When I look back at 2007 in about 30 years my biggest memory will most likely be the Senators Stanley Cup run. Not for the play of Daniel Alfredsson and company who stepped up their game, but for the way it captured the hearts of Sens fans from one end of the region to another. Now it wasn't the fairy tale ending we had hoped for, but for a few weeks this city finally broke the stereotype that the "boring government town" couldn't rise up to the challenge. If you experienced Sens mile, sat around a tv in your garage with neighbors or were one of the lucky ones who had tickets for games 3 and 4, you'll be able to share those memories for years to come. In a true and perfect world the Sens will make their way back to the finals this season (regardless which goaltender gets it done) and win it all. I can picture the interview with Ron Mclean and Alfie minutes after the win, something along the lines of "Daniel, you came so close last year and have spent your entire career as a Senator, can you describe what this must mean to you"....
Ahhh, dare to dream.
All the best in 2008. Well have even more Sens tickets to win every morning on TGOR. Hopefully that will be until June.
