Anaheim
AFTER FIVE years of covering the Ducks full-time nothing compares to the night they finished off a dominating five-game series victory over Ottawa to claim the Cup. It was all about reactions. Tears flowing from Teemu Selanne’s face. Scott Nieder-mayer passing the Cup to brother, Rob, and later sharing a private moment with wife, Lisa, at center ice. And there was the boisterous scene in the dressing room. Ilya Bryzgalov and George Parros spraying champagne over anyone in sight. Pronger serving his friends some libations from the Cup. Reporters drenched, unable to hold back their smiles. An unforgettable moment to say the least.…
JERSEY Hound
Time for a little issue synergy: Ken Campbell’s cover story on Les Costello (pg. 28) harkens back to a time when barnstorming priests took on all comers for charity, but it was also an era of some very fine hockey sweaters. And since the Flying Fathers were sharp on the ice, they had to look the part too, which they did in these sweet brown and gold duds, complete with a fun (and unique) oval logo. Seems like every hockey player had a buzz cut back then, doesn’t it?…
WOMEN WORTH NOD FROM HALL

For its entire history, the HHoF’s induction committee treated the Hall’s highest honor as the sole property of those with both X and Y chromosomes. Although nothing in the Hall’s regulations specifically forbade women from being inducted, the lack of even a single female – even in the builders category – spoke volumes about the institution’s attitude toward half of the population. But with every passing year – and after other hockey Halls of Fame beat them to it (the IIHF and U.S.) – the HHoF finally did the right thing and announced that not one, but two women would be the first to go in and assume their rightful place among hockey’s immortals. And in picking…
Dallas
THE TOUGHEST morning flight I’ve ever had was at 6 a.m. out of Buffalo after Game 6 of the 1999 Cup final. The Stars won in triple OT in controversial fashion – Brett Hull’s ‘skate-in the-crease’ goal – and I didn’t sleep before stumbling to the airport. Upon arriving in Dallas that morning, I drove out to the Stars’ practice facility and saw a celebration with the players’ family and friends. I don’t think I’ve ever seen professional sports be so personal. Derian Hatcher held his newborn son, Kelton, in his huge hands and gently placed him in the Cup. Pat Verbeek embraced his parents and thanked them for the years of hard work it took to help him become an NHL player.…
