Maybe the Sens can actually generate some shot attempts on the Caps since they have a real defenseman on their blueline. It worked for the Pens last year with Letang.

He has writers who write those jokes, doesn't necessarily mean he believes them and also who cares? It's NYC. Celebrities show up. Margot Robbie is a huge fan and goes to lots of games.

You don't even have to watch the Sens to realize that latter point. Just watch the Penguins try to break the puck out without Letang.

All Canadian teams winning is unacceptable though because there will be endless fluff articles about how [x] team brought the cup "home". If the Pens can't do it I'd rather see Pk Subban riding through Montreal with it in a cowboy hat and with a cigar in his mouth.

Which is to say "culturally appropriating cowboy regalia and presenting a poor role model for our children with social tobacco use". He'll probably also be showing an unacceptable amount of exuberance by dancing.

They're the only other Canadian team I'd root for to do so before the Canucks. Plus they have Alex Burrows who I will love forever  I think you're seriously overestimating how little people think about Ottawa. Any other Canadian team sure, you'd see a ton of crazy whining from other Canadian team fans (the fact that Edmonton could legitimately do it this year makes me break out in a cold sweat). However, with Ottawa it would be like if the San Diego Padres went on a playoff run, because I mean who has any ill will towards the city of San Diego?

Teemu Pokemon posted:I mean, that's exactly what I'm saying though Okay, I see what you're getting at. Yes, of course there will be a bunch of stuff about 'bringing the cup home' if and when a Canadian team finally wins it. However, Ottawa is just about the most palatable choice for doing so because their fan base is the smallest in the country and the team and city are generally well regarded coast to coast. If Toronto or Montreal won it people would be up in arms and radio shows would be flooded with "NOT MAH TEAM" calls (sorta like how the country seemed to unite against the Canucks in 2011) but with Ottawa people will likely just shrug and say "well I guess that streak is over now."
