LAst Night's Action: Holy Quack!

No frickin' way.Ducks 6, Senators 2 - Hell didn't freeze over, but Orange County did. Anaheim pounded Ottawa to win the NHL Finals 4-1 and bring the Stanley Cup to California for the first time. There's plenty being said about this on LAist, so keep reading!

Twins 8, Angels 5 - One cold-weather team blew into Anaheim and came out on top. Of course, this game wasn't nearly as significant. Errors created a major subplot, with Minnesota tacking on four runs after an Orlando Cabrera error and Luis Castillo botching a play for the first time in 143 games (a record for second basemen). The Angels had a five game winning streak snapped, but still control the division by five and a half games.

Padres 5, Dodgers 2 - Russell Martin has made some memorable plays for the Dodgers this year, but Wednesday he was on the other end of a big moment in baseball history. Trevor Hoffman struck him out to earn career save number 500.

Elsewhere - Can you bench press more than the likely #2 draft pick in the NBA? Probably ... Somebody must have been reading our posts about booze and charity ... LA Coliseum is still going nowhere fast. Is that really news? ... Who gave the Lakers permission to raise ticket prices? It's $2,300 to sit courtside next season, assuming you can actually get your hands on a ticket.
