My take so far on the SC Final.... Pretty simple.....The Sens are getting beat by a better team. It doesnt even pain me to say that. They have not faced a team as big and as physical as the Ducks in the PO's. Although the Pens, Devils and Sabres are all really excellent teams, with different dynamics, IMO none of them are even close to the Ducks in the phyiscality department. I tip my hat to the Ducks, for playing the type of in your face physical game that wins PO games. You can almost descibe them, as having 4 or 5 young Gary Robert's on their team. If the Sens hope to have any chance, they need to win both games in Ottawa. IMO that will be a pretty tall order, but certainly not impossble. As the saying goes...you're never really in trouble until you lose at home. The Sens bandwagon is getting less crowded, but not everyone has jumped off just yet. A game 3 lose and you will here a steady thumping sound coming from Ottawa and we all know what the sound will be. To all those Leafs fans who are now, no doubt gloating about the Sens being down 2-0 and to charlied who is our lone "real" Ducks fan.....gloat away, it's all in good fun. No sensitive Sens fan here.

Nice eye!! The smile says it all. Thanks for sharing. FOTB

Excellent 2 part report. Thanks again for sharing. That's one nice pike you got there. FOTB

Great report and excellent pics. Thanks for sharing. I'd like to do a fly-in someday. FOTB

Excellent Report. Nice bunch of fish, especially the eye. Thanks for sharing. FOTB

bump...standings as of May 30th. Next update will come in a week. Keep those inches coming.

Keep up the goodwork. Team 6 is only 10" out of 1st place. FOTB

He's pulling your leg. That was caught in Europe somewhere. It's been posted before. FOTB

Some Nice Pike there. Thanks for sharing. Too bad you didnt have an "ofncommunity.com sign with you. Team 7 could have used those 36". Oh well....you will just have to go out and get a bigger one next time. FOTB

Nice Carp Photoz!! Thanks for sharing FYI...Team 5 already has a 34" Carp entry from Sonny. Anything under 34" is not worth getting the "ofncommunity.com" sign out for. OFC Tournament Leader Board FOTB

Some nice cats there. Too bad about the sign though. Oh well...better luck next time. FOTB

Nice Carp! Thanks for sharing. To bad you didnt have the "OFNCommunity.com" sign with you. You could have added a few inches to Team 1's total. Oh well....you will just have to go out and get a 30" plus monster and don't forget that sign next time. FOTB

My deepest condolences to you and your entire family Lew. Thanks for sharing some of your most precious memories of your brother and best friend. He will be with you always. FOTB

Hi UA, It looks to be about 30"...so i will put it down for 30" on the leader board for Team 10. I believe you are with Team 10. It also qualifies for the 2 bonus inches. Submit the pic with the "ofncommuniy.com sign to OFAH. Then provide the link to me and i we add an extra 2 inches to team 10's total. FOTB

Nice Carp UA. Thanks for sharing. Did you happen to take a measurement of that Carp with the OFNCommunity.com sign? It's over 30"...but how much over? FOTB

I normally don't get too emotional, but this brought tears to these 45 year old eyes. Words can't describe how sad i am for this little boy and his family. He left this world, knowing the Senators were going to the Stanley Cup Final. He left this world, knowing that Mike Fisher promised him, they would win the Stanley Cup. Ottawa Citizen Story Pictures of Boy I know some members here hate the Senators and hope they fail in their quest to win the SC. That's cool. I just had to post this little boys story here. I hope you don't mind. Don't come down too hard on this old man with tears streaming down his face. I know this little boy will be looking down from heaven and watching his favourite team in the Stanley Cup Final. I hope Fisher and the Sens fullfill their promise to this little boy. FOTB

The Sens have lost one game and we are already using the "choke" word. Ain't going to happen non sens fans. In fact i predict the Sens will lose again on Saturday, only to pull it out at home in game 6. With that said...a true Sabres fan wouldnt give up, so for that.... FOTB

Why can't "non Sens fans" give credit where credit is due? Let me guess...the Sens arent winning this series the Sabres are losing it....right? Sour grapes i say. FOTB
