Ducks vs. Red Wings Game 2 Western Conference Finals
With faces only a mother could love, the Anaheim Ducks will face off with the hated Red Wings today at 4:30 PM today. The Ducks have an uphill battle down 0-1 in the series. Only one team has won a series in this year’s playoffs after losing the opening tilt and that was the Detroit Red Wings in the last series versus the Sharks of San Jose.
No doubt about it, it’s going to be tough. Ducks need a win today to come back home with home ice advantage. Keys to todays win: hitting hard, throwing the people’s elbow every now and then, (thank you Bret Severyn), put pucks toward the net, and taking advantage of rebounds, (few as they might be).
With the Ottawa Senators up over the Buffalo Sabres 2-0 and now heading back to Canada, it seems as though the Sens are in full control of the series. Unless the Ducks kick it in another gear get a couple quick wins, we could be looking at a late May Stanley Cup Final match up.

Niedermania lived up to its billing last night. The last goal of the game was produced by Scott Niedermayer who put in a nice wrister to pop the bottle on a pass from his brother Rob. Way to be the puck. Ducks win 4-3 in the first overtime.
