I Now Have One Foot Firmly Placed On The Ottawa Band Wagon

Michael Griffiths · May 7, 2003

They're an amazing team. I hope they destroy the Devils. Ottawa in 2, maybe 3.

It would be great to see two Canadian *elite* teams make to the finals, hey Chizip? :wink:

Angel · May 7, 2003

Ottawa in two? :eyebrow:

Michael Griffiths · May 7, 2003

Angel, it was a joke! Though they're so good you never know...

Can you feel the excitement???!!!

Marian Hossa:

Wade Redden and Daniel Alfreddson (another European captain!):

Angel · May 7, 2003

good joke

nice pictures. Ottawa indeed is a righteous team.

LarryMullen's POPAngel · May 7, 2003

I'd love it if Ottawa won. :hyper:

Devils =

And Wade Redden likes U2, hehe. :angel:

Michael Griffiths · May 7, 2003

Does he really? So does Forsberg apparently.

The Canucks must be sick of 'Streets' by now! It must wear a little thin after a while. Great pump up song as a pre-game, but I think maybe they should switch it up now and then.

LarryMullen's POPAngel · May 7, 2003

Yep, I read it on some site today.

I know it sounds bad, me singling out a few attractive players on the team, but in all honesty, I am really happy that the Sens are in the Conf. Finals. I mean, come on... Does anyone remember what the first few years of that team's existence was like? So, I am more than happy to see them there. :up:

Plus, having an all Canuck Cup Final would be pretty cool.

I couldn't disagree with you more! I hope they never change it! Unless it was for another U2 song... but it just gets me going BIG time. :wink:

I

you.

Michael Griffiths · May 7, 2003

I agree with you Angel. It's a fantastic opener to the game, and the energy is incredible. 'Streets' is one of my top 2 or 3 favourite U2 songs. That said, after hearing it for two straight seasons, it doesn't do quite as much for me as it once did. Even so, a thinning 'Streets' is better than a full anything else! I just like the song so much, I guess I don't want to get tired of it, because that would suck!

Aw, thanks Angel. :sexywink:

Aw, you didn't have to say that, but thank-you. You're from the US, right? I think you said Detroit? That's very sweet of you.

Woohooo!! Ottawa in 2 sounds good to me!!
Although there's some people around here *wanderer, ahem* who actually think New Jersey will take it.....

Ah, a man can dream................

Michael Griffiths · May 7, 2003

Is Wanderer around here? I haven't seen him here in about a month. Do you know his where abouts?

Angel · May 7, 2003

Wanderer got scared away..... ladywiththespinninghead.

... and Michael the I :heart:

you was for April, but I guess there is room for more... :sexywink:

Michael Griffiths · May 7, 2003

I know, I was just being naughty. Thanks for the extras though!!

Just for you...

:hug:

NJ in 4

Ottawa are perrenial playoff chokers

like the Blues

Chizip · May 7, 2003

and I think an all Canadian finals would be bad for the sport. I'm sure it would get everybody in Canada all horny, but people in the US would care even less than normal. And let's face the facts, the NHL needs American support in order to survive. The ratings are low enough as it is, something that would make them even lower wouldnt be good.

LarryMullen's POPAngel · May 7, 2003

Hehe.

Yes, Michael, born and raised in Detroit. Hockey fan since around the same time I was really heavily getting into U2, about '92-93.

Hell, let's have a big ole Canadian team love-in, woohoo!!! :sexywink:

That's a good point Chizip, but long term I think it would be the beginning of a positive trend. Eventually, the saleries would have to hit a cap in order for the NHL to sustain itself. So, I'm still cheering for an all Canadian final!

Ah, 92-93, the year that Gretz took the Kings to the finals *sigh*
Again, thanks for the love-in!

Lately, I've been agreeing more and more with the chizzer... should I see a doctor? It would be nice for Canada, but as far as the long term success of the sport... the American market needs to be saturated (that means at least one finalist needs to be American based).

Beyond all that though, I still don't think Ottawa has "it"... at the beginning of the playoffs, I thought New Jersey was the team to beat, and there's no reason to doubt that now. So, to keep with consistency I'll say New Jersey in 7... but will anyone be awake by the time the series gets that far? The trap = bad version of zone defense... something must be done I tell you (no wonder there aren't a lot of American viewers, there are very few entertaining teams left... except Vancouver, and maybe Anaheim... just for the miracle factor).

LarryMullen's POPAngel · May 7, 2003

NJ is the most boring team on the face of this earth.

I still have nightmares about 95. :crack:

oh the memories...that had to be one of the worst finals EVER. :yawn:

ladywithspinninghead · May 8, 2003

As for Wanderer..yeah, he admitted this morning that he hardly checks here anymore.....(although he and I talk all the time outside of here)...

But he definitely won't have a reason to check here in about a week or so!!

First, it wasn't even a full season, only 48 games, then the stinking DEVILS won!!! (Not that I am biased or anything, with Detroit being the runner-up :tongue:

... it was sweeter, though, to win it in '97.)

LarryMullen's POPAngel · May 9, 2003

If you post that one more time Chizip I will kick your ass. :wave:

zonelistener · May 9, 2003

The Blues-like history hurts.
