At the beginning of the season, the Ottawa Senators were the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. The easily sliced through the defending Stanley Cup champs, Tampa Bay Lightning, in the first round in just five games. But now, in just the second round of the playoffs, they were stopped dead in their tracks, losing three straight games to the Buffalo Sabers. They managed to pull out a win in game four to avoid the sweep, but then Buffalo ended Ottawa's season with a shorthanded overtime goal.Daniel Alfredsson, the captain of the Senators, really did not do squat in this series. Just kind of floating around on the ice, softly passing around the puck if it happened to land on his stick. It was a fitting end to their season that it was Alfredsson who was unsuccessfully guarding the overtime goal scorer. The captain really let down Ottawa, and all of Canada in a way, since Ottawa was thought be to Canada's best shot at reclaiming our cup. Now we'll have to hope that the Edmonton Oilers can continue their great effort. But really, nobody's going to get their hopes up on the 8th placed seed going all the way. So it looks like Canada will have to wait another year to get back the Stanley Cup. Oh well.

Got their chicken choked again huh? *roll eyes*
The Pens need more than just Crosby to get anywhere. He's a great player, but he really can't do it all by himself. Next year when they get Malkin, THEN you'll see some serious stuff.
