It's certainly no consolation to Ottawa fans tonight, but the sad reality is that 16 teams enter the playoffs every year, and 15 of them end their run with a loss. This year, Ottawa came within three wins of not finishing on a loss, but that's as close as they could get. On the other hand, the Sens took their postseason to a new level this year, after what seemed like an endless run of disappointing finishes. They made the Finals for the first time ever... maybe next year they'll make that last step?
Congrats to the Ducks. I have no great love for that team, but at least they turfed the "Mighty" offensive part of their name before ever winning the Cup. And they beat four very good teams in winning this year, which isn't always the case for Cup winners *cough* 1993 Habs *cough*.
So this'll be remembered as the year of the Ducks... and the year the Rangers got their playoff form back, after a decade without a win! Hard to believe there'll be no more hockey to watch for months now... but there's always next year!

It was however great to see Corey Perry from the London Knights win the Cup.
Way to go Corey ...
