Now, Where Were We? CANADA; SENATORS

(WE HAVE SEEN IT A MILLION TIMES…BUT IT NEVER GETS OLD)

Oh yes, Canada wins gold in one hell of a hockey game. It was an interesting game from the get go, and we are still proudly boasting the big goal scored by Sidney Crosby in overtime. Some would say that the goal was the goal of our time, as the Paul Henderson goal was the goal of the last generations time. (My Dad don’t seem to think so as he said “that goal that henderson ended a war”, sure dad!) Point being, in the end, Canada won not only the most golds as a host nation in the winter games, but also the most gold ever won by any nation in the winter olympics. Good job Canada, we certainly did own that podium. Lookout Russia, here we come! (2014)

Previously, collegue John King had blogged about NHLers and how Gary Bettman doesn’t want his players participating in the 2014 games, is this legitimate? Mr. King indirectly said hell no, but right now some sens fans may have a different opinion. Going into the break we were on a role winning 14 of 16 games, and were showing no signs of slowing down …. then came this Vancouver 2010 Olympic break … One of bettmans many arguements is that its not fair to a team that is on a streak to have to go on a break, and right now for the Ottawa Senators, they couldn’t agree anymore.

Since the return off the break, the Senators have been nothing short of terrible. They lost to the Rangers, the (28th) Hurricanes, the (29th) Leafs, and this now has them setting 0-2-1 since returning to the action. Their next game is against the Oilers who are in dead last.

I will give credit where credit is due however, as the Senators did a good job stretching the game into Overtime last night. They were sick, very sick, this in a literal sense. Today was “season ticket appreciation day”, but it had to be postponed. This shows just how sick 1/2 the Senators roster really is.

Hopefully we can get back to our perfect 100% healthy selves, and start stringing together some wins in this final stretch.

Fans, we only have 5 home games left, and 11 road games so its time to start rallying up some points in this crucial push!

NEXT GAME: Ottawa Senators @ Edmonton Oilers -> 9:30pm/ET (10:30 AT) -> Only on Sportsnet East!

GO CANADA GO …. GO SENS GO!!!

why canada won

The reason canada won comes down to the size of the ice. If the olympics had not been played in a NHL rink team canada would have looked differnet. Guys like seabrook, Morrow, and Richards would have been left at home during the olympics. Steve Y new that it was going to be a “small” ice service; so the team was built to wim on that sized ice. Every other contrie built there team with the most skilled players they had, not canada. They had mixture off talent and toughness that no other team had. Which is the reason they wom the gold. Canada stepped on the ice and out hit every team theey played. They played that canadien style hockey that most people don’t like anymore ( personalie I love it). After the USA loss canada started playing like a canadien styled team. Noone could handle their physical play. So after all these years Canadien hockey is still the best.
