Stanley Cup Finals

So living in Ottawa I'm in the middle of the Stanley Cup craziness (Well gloom right now with the Sens down 3-1). It's quite interesting to see the path the Sens have taken. It's been a fairly easy road for them. I think their toughest opponent outside of Anaheim has been the Penguins.

I think that the Pens playing Ottawa was probably the best thing for them, it gave them a taste of what Playoff hockey was really about, playing against a great offensive team showed the Pens the determination it takes to play on that big of a stage. Yeah it would have been nice to see them win a bit more against Ottawa or even take the series but getting beaten like that will only strengthen the team for next year.

If Pittsburgh can bring in a stay at home defenseman who has some playoff experience and can shutdown top lines then they have a great shot next year.

Captain Crosby

Well the time has finally come for Crosby to wear the C. I've talked with a lot of people and most seem to think he's to young. Myself, I say he is perfect. Age is only a number like Crosby said. Crosby is one of the most mature 19 year olds I have ever seen. He has all the talent and makings of a great player and Captain.

He has had some great influences as well. Recchi, Roberts, and the biggest of all Mario. All classy guys who give their 110% to their team. I see crosby leading like Yzerman. Very classy, step it up and sacrifice everything.

Crosby has the best mix of talent I have ever seen combined with a level head. He will go down as one of the greatest players and leaders of all-time when his career is over.
