I'm sorry buddy. I'd like all Canadian teams to do well, but they ain't got a chance in hell.
The Habs are going to trounce Boston, man. They have a decent chance of making it to the Conference Final.
Now, Ottawa has a chance. Let me explain how it happens.
1. Gerber gets on his game. He had it at the beginning of the year. He could get it back.
2. Spezza & Heatley play at their elite level. They didn't last year during the playoff finals and they have been somewhat lackluster the last of this year. If this was a lesser team they were facing, it'd be alright, but they are overmatched by Crosby, Hossa, and Malkin.
3. Ottawa's defense steps it up. Philips, Redden, et al have been lackluster of late. The best D in the stretch drive was probably Mike Commodore.
4. Gordie Howe and Bobby Orr revert to being 25 and decide to play for Ottawa.

We'll see, mate. I want them to win, don't get me wrong...

That is true, however they have lost A LOT of steam. The stormed out of the gate, but as LC has stated, Spezza, who had 30 points in a span of two months and Heatly who had like 20 and was a top the charts in goals, lost it towards the end, they are also without Alfie and.... some other dudes who are KEY. And most importantly, Emery is a inconsistent, unprofessional thug and I believe one of the MAJOR reasons for Ottawa's fall from grace and Gerber is inconsistent, which forces Ottawa's D to be PERFECT game in and game out... Sure they have a shot, they are a good club (very good), but the planets have to align the right way for them.
Next year we should do a Maidenfans.com Hockey Pool. Or even a Fantasy League.
game two tonight bitches!
So I'm watching the Ottawa-Pittsburgh game, and what do I hear coming from the stadium speakers during a break?
"Your time will come! Your time will cooooooooooome! Your time will come! Your time will cooooooooommee!"
Fuckin' A.
