Wow, so much Sens news! Did the season start early or something? Crazy.
I guess I’d better jump right in and get down to business.
I was busy when the awards were being
announced but my mother came down to let me know Karlsson had won the Norris
Trophy (did I mention he’s my favourite player?). Neither of us were actually expecting him to
win it, to be quite honest, but I am very excited that he did. It really has been one crazy year for him and
about to get even crazier since he’s off to get married now (at least he
probably won’t be traded on his wedding day, unlike Jordan Staal).
Even more exciting though really was
Alfredsson’s win for the King Clancy. As
I mentioned before, I will be sad if Alfie retires without a Cup under his belt
(though let’s face it, the chances of him sticking around AND the Senators
winning aren’t particularly great) but the more honours he gets, the better I
would feel. Plus he really just means so
much to Ottawa and it’s great to see that acknowledged.
Finally, we’ve got the Draft to talk
about. Despite missing the awards I did
actually watch some of this on TSN.
Trust me, it was riveting.
Okay, maybe not but there were some
interesting parts to it as you try and figure out a team’s strategy (or maybe
just try and figure out if the Flames were the smartest team or the
dumbest). For the Sens, the biggest news
is, of course, the first round pick of Cody Ceci. I am a bit of a lapsed 67s Fan but it is very
exciting to see someone who grew up in Ottawa play here for the OHL and the
NHL.
The team picked up 6 other players and
I’m excited for all of them to come on board, in particular our new goalie
since I’ve always been partial to them when I’m not paying attention to Karlsson
(I used to play nets myself). Hopefully
the team is on the path to doing a bit better in the coming years than in the
last ones, since it wasn’t so long ago when we were at the top of the
West.
Though as long as we’re better than
the Leafs I won’t be too upset.
