The unthinkable has happened. The Wild finished off Vancouver in game seven tonight with a score of 4-2. The Wild now go on to meet the Ducks to find out which underdog team will earn a chance to face the top team in the east. It is strange to think that only two series in the west this year have been won by the team with home ice advantage. Dallas won against Edmonton, and Vancouver beat St. Louis. However, both Dallas and Vancouver couldn't make it past the second round with home ice advantage and fell to the underdog. ESPN has been calling Anaheim's playoff run a fairy tale (Most likely due to the team's ownership). If you ask me, the entire Western Confrence has been some kind of bad dream.

The east has been another story. Every series has been won by the team with home ice. Every single one, and most of them in less then seven games. If the trend goes on in both confrences, we are going to be seeing Anaheim meet Ottawa in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Again, who in their right mind saw that one coming?
