One of the most exciting times in the world of sports is simply game seven. That’s what we’ll have Sunday night in southern California as the Anaheim Ducks host the Detroit Red Wings.
Last night, Red Wings’ captain Henrik Zetterberg scored at 1:04 of overtime to give the Red Wings a 4-3 win over the Ducks to tie their Western Conference quarterfinal series at three games apiece.
The Red Wings might have a strong core of veterans, but after all these years are still getting it done. Goaltender Jimmy Howard is playing at an elite level as Detroit will look to move on during their last year in the Western Conference. How dangerous will Detrot be next year in the East? The answer is very. The game will be seen Sunday night on TSN at 8:00 p.m.
Here are the other events I’ll be watching this weekend:
Saturday & Sunday– PGA–Players Championship–NBC–12 p.m.– Spain’s Sergio Garcia, probably one of the best golfers in the world to have never won a major, currently leads Tiger Woods by a stroke after shooting a -11 at Sawgrass over the first two days of competition. Garcia and Woods have won the Players Championship once before– Woods in 2001 and Garcia in 2008. As for the first round leader, American Roberto Castro, he went from -9 to -3 and 1st to 30th after shooting a 78 on Friday.

For the second consecutive playoff game, the Edmonton Oil Kings won by a score of 6-1.
Last night at Rexall Place, the Oil Kings defeated the Moose Jaw Warriors to take a 2-0 series lead in the Western Hockey League’s Eastern Conference Championship.
Jordan Peddle of Elbow, Saskatchewan scored two goals and Henrik Samuelsson scored a goal and two assists.
But even though the 6-1 scores of games one and two were a mirror image of each other, the games were actually completely different. The Warriors actually outshot the Oil Kings last night 49-32 as Laurent Brossoit made 48 saves. The two teams had 30 shots each in game one.
Ironically, there has been identical scores in the Western Conference Final as well. The Portland Winterhawks have defeated the Tri-City Americans 5-4 in games one and two of their series as well.
The Edmonton/Moose Jaw series now shifts to Moose Jaw for game three and a 7pm start time.

The city of Edmonton has a great chance of winning a championship in 2012. It’s just the Memorial Cup, not the Stanley Cup.

Hometown product Stephane Legault led the Oil Kings in scoring with two goals and an assist.
