Sens Biggest Little Fan

If this doesn't pull at your heartstrings, well you don't have a heart.

The Finals are Here!

OK, back in September DCSC and I went to Vegas. While there I decided to put a bet down for the Stanley Cup final. My belief back then was that it was going to be an Anaheim Ducks and Ottawa Senators in the final. I have learned my mistake when it comes to betting. At least for me. Never bet on the team you want to win. It always goes the other way. For some reason the Betting Gods hate me. So being the prudent Chanuck that I am, I thought I would hedge my bets. If for some reason the Betting Gods hates me, the team I pray to win, will win. Otherwise I will be up a couple bucks. Lets hope I am $120 short in a couple weeks.

And the winner is!

The winner is Prince hands down. It was no contest in my book. Michael Jackson was in the running only cause he had help from his sister Janet; Ms Jackson, cause I'm nasty. Better luck next year Michael, but I think the results will be the same.

When is a touch a touch?

As noted in a comment by Caps Nut about one of my previous posts, one of the Senators did carry the Wales trophy. I saw this and heard on XM that it was Spezza. His comment was that it was not the ultimate goal, but it should still be treated with respect. This got me to start looking around.

Now my personal superstition started when the Capitals carried it and acted like they won Lord Stanley.


But as I was looking I found a few more examples of what to do and what not to do.

Check out the 2003 cup champions the New Jersey Devils.

Can you guess who won the 2002 Stanley cup from these pictures? East West

Senators Salt the Slugs!!

Elation!!

the First one bitch. NBC what the Fuck is your problem! If you don't want to broadcast the entire game why do you insist on screwing with the hockey schedule (insisting on afternoon games on weekend). For those of you north of the border. When today's game went to overtime, NBC switched to Versus. Unfortunately the hotel DCSC and I are staying at does not have Versus. What an annoyance. Lucky for me we are close to ESPNzone. After informing the kid controlling the TVs that the game switched to Versus we were good to go. I was even congratulated by a few guys (slightly sauced) for getting them to switch the channel. There was something good coming out of the switch. I was able to celebrate the win with fellow Senators fans, far from home.

Now to the glow. Don't know what to say other than WOW! Alfie did touch the trophy, but he did not pick it up. So my superstition radar is not in overload. I take one bit of satisfaction that the Devils touched it in 2003 and still won. Four more wins to go. It is going to be real tough against the west. One good thing is that the Duck and Dead Things (red wings) are going to kick each others ass. Might be helpful for us. Here is hoping.

Go Senators!

Just don't touch it.

Tonight the Senators have a chance to close out the Eastern conference championship. I have one word of warning from a superstious person. Take a cue from last years champions, and don't touch the Prince of Wales trophy. This is not the goal. WE WANT STANLEY!

Who's house, Sens house!

Thanks to a 5-2 and a 4-3 overtime win. The Senators own the HSBC Arena. It feels good, but it is not over yet. Anything can still happen, but it was nice to hear that prior tonight, the Slugs were undefeated when leading by two goals. Way to go boys, keep up the good work!

One foot in front of the other.

Title refference in case some of you don't remember it. Gets stuck in my head sometimes.



I am taking each win in stride. We have been here before, but somehow it feels a little different. The Senators look sharper, a closer better team that I have seen in the past. I love the chemistry that this team is showing on and off the ice. The only thing that can spoil the fun is the threat of a strike. Hopefully the powers that be at ScotiaBank Place can settle the possibility of a strike by the arena workers. Hard to got to the Cup finial if you don't have a rink to play in.

On another note, read Scarlet Ice's take on what is happening to Shane Doan. This is getting out of control and I cannot control my anger at what is happening to him. I have always thought he was a stand-up guy and reading what teammates have said about him, backs up that feeling. The Bloc Quebecois has always been a hack organization and this just proves it.

Way too angry!!

Hooray!

Still too drunk and happy! But very pleased. Keep up the good work guys.
