Video of the Week: Ducks Win, Teemu Great!

I apologize for this being late, but it was either a Starcraft 2 video, or this great game that NHL Videos has to put up on YouTube half a day after it happens. At any rate, this game was great, I listened to the radiocast on the Ducks end and the commentator said twice that the two Ducks goals might be the biggest in franchise history. I'm almost inclined to agree (if they win game 6 or 7). Great game, the tension was absurd, and the goaltending was amazing. Hasek may be the best goalie to ever play the game (yeah, even better than Roy), but Giguere has been ridiculous for the Ducks.

I have to admit though, I'd probably be excited for either team to win, but I'm making my claim for the Ducks right now since I like Teemu just a little bit more than Lidstrom.

As for the video, if you're not into hockey, try to watch Lilja's drive to put the wings up by 1. It's a beautiful shot. And try to fastforward to the last minute or so for Neidermeyer's mad flip into the net (which was rather ugly) and Selanne's ridiculous steal and backhand (which was another absolute beauty). I promise, hockey is the best playoff sport in the world. I love it.
