So, the season is officially over. The Canes won the cup. Now, since it is the first day of summer, I guess it is on to other activities, at least for a few months. Then, back to hockey.

I do have my Edmonton Oilers Western Conference Champs hat to wear to Ducks games to piss off the fans. I wonder if they will get it?

Oilers lost last night. So, it appears that the hockey season is over. Dang. I still watch the rest of the series but it appears as if the ‘Canes will be winning. Blech!

The Oilers won at home and are down 2-1. A win tonight makes this an interesting series. A loss tonight and I’m looking forward to September 23rd in Las Vegas.

The Oilers may have lost game, set, and match last night. Roloson was hurt and left the game. The replacement goalie played a puck badly behind the net with less than a minute to go in a tie game. This is going to be interesting. Conklin has play 18 games this year and has played no time during the playoffs. Oh, well, I still want the Oilers to win and this is only the first game.

Dang. I was hoping the Sabres would get into the finals. Instead, Carolina got in. I think I don’t like this because I have a real problem with the newbie teams winning before the Kings. I think that fans should suffer before winning. In some ways, I think the Kings might be the Cubs of hockey.

Thanks to the hockey Gods for allowing the Oiler to beat the Ducks. I don’t know if I could’ve stood for the Ducks going to another Cup final before the Kings. Now, I just want the Oilers to win it all.

Besides having the best period of hockey when the beat the Red Wings in games 6 of the opening round of the playoffs, the Oilers are now beating the Ducks. Yeah! Go Oilers Go.

Ok, so who do I root to play the Ducks? The team I think has the best chance of winning (Sharks) or the team I like (Oilers)? Tough, tough decision. I think I’m going with the Oilers.

I’ve been watching the playoffs and I’m so far entertained. The best period of playoff hockey was game 6, period 3 detroit versus Edmonton. Awesome job by the Edmonton fans of rattling the Detroit goalie and lots of goals. Too bad my Kings aren’t in the playoffs.

So, the King’s season is completely over. The last game was played with the Kings beating San Jose. Luc is retired.

Luc’s last home game was fun. The Kings won 2-1, Luc had a chance in the shootout to win it, and the fans stayed late to honor Luc.

I listened to the final game on the radio while watching the Ducks game. The most interesting thing about the Ducks game was the addition of Marty McSorley to the Ducks announcing team. Are the Ducks thinking of getting rid of Hayward? I’d be happy if they did that because maybe I could watch the Ducks games. Right now, Hayward’s homerism makes me want to wretch and keeps me from watching the Ducks games.
