watching a team win the cup is definitely something special, other girls get choked up during movies and i get choked up watching the last game of the stanley cup finals. it was sad seeing ottawa watching anaheim celebrate and it was great seeing scott pass the cup to rob...i give ottawa props for playing so well in the east but this was anaheim's cup to win or lose from day one. i think ottawa will have a strong showing in the future and it's great to see another canadian team make it to the finals (even though that does nothing for american ratings, which you HAVE to admit is important primarily because of exposure & tv money). definitely a good ending to a great playoff race

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Plus you really wanted Teemu to win a cup.

Originally posted by smuncky wow. jsut wow. thats all u sens fans think about. u guys must be leafs fans deep down inside, cuz thats all you talk about. even when ur team gets into the finals.

That's a pretty thick brush you're painting us with... the Leafs haven't crossed my mind all year save the odd argument I get into with their fans. (which I've learned is just futile)

I was on the GoTrain when Ottawa was down 2-0 and some Leafs fans was saying how he couldn't wait to see the city of Toronto celebrate when they lose. Leafs fans are the first people to rub it in when they win or your team loses, that's part of the reason why I dislike the team so much. So I'm pretty sure it goes both ways.

One a side note, future looks great for them, they made good strides this year. They need to make a few personnel changes:

- get rid of Redden. He's a brutal, overrated defenseman. Free up the cap space, get another rugged forward on the 2nd line who can score. Put the 'A' on Fisher's chest.

- get rid of Comrie... he's a wimp

- throw Saprykin on waivers

- fire Muckler and replace him with Murray, the guy who built Anaheim, as coach and GM. Muckler is old and senile, and has screwed up majorly at the trade deadline 2 years in a row.
Last year: Bochenski for Arnason... where is Arnason now? Colorado? And how bad did Ottawa need depth with 2nd line scoring this year?
This year: a chance to get Gary Roberts, an ideal second line winger. Who does he get instead? Comrie and Saprykin? The 2 worst forwards on the team one of which was a healthy scratch most of the time?
I say Ottawa would have competed way better in the final than they did if they had Roberts and Bochenski, likely even won it.

my apologies. there are exceptions of course. its just that i also go to another sports forum, and the majority have the same mentality/arguments as Spin Laden does.

it just seems that every single time something goes wrong with ottawa, most of the fans bring out the old "the leafs won the cup 40 years ago" routine.

Not really sure I'm understanding your question, but as for my ideas I guess they weren't implemented before because I'm not the GM of the Ottawa Senators?
