Ducks' dressing room no place for Carlyle
Zdenek Matejovsky was wrapping up an interview of Gooding for Finnish TV about his chat with Selanne following the game when Matejovsky asked, "Will you please ...?"
He didn't need to finish the question because Gooding struck a pose and said, "SHOW ME THE CUP!" - a variation on his famous movie line.

TOCCHET'S STATUS: NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will wait until the league completes its investigation into Rick Tocchet's plea to gambling charges before deciding whether he can return to work.
"I'm not really in a position to say what's going to happen," Bettman said while in Anaheim for the beginning of the Stanley Cup finals.
Phoenix Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky has said he wants Tocchet back as an assistant after more than a year on leave.
Tocchet pleaded guilty last week to promoting gambling and conspiracy to promote gambling in a plea deal that may spare him jail time.
Bettman said he'll decide Tocchet's status after the coach is sentenced this summer and after the league's independent investigator has interviewed Tocchet and completed his report.

HALL OF FAME AWARDS: Dave Fay, who covers the Washington Capitals, and the late Bill Hewitt, voice of "Hockey Night in Canada" for more than 30 years, will be honored by the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
Fay will receive the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for writing about the Capitals for the Washington Times since the early 1980s.
"Dave Fay is one of the most beloved characters in our organization, a man known for his biting wit and humor," said Kevin Allen, president of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.
Hewitt will receive the award named for his father, the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award, which honors outstanding contributions to the broadcast profession and the game of hockey. The younger Hewitt was the voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs until 1982. He died in 1996.
Fay and the Hewitt family will receive their awards on Nov. 12.
