A lot of folks see a sweep and assume mismatch. It wasn't. It had overtime. It had game-in-dispute in the third periods of all four games. And of course it had the eternal Tik what-if that OC alluded to. What it didn't have was our shut-down checking forward Kono. I personally will always wonder what if he'd dressed and been matched against Feds. TG, that’s an a good and important reminder about the series. A lot of folks see a sweep and assume mismatch.

On the subway home afterwards, a couple Detroit fans started talking to us and said, "Detroit will probably win the series, and may even sweep again, but the Caps are playing them so much tougher than Philadelphia did last year." I was proud of them. Too bad they then got old and injured and the team fell apart. *sigh* I got to go to Game 3.

It was difficult but watching my two favorite teams playing each other for the Cup. I was hoping the Caps would take it since the Wings had won it just the year before. But it was also emotional seeing Vlady out on the MCI Center ice. One day the Caps will do it. Hopefully very soon. It was a great run.
