It's a choke when you can't bring home the bacon

But you're right. Canadian teams are generally considered underdogs (well, maybe except this year) so Calgary and Edmonton did well to get that far.

i would.....


the home ice advantage in ottawa isnt even close to as good as it is in montreal or toronto where the cities actually give a hsit about their hockey teams.... ottawa fans only like them when they are winning.... they are a bunch of pussies

Originally posted by colonelcrisp but i still think its going to be ducks in 6 reason? emery cant stop giving up the rebounds.... he is horrible for it. that and the ducks are a fast and big team...

Emery had wicked rebound control last night, and that was probably the reason why game #2 ended with Anaheim scoring only 1 goal.

Ottawa isn't going to win unless they stop doing so many give aways and also decide to start skating. Most of the Sens haven't been skating hard this series at all. Even when they're on the offensive, they're out of position half the time because not everyone is skating hard and half the line is lagging behind, especially in the neutral zone and after dumping it in to Anaheims end.

Originally posted by Jeff Button I'm batting two for two on predictions... here's another. Ottawa is going to come out SMOKING in game 3. Giguere will play well, but it wont be enough. Sens will win 3 - 1. Home Ice will play a huge factor in this Stanley Cup.

ottawa not used to travelling like anaheim in the playoffs plus they have to mix up their lines to get something going. no idea if the two days will help but i believe ottawa will only win one of their home games.

highest paid guys (Alfie, Heatley, Spezza, Redden and lol, Gerber) haven't contributed, while Emery, Volchenkov, Phillips and Fisher have thrived under these tough conditions.

But then again, McDonald and Selanne, even Pronger haven't contributed offensively either. When these players start to get on the scoreboard, we could see an even more interesting series. For now, the Sens will have to use the energy from home ice to get some momentum for this series and put the pressure back on Anaheim.

The pressure was on the Sens, because they are Canadian based and heavily favoured. And oh yeah, Elgin Street bars suck and didn't deserve the business they were getting

You think pressure was on the Sens because they are a Canadian team? How exactly? Are you implying that Canadian teams are expected to win the Stanley Cup? I'm confused.

And I know some who picked Ottawa in this series, but how do you figure they were heavily favoured, or even a favourite to win period? Last I checked, Anaheim ranked higher in their conference, earned home ice - and were the more consistant of the two in the regular season.

you haven't been watching TSN, Sportsnet or reading the papers I guess

Ottawa has dominated in the playoffs and have been picked by most to win the Cup. As for the regular season, you can pretty much throw that out the window come playoff time (case in point, Atlanta ranked higher that several teams but had a lax regular season sched and took advantage of the outdated NHL seeding system. I can explain to you how that system works if needed).

As for the Canadian standpoint, go to any Canadian city and you'll see how much players are reminded that they are playing in Canada, especially come playoff time. Now contrast this to sunny Southern California. Here, it's on storefront windows, the media, city hall, restaurants, taxis, everywhere. These players are reminded constantly.

I was at our EDM club here in Ottawa and some e-tard decked in Sens gear head-to-toe was speaker dancing to tech house

Yes, I do watch TSN, Sportsnet, The Score, I listen to The Fan 590, yada yada.

This is Canadian media, so there will obviously be a sense of national pride on the line and favortism will exist when one of 'our' teams are in the cup. Sure, hottest team in the playoffs - and they were riding a good streak into the Stanley Cup.

BUT.....

This Anaheim team has the best combination of defense and goal tending (both regular season, and the playoffs). I can see why some people would pick Ottawa to win it all, based on how they played in the first three rounds - but a 'heavy favourite'? Far from it bro.....

I won't argue about Anaheim's attributes.. in fact I even picked them for the Finals in my hockey pool BEFORE the playoffs (vs Buffalo) and I've already won the $100

All I am saying is that a large majority of prognosticators picked Ottawa over Anaheim before this series started, even a brachiating, turd-smelling primate

Can anybody SERIOUSLY say they enjoy this hockey? 3-2 and 1-0 scores in the Stanley Cup Final? Holy fuck, it's painful to watch.

All the NHL is now is just one big neutral zone TRAP. The hooking is back stronger than ever, as is the clutching and grabbing. It's terrible, but we stupid Canadians just keep watching it to get our fix.

If Ottawa go on to lose this Final, that will be 4 straight Canadian teams to lose the last round since Montreal won it in 93. vancouver, calgary, edmonton and probaby Ottawa. The Canadian curse?

i don't read much of the canadian press for hockey, but anaheim has been heavily favored to win the cup from day one. imo it's theirs to lose and i can't think of who thought ottawa would overcome anaheim...hmmmmmm canadian propaganda
