    I hate Ottawa more than Philly, and that's bad.

     

    My hate list:

     

    Ottawa

    Philly

    Vancouver

    Montreal

    New Jersey

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I find myself disliking individual players rather than teams.Ribero,Matt Cooke as examples,really its just what they bring to the game.

    I cheered for Montreal when they made that run a couple years ago.

     

    But the Sens....I was in a bar in Toronto where everyone was cheering for Anaheim in 2007. The hatred runs deep.

     

     

     

     

    Depends on the bar.Sometimes its best to go with the crowd and make it out alive biggrin.gif

    The playoffs are a completely different animal and toughness is the flavour of the day.Karlsson is an amazing player right now but come playoff time he might get eaten alive.The same can be said of the leafs Gunnerson.While not the same quality as Karlsson he is in the same boat when it comes to durability.

    They're just positioning themselves for their usual late season push...only they're starting in 9th instead of 12 this year thumbsup_anim.gif

     

     

     

     

     

    Ehhh 12th , 9th doesnt really matter.They get in great,if not it wont be a surprise. What I find humorous are the so called "other teams fans" who focus on the Leafs and where they sit in the standings.Oh or should I say Laffs, oh my that is quite clever.Their only true agenda is trying to agitate supporters of the Leafs with the standard mindless drivel.

    I mean seriously if you want to hold someone up as a shinning example of a great player I highly doubt anyone with hockey knowledge jumps at the name Alfredsson.There are no current Leafs on that list either as I did say seriously.The same can be said for a great team,Sens ...reeeaaalllyy.you want great and stands a chance at winning the cup look at detroit,vancouver,bruins etc.....

    i wasn't expecting to make the playoffs so i'm hardly planning a parade. i'm in year one of a rebuild and have been pleased by the results thus far. how many years into your rebuild are you? whistling.gif

     

    as far as team age goes, you are incorrect. the leafs and sens both ice young squads. 5th and 6th respectively.

    the difference is that the kids on our team are some of the best players, while the leafs rotate their youth in and out of the ahl.

     

    thanks to burke for taking kadri before murray could though. jared cowen is working out nicely with the big club. and boston thanks you for seguin and dougie hamilton. but don't worry, your farm system is doing just fine. sarcasm.gif

     

    You missed my point. What I was saying is others poke fun at leaf fans for planning the parade after a win yet here they are talking about their demise after just one loss,nothing more. As for age I think I am correct according to http://nhlnumbers.com/teams?sort=average_age&order=asc&year=2012 Oh and We thank Boston for Kessel,he is having a great year.Calling out Kadri is a bit premature dont cha think?? Kid might be a bust or superstar in a few years hard to tell.

    Ahh the ole I am in year one of rebuild agrgument...until you win the cup with said rebuild please dont try to brag.As the Leafs have nothing to brag about nor do the Sens.

    The Leafs rotate younger players in and out because they can afford to.Give them experience yet let them get their game in the "A".Regardless they obviously dont rotate ALL their youth or they would not have one of the youngest teams in the league.Ottawa keeps them up and keeps their farm team weak and in last place.So who has the better farm system??

     

    Dont get me wrong I know the Leafs have a looong way to go but they ARE headed in the right direction.I believe the sens are as well.Along with Vacouver they are our best shot at a cup in the future.

    And they laugh at Leaf fans for planning the so called parade after one win.whistling.gif Sure they stunk out the building,Phaneuf being one of the worst but its only one game.Never been a big Phaneuf fan and against the Habs he did his best rendition of Alfredsons effort against Buffalo.

     

    The farm "system" is just fine. As I recall they ice the 2nd or 3rd youngest team in the league while Ottawa is ranked 13th.The Marlies are tops of their division while Ottawa's farm team are bottom of theirs.

    Great lookin smallie for any lake!Looks like it has started the fall feed early.

     

    it was an open water fish over a large submerged flat rock surrounded by (like all things buckhorn) weeds. all fish came from 12-20 ft that week. nothing over 2.5lbs all week except for that guy. i find that the small panfish are everywhere but the smallies are on the edges of the rare rockpiles. got to find them!

     

    fishing was slower than normal there were 2 significant storms that week - water temps were lower that normal for late august and the water was dirtier than i've ever seen it.....
