Intensity

Oh man, watching the Ducks vs. Senators game on Monday was one of the most intense sports watching experiences ever. Right when they dropped the puck the players were skating twice as fast and hitting three times harder than a normal game. The Senators kept taking the lead and the Ducks had to battle back. But there is this sense of confidence you have when Pronger and Scott Niedermayer are on the ice. If the Ducks keep hitting hard and playing aggressive, but can cut down on the silly penalties (like Getzlaf's repeated cross-checks and May's pointless clothesline) then they will win the whole thing. Plus Jiggy is a stud.

Thanks to the OC Register for the great photos.
