Just Try Stealing Anaheim's Cup

As the hockey world wraps its collective brain around the incredible Stanley Cup Playoff match-ups we've been given in Round One, it might be a good time to recall that the defending champions have lost exactly six games since Feb. 5. The Anaheim Ducks are trying to become the first team since the 1996-98 Detroit Red Wings to win back-to-back Stanley Cups. They draw the Dallas Stars in the four/five series -- one that could be decided by special teams, as Dallas went 0-for-15 in its three losses to Anaheim and 9-for-23 in its five wins.

Sports with Steve has made the argument that the Ducks are the team to beat in the postseason, and that "there's just nobody out there that can stop them in a seven-game series." If it's Anaheim's Cup to lose, that means someone is going to have to take it from them. And if this comedic attempt is any indication, that won't be easy -- beware the Parros!
