Porter's Words Send Ducks and Wings to Playoffs

I had the pleasure of interviewing Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings and Samuel Påhlsson of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim a couple months ago for an article I wrote for www.sweden.se. At the end of each interview, I said, "Good luck in the playoffs." It turns out my words ended up guiding both players and their teams to the race for the Stanley Cup.

Little did I know that these five words would have such an impact on these players. It was as if I opened up a new world of possibilities for both of them. Just to test my new found powers, I whispered, "Good luck winning the lottery" to my wife as she headed into town yesterday. Nothing yet, but it's still early.

The two teams are battling it out in the 2007 NHL Western Conference Finals. Detroit currently leads the seven-game series by 2-1.
