On the 27th October 312 AD the battle of Milvian Bridge was fought near Rome. The two men contending for control of Rome and the Empire were Constantine, who controlled Gaul, England and parts of Germany and Maxentius, who controlled Italy, Spain and Africa.
It happens the two were brothers in law.
The day before the monumental and pivotal battle, Constantine saw a flaming cross in the sky, taking I as an omen, he had his men put a cross on their shields and banners.
Full of strength at what their commander had seen, Constantine’s men won the battle. Maxentius drowned crossing a bridge over the Tiber.
Rome would soon be unified under one ruler (only Licentius remained in Constantine’s way.)
Constantine would spend the ret of his reign Christianising his subjects.
He converted on his deathbed, becoming the first Christian Emperor, in 337 AD.
Who will win the Stanley cup?

I can’t believe the Ducks got to were they are in the first place. I say the Devils will beat them in 5 or 6 games at the most.

In my opinon, the Ducks are a very solid team. They were the second best team in the West during the second half of the season. They have a formula that just clicks, Defense and Goal scoring :) People like Peter Sykora (Former Devils Player!) score the goals, and Gigure builds a brick wall in front of the goal.

Wow, the Western conference is weaker than I thought, then. I mean, two shutouts in a row? Only 32 shots on goal in the series so far? Either the Ducks are really inconsistent or they’re not as good as they had hoped. I mean, even the Oilers beat NJ once.

I dunno a thing about hockey, but I’d cheer for the ducks, lol since I liked The Mighty Ducks movie when I was a kid :wink: . Well, either that or I’d cheer for the ones who had the coolest looking jerseys.

The Oilers didn’t beat NJ, they utterly destroyed them :)

“The Mighty Ducks”… Cincinnati is a farm team…How hokie! Named after a movie!?! Even if not… I can think of a coupla better names…
The Flying Pigs(Cincinnati)…
The Anabaptists(Anaheim) :roll: -
i wish anahiem will win but i think that devils will. why simple, both team have win all the game on their own ice ( as i post this, game 6 is on and the ducks lead 5 to 2 ) NJ win the first 2, then duck gets the two others, the fifth one for NJ and now the sixth game is going to the ducks so the last one will be paly on NJ ice and all the fans here will be so noisy !!!
so i think NJ will win the stanley cup, but i sincerely hope i’m wrong !

The “Mighty Ducks”…Is that a cute name or what? Gawd,they should have came up with a better moniker…However,the Pond (where the Ducks play),has a section of die-hards they call “Pond Scum”…Now thats funny!!
