I've been taking some flack for my support of Canada' Team of Destiny , your OTTAWA SENATORSSSSSSSSS.
As you probably know, I could give a flying crap. I'm just like a lot of my friends, sick to death of the Leaf organization and their lack of action on anything except raising ticket prices every year.
Happy 40 years of futility fans...now suck down another price increase.
I've had a bunch of people writing. One said, "But there are more Canadians on the Ducks!"
How weak is that argument. The Ducks are based in America, the Sens are based in Canada. Duh, we live in Canada ergo...oh forget it.
Yesterday I got this comment:
HH, you are a shit disturber.
Go DUCKS Go.
They're going to win another one tonight and the AlfredSENS are history.
I thought the AfredSens thing was clever. As for shit, I really don't like to disturb it, honest. I say leave it alone and let it be for crying out loud, its shit and it shouldn't be dealt with.
I thought the best perspective came from my old pal Bruce Barker.
For me it is rather simple since I covered the 2004 cup final in Calgary and last year in Edmonton which both ended in game 7 heartbreaks ....I have to go with Ottawa for 2 reasons.
One of those is very simple I WANT THE STANLEY CUP IN CANADA and yes I am a Leaf fan but I would rather see the cup in the nations
capital before it is in Disneyland.
And the personal reason is that my good pal Jason Spezza plays for the Senators and after all the stuff we went through when we were together with the Mississauga Icedogs HE DESERVES A STANLEY CUP RING !!!!!!
So there you have it GO SENS !!!!!!!!!!
So there you have it.

Each player from the Stanley Cup championship team gets to take the Cup home so as there are less Canadian players on the Senaturds than on the Ducks, the Cup will spend LESS time in Canada with the Senaturds than with the Ducks, when it would be making the rounds of various European countries more than it would in Canada. Yeah, way to go.
This is not the US vs Canada and saying bringing the Cup home to Canada is, considering the multi-cultural, and multi-national (wrt to the players) face of the NHL completely absurd and totally meaningless.
I'm still ABO and will NOT cheer for Ottawa! However, the game on Saturday was a good game
