Ducks Edge Wings in OT, Go Up 3-2 in Series

The Anaheim Ducks are now one game away to face the Ottawa Senators for the Stanley Cup! The Ducks battled back against the Red Wings, down 1-0 for 59 full minutes. Detroit simply couldn't get the job done.

The Ducks scored with under a minute and Selanne scored the OT winner on a dead giveaway by Detroit Defenseman Andreas Lilja. Lilja snapped his stick completely in two after Selanne scored, which I am sure resembled the frustration the Red Wings shared.

Detroit dominated this game, outshooting the Ducks 34-18. Gigere was his brilliant self, and Anaheim seems destined to go all the way. Detroit really has dominated the past 3 games, but not much to show for it. Now they have to head back to California to play the Ducks at home.

Statistically speaking, when a series is tied 2-2, the winner of game 5 goes on to win the series 80% of the time.

I think a Ducks/Senators matchup for the finals would be a great one! Neither team has ever won a cup, so this would be pretty fitting. I personally cannot wait to see how this turns out.

Until next time,
