"I Love This Team" : post-mortem thread

[Qward]

I just checked and Pittsburgh is paying $17,759,500 more in actual salary this season than Ottawa did.

The thing about sports cars though is that once they break down they are expensive and difficult to fix.

It shows, not really a surprise since Ottawa is paying for a lot more rookie salaries.

Would have guessed maybe $10m, almost $18m is nuts.

We're like the Houston Astros, but with actual talent on the team.

So true. Was angry for a few days after games 2, 3, and 4...but an hour or two after game 5, it felt more like relief. Very stressful year for hockey, witht he lockout, injuries, stupid calls, unwarranted suspensions, etc.

Kinda glad it's over.

Now we can watch other teams battle without the huge emotional investment.


And to add, that article is yet another reason why I will never have respect for that franchise or its fan base. Seeing Boston ragdoll a few Penguins will be sweet.

Wait, so all the crap that Garrioch and Brennan write is somehow indicative of us and the organization?

Difference is, the majority of Pens fans buy that media hype and actually think this this, while the majority of Sens fans are thoroughly embarrassed by tweedle dee and tweedle dumb of the Sun.

It may have been a shortened season, but with all the injury stress it sure felt like a full season worth of stress

Also anyone else seen this? lol http://triblive.com/sports/dejankov...075504-74/cooke-client-karlsson#axzz2UJ9MbEU9

Ah, yes, it was the venerable Matt Cooke who vanquished the all-comical Ottawa Senators from the post-season in a most valiant effort that included an assist and a hit. Our woeful captain Daniel Alfredsson should learn a lesson about not-quitting by comparing his 2013 playoff highlights to the wrongfully accused Cooke's. Take, for example, Game 3 of Round 2, wherein the quitter Alfredsson gave up on the game, evidenced by his mere one last-minute-game-tying-shorthanded marker. In contrast, our illustrious hero, Matt Cooke, never gave up on a play, going so for as to completely misread a play in double overtime, exposing a passing lane for his check - Andrei Benoit - to exploit, ultimately resulting in the Senators game winning goal.

Agreed.

Knowing what a s**tshow our media is here in Ottawa, I can never judge another city's fans based on their press. Fans can't control that stuff.

The majority of fans on this message board, yes.

Don't underestimate the power of a dirt rag from swaying the opinion of casual fans, though. I assure you there are Sens fans out there that treat Garrioch & Brennan as Gospel, and there are more of them than you think.

Look, I understand you really hate Pittsburgh, but now you're just making things up. Besides a few individuals (as is the case for all fanbases), Pens fans were very respectable. Check out their Post-series thread. Compared to the Habs series, the past one was a love-affair.

I'm guessing HT Boards is the only hockey site you visit. Yes, Montreal fans acted like whiny little brats, but it's nothing compared to the ignorance I've seen across a few board with Pens fans. Looking at the TSN boards, the Sens Facebook page, the NHL site....just a ton of vile and stupidity spouted by the majority of Pens fans.
