It's kind of interesting that the 2003-2004 Stanley Cup Champions only barely made it to the playoffs. I hope Ottawa shuts them right out of the playoffs. I'd like to see Tampa kicked out in Game 4 (Muahahaha).
I'm also happy to see two Alberta teams in the Western Conference.
But, as always
GO FLAMES GO.
