The SBP Archives - Your less than frequent dose of SBP!

...especially with the Sens playing only .500 hockey the month of January, but what would be the perfect way for the Senators to win the Stanley Cup? They would have to face teams whose demons need exorcising...(this reflects just how obsessive and perhaps demented I am about the Ottawa Senators)

They start off taking on a battered and bruised 8th place Maple Leafs, finish them off in 5 games and from there get on a high that they cannot get down from. They then play a formidable Sabres team, while veterans like Redden and Alfredsson have not forgotten their previous playoff losses to them some years ago. Although Buffalo is boosted by the return of Daniel Briere, goaltender Ryan Miller's inexperience in the playoffs have them lose in 6. New Jersey upsets the Flyers and 'Canes to face Ottawa in a classic Conference Final rematch from 2002-03. It is a battle of Hasek vs Brodeur, but Ottawa's firepower proves the difference as Patrik Elias can't score by himself and beats them in seven games. They go on to face the Calgary Flames in the Stanley Cup finals which has the whole country eating, breathing and living the series. Ottawa takes advantage of their home ice, winning all of their home games while SBP is in the corner front row against the glass throwing himself repeatedly against it as Alfie hoists Lord Stanley, a complete 180 from the depressed look from the game 7 conference final loss in 2002-2003.

Ahhhh...to dream.... :)
