Ten years ago you'd be right. Now it's leaning more to the Sens side, with more every day. The Habs are in a distinct third, mostly in the Outauious

I'd assume they're popular anywhere outside the centre of the Universe. Honestly I dont' blame them (and when they're brethren was in the finals, I know I was rooting for them to take out the Bettman poster-teams)

That's right ba-bee, we're off to the big dance!

The monkey is dead, shot hard into the twine.

A view that never gets old (although the third one should not have been needed. Darn Afiniganov)

Always liked this. Even if you cant' stand he guy, it's a nice touch of class. Damn Buffalo goalie.

Want a way to have a Leaf fans blood boil? Show him this picture. (and if things go well, have it replaced with the Cup in a week

)

Ya got to give him credit. He kept them in it. IMO it's why it wasn't a sweep.

It's a beautiful thing. It really is.

I was on the 417 listening to Team 1200 when Alfie scored the OT winner, man that was awesome!

Two very good organizations that I couldn't really root against (most especially since the Sabres changed their godawful former uniforms and brought back the yellow/blue colour theme). I just hoped whoever took the East would win the Stanley Cup, and I still hope the Senators can win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history (especially if they face Anaheim).

With guys like Drury, Brière, Miller, Vanek, that was a great team to watch. I doubt the co-captains will both be back next year, and they might not be as dominant, but hey, Ottawa had a better regular season last time around and it's only this year that they reach the final.

You like the slugs?

I think their logo looks like that little mechanical ball with a small furry animal attached to it. But it beats the reddish jerseys. Yellow and blue are nice colours, and I also dig when they wear the old-time uniforms too. They're one of the nicest NHL uniforms ever.

I'll agree that the ones from the 80's were good and they should have stuck with them. The red and black things will not be missed (nor will the slugs)

Actually, I will, reluctantly, root for the Eastern Conference team in the finals. Especially if the Ducks win the West. <shudder>

On this we can agree. A Ottawa-Detroit final would be much more enjoyable to watch.

A team I quite like against a team I quite dislike. It'd be nice for the Senators to win this thing.

I feel lucky to have grown up in minnesota watching Basil McRae, Shane Churla, and Disco Dino in the Gold and Yellow. Quite a bunch of characters on that team, plus Modano when he was just good and not whiny.

I still have a sweet poster of Dino in my garage.

Brian Bellows and Bobby Smith were two pretty decent players. Bellows was my favourite with the Habs when they won the Stanley Cup.

he was a bit of a tool to, though. He was always shilling this "Switch It" thing where you coudl swap out inline holders for ice holders on your boots.

But the coolest north star of all time was Henry Boucha-i'll never forget my first trip to Lake of The Woods Casino in Warroad and seeing that giant mural of him.

Glad I'm not the only one. As I kidded around with our resident leaf fan at work today, the Ducks fanbase jsut exploded in size (with Leaf Nation rooting for them)

Kekkonen · 05-29-2007, 06:52 AM

Well, well. Now did the Moen - Påhlsson - Niedermeyer line do a job on Spezza & co or what?
