OK Duck Fans break out your wallet because there is another product for you to buy. I have some analysis by the folks at ESPN and a little more on Kent Huskins day with the cup.

"chronicles the Ducks' run to the Stanley Cup title. It features recaps of the regular season and every round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, with tons of photos from every game, the post game celebrations, on the road in Ottawa and more"
Its $10 at the team store
