The Senators were undefeated. Actually, the only ones in the pre-season. Now they are 2 - 0 to start too.

The Senators are definitely a good team but I think Anaheim earned the cup last year.

Good to see some fellows in the USA are true hockey fans , however "Stanley" is coming home to Canada at the end of this season .
Gotta go with the Leafs
Like so many others born in the "Big Smoke", I also admit to being a Leafs fan. And in true hockey fan fashion, I cannot stand any other team at all. There. Done.
(And to my knowledge, that fact has nothing to do with the fact that I am grumpy)

I'm actually kinda surprised that Drury is a Ranger now.
There's no team I hate more than the Rangers. The Leafs come close but can't stand the Rangers. I hope someone lays out Jagr and Orr this year.

This is our local AHL team, I'm going to opening night this Saturday. While I am not really a big hockey fan I know it will be a good time, and for $10 tickets it ain't a bad deal!

The AHL like the OHL ( Ontario ) and other leages/teams in the same level of hockey offer some great games and talent . These kids are out there working their asses off trying to get into the NHL and getting paid little to do it plus putting in long hours on busses as well as continuing their education .
$10 for those games is a bargain and IMHO a better deal then you have to pay for NHL games .

It is the sport. I truly do not understand the popularity of football, baseball and to lesser degree, basketball. The only two sports I am interested in are hockey and soccer (English Premier League, to be more precise).
I agree. The Ducks outplayed them, there's no doubt about it. They had the ability and talent though. I was surprised at the way it turned out especially since the Sens plowed through all the other teams to get there.
I am still a little bitter that Pronger only got one game for his hit to the head, especially since he had a similar infraction in the previous series! Look at that new guy for Philly that got 20 games for his hit on McAmmond in the preseason. He'll never make the league now. A little bit of inequality?

If Pronger still played for a Canadian based team, you can be sure that he would have received more (think Domi with his stupid elbow to Scott Neidermeyer in a series a few years ago). If Ottawa had not made it to the finals, then guaranteed that Downey would not have been so severely punished as he apparently had been - put that hit in a game between Philadelphia and Minnesota Wild and what happens? A five minute charging penalty.
Oh, please please please, can't NBA take Bettman back?????
