Steve Palumbo: Six Years Ago Today the Anheim Ducks Became California's First Cup Winner

hopefully, in a few weeks, the kings will be the first to repeat as cup champs in cali!!!

As a Kings fan I was rooting for the Senators.... all the way up until that coward Alfredson tee'd off a shot after the buzzer at Neidermayer. That classless, unsportsmanlike move forced me to root for the Ducks.

puckindnet good call. My 6-year-old son and I were sitting by the visitor penalty box for the game 5 warmup, right at the glass. Two lady Duck fans were holding a sign next to us decrying his classless act toward Scottie in Ottawa. Then Alfie angrily shot a puck hard in our direction. It hit right in front of my kid's face and cracked the glass.

Daniel Alfredsson is a freakin' douchebag, no matter what anyone says.

We really weren't a bad team this season. Just no one stepped up after Beauch's torn acl. I honestly think we're one trade away (anything but a lombardi sort of deal) away from a playoff run. Will that trade involve hiller or bobby?... We'll just have to wait and see

Daniel Alfredsson: Most classless player ever? My money says yes, lol.

No, he's just a douche. But you guys also had the man who became the killer shark on that team too, right? (Dany Heatley lost control of the Ferrari 360 Modena he was driving. His teammate, Dan Snyder was critically injured, with a skull fracture, and died six days later. Heatley admitted to drinking prior to the incident.) And that head case of a goalie, Ray Emery. And Joe Corvo too. (Restaurant staff told him to leave, but Corvo returned, punched the woman and then kicked her when she fell to the ground, police said.) That must have been a difficult cast of characters to root for, eh?

Stfu you judgemental sheep. That was his best friend. People make mistakes and its important for ppl to forgive and progress. Pointing the finger is so easy, but when the tables turn and the microscope is on you, you will all the sudden be the victim with nobody there to forgive you. You are the douche, these guys were just young, and that was the way the world is sometimes when you're young and come into money. To label and judge something you literally know nothing about just proves how effing low you are. Goof.

My girlfriend died in a carcrash with her best friend, her best friend was drinking and driving, and she was one of the sweetest girls you'd ever meet, who made one mistake that cost her life. Sh** happens and we all learn from it and become better because of it. Its losers like you who act all high and mighty behind your keyboards and judgemental frames of a face that don't allow people the freeness to forgive themselves. Once again stfu.

You made no relevant points in that post, not to mention every player you mentioned except Alfie wasn't with the franchise long afterwards.

If I ever saw a bunch of Californian dummies sitting up front egging me on with a poorly thought out sign, fake tans, and bleach blonde hair, I'd shoot the puck to scare them too, duuude. Glass is made to take pucks shot at high speed, and I doubt your story about it cracking very much. Alfie just knew a wussy when he saw one, and decided to scare your sheltered family.

Not like he harmed you in any way, you crybaby - Typical Cali, up in arms over nothing.....Knows how to party, my ass.

Woah woah woah for the love of god don't hate on the spray tans! Just kidding don't worry. Every person has their own opinions obviously so does this even matter? Everything you said was fine until you call out his family. Is that ever really necessary?

And for the record, Ray Emery is a bada$$

Ya... we are smart enough to live where it is warm year round and we are dummies? I cant take all you stupid Canadians that think no one outside of freezing cold weather has any clue about hockey. I bet money I play, ref and watch more hockey in a week than you do in a month.

Any player, professional or not who takes a shot at another player is a complete coward and any professional who takes a shot at fans behind glass really does not deserver to be that because he is not a professional. He is a piece of Sh*t who has not won anything, nor will he.

All this about the other players on the Senators, wasn't Heatley originally with Atlanta when that unfortunate accident happened? Regardless that was a mistake by a teenager. Alfie's was no mistake. I hope that classless, coward never wins the cup....
