Webbed feat: Ducks wrap up first NHL title for a California team
Mighty once and for all.
The Ducks, once derided by hockey purists for their goofy nickname and cartoonish logo, completed their ascent to the top of the NHL by winning their first Stanley Cup championship with a 6-2 rout of the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night at the Honda Center.
As a standing-room-only crowd of 17,372 stood on its feet and roared in the final four minutes, the Ducks, winning the series in five games, brought home the trophy they openly talked about pursuing when training camp began in September.
"I think we've been holding back on the emotions for the last couple of days and it's one of those things that's kind of surreal at this point," Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle said. "You can't really fathom that we've got it done."
Scott Niedermayer, the Ducks' captain, was named the Conn Smythe winner as the most valuable player in the postseason.
