THE TOP STORIES

TRAVIS MOEN BECOMING THE TOAST OF TWO TOWNS
Terry Jones writes in the EDMONTON SUN, “Stewart Valley, Saskatchewan, was a one-elevator town until they tore it down. Now it’s a one horse town. That horse, however, is Travis Moen. And today he’s the toast of the town…The Anaheim Ducks had just ridden the broad back of the 6-foot-2, 216-pound player to another Stanley Cup playoff win, this one with Moen scoring the winner with less than three minutes to play to give the Ducks a 3-2 win in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final. For the second time this spring, Moen scored the game-winner. The first was in overtime against Vancouver. Now, the 75 citizens of the Stewart Valley are going to have to put up a little bigger ‘Home of Travis Moen’ sign than ‘the little one,’ as the Duck describes it, that greets folks driving through the place, 10 km outside of Swift Current. Three more wins and Moen will be bringing the Stanley Cup to the Stewart Valley Co-op.”

ROB NIEDERMAYER BUILDING HIS OWN NAME
Mark Whicker writes in the ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, “They don’t wear the capital letter of their first names on the jersey, so it’s just Niedermayer and Niedermayer. Scott and Rob to you. Norm and Cliffie in the clubhouse. That started long ago in Cranbrook, British Columbia, where the Stanley Cup shows up every few years. Maybe it’s a sign of their advancing age, since ‘Cheers’ hasn’t been in prime time for several years now. But Scott is Norm and Rob is Cliffie. Of course, Norm Peterson and Cliff Clavin were brothers only in the barstool sense. And, of course, it would be hard for anybody, even a FEMA official, to confuse Scott Niedermayer with George Wendt.”

SCORESHEET DOESN’T SHOW MILLER’S CONTRIBUTION
Eric Duhatschek writes in the GLOBE AND MAIL, “(Randy) Carlyle tried something new; he inserted Andrew Miller, an untried rookie with a rich hockey pedigree, into the lineup. Miller practised with Teemu Selanne and Andy McDonald for three days and Carlyle liked enough of what he saw that he gave Miller the chance to play in last night’s opener of the Stanley Cup final…In the first period, with the Ducks down a goal, Miller, 23, rubbed out Ottawa defenceman Wade Redden on the boards with a big hit, jarring the puck loose. Selanne scooped it up, fed it to McDonald, and just like that, the Ducks were back in the game, tied at one apiece. They went on to record a 3-2 victory. The momentum had switched, and they pushed the play from that point on until the end of the period, all because of a big, clean hit by a rookie who officially didn’t even earn an assist on the play.”

HE SAID IT
“He’s got a better save percentage than I do.” — Senators goaltender Ray Emery, on teammate Anton Volchenkov’s 10 blocked shots in last night’s game.
