In the Stanley Cup, a Roots sweater versus Anaheim chiles
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- More than the Stanley Cup is at stake in this year's National Hockey League finals.California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Canadian Premier of Ontario Dalton McGuinty placed a friendly bet on the fate of their two teams, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and the Ottawa Senators. "California is the proud home to the best of the best - that's why I am confident that the Ducks will bring the legendary Cup to the Golden State," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. If the Ducks win the Stanley Cup, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will get a one-month supply of Tim Horton's coffee, a variety of "high quality" Ontario wines and a Roots sweater, according to the statement. But, if the Ducks lose, Schwarzenegger will give McGuinty a custom-made jacket by clothing designer Tony Nowak and a selection of Calfornia-grown products, including Anaheim chiles, boysenberry jam from Knott's Berry Farm, a variety of fruit and a case of California wine -- both red and white varieties. The Ducks won the first game 3-2 on Monday night. --CNN Associate Producer Lauren Kornreich
