I stayed up and watched the 2 OT, but fel asleep after that, lol. Suprised the pens won, the Wings just seem to have more bounce. One would think the Pens would have the increased energy/stamina as they are the younger team,but thats not the case! Sure making things interesting.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

What a game! I fell asleep after the first OT. I still don't know who I want to win. The Pens have such young, GREAT talent (if Malkin ever decides to show up) but the Wings have such great maturity and experience (plus, I want to see Osgood win a cup where he actually plays)

Looking forward to game 6.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

man, you missed a great game. i threw up a litte in my mouth that last second when osgood bobbled the puck and it almost went in!

couldn't be happier for the boys - i about lost it when McCarty lifted the Stanley. He's had a rough couple of years and it's great to see him back in form.

now i've not got anything on the telly to watch until the olympics start.

The beginning the season isn't the Leafs problem usually. I didn't see it either, but was hoping it would force a game 7 as well.

Glad Osgood won it. Part of me didn't want detriot to win because they are always so successful. When tampa bay won the cup, THAT was exciting for me. When the Canes won the cup, that was exciting. The Wings have won the cup like 4 times in the past what...10 , 11 years? haha

If this doesn't make DC a hockey town, nothing will!

Washington's Ovechkin, Boudreau give Capitals big night of NHL honors

The Associated PressPublished: June 13, 2008

TORONTO: Russian forward Alex Ovechkin won the Hart Trophy and The Lester B. Pearson Award on Thursday night as the National Hockey League's player of the year, honoring him for a season in which he scored 65 goals and 112 points.

Ovechkin edged finalists Jarome Iginla of the Calgary Flames and Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins for both honors. The Hart is voted on by members of the North American Professional Hockey Writers' Association, while the Pearson is given out by the NHL Players' Association.

"I think I'm the happiest 22-year-old guy on the planet," Ovechkin said. "Everything I've got I make myself. I'm working hard and I know it's improving."

Ovechkin was the first player to score 60 goals in an NHL season since Mario Lemieux in 1996. He joined Sergei Fedorov (1994) as the only Russian-born players to win the Hart and the Pearson.

The Capitals' Bruce Boudreau, hired during the season after Washington's woeful start, earned the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's top coach. The only damper on the evening in the nation's capital came when Nicklas Backstrom was edged by Chicago's Patrick Kane for rookie of the year.

Boudreau, who led the Capitals to the Southeast Division title, beat out Mike Babcock of the Detroit Red Wings and Guy Carbonneau of the Montreal Canadiens.

Washington's run of awards was stopped when the 18-year-old Kane won the Calder Trophy over Backstrom.

Kane led rookies with 72 points, including 21 goals. He is the first Blackhawks player to win the trophy since goalie Ed Belfour in the 1990-91 season. Kane, who had the best first month by a rookie since 1992 when he posted 16 points in October, topped Chicago linemate Jonthan Toews and Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom for the award.

Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom completed his second hat trick in Norris Trophy competition when he was named as the league's top defenseman for the third straight season and sixth overall. That moved him into third place behind Bobby Orr (8) and Doug Harvey (7) and snapped a tie with another Hall of Famer Ray Bourque.

"He's the best player on our team," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said.

Another familiar winner was New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, chosen as the NHL's top goalie for the fourth time in five seasons. Despite not capturing the award for the first time until 2003, his 10th full season, his four Vezina Trophies are second only to the six won by recently retired Dominik Hasek since general managers started voting in 1982.

In other awards, Jason Blake of the Toronto Maple Leafs, diagnosed with leukemia just before the start of the regular season, received the Bill Masterton Trophy as the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to ice hockey.

He lost 4 1/2 kilos (10 pounds) after starting to receive treatment, but didn't miss a game.

Pavel Datsyuk of the Red Wings took the Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward. Along with teammate Henrik Zetterberg, also a finalist, Datsyuk helped shut down Crosby and the top line of the Penguins during the finals.

The Verizon Center is actually a pretty good facility and at least the nosebleed seats have historically been cheap ($15 or so). I have a feeling that next season might be a different story but as you say, we shall see. But at least for the last few years, the Canadian Embassy has gotten inexpensive tickets for any game the Caps play against Canadian teams so if you want to see the Leafs, sign up to get notified: http://www.connect2canada.com/
