend To Start Finals

Yet another 1-goal win in the 2007 NHL Playoffs, this time by Anaheim over the Senators, to go up 1-0 in the Finals. People have complained about the lack of goals in this year's postseason, but I think it's actually been a good year, if you like to watch the games right to the end. We've had a lot of tight scores, where the play in the final minute was frantic (if one team was up by a goal) or lead to overtime. The Rangers alone played in 7 1-goal games (1 & 2 against Atlanta, 2 thru 6 against Buffalo), along with an empty net result (4-2), out of just 10 games! Only the 7-0 laugher against the Thrashers and the 5-2 opening loss to the Sabres didn't feature a fantastic finish in games involving the Boys from Broadway.

Tonight's game was thoroughly entertaining from start to finish, although I'm sure the Ottawa fans aren't happy with having blown two 1-goal leads. I don't have a favourite in this series, so I'm hoping for a long one, and lots of close games!
