I may live in NYC. I may be moving to Ottawa. But I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And let me tell you, I am as big a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins as there is.

After 5 LONG, LEAN years of watching a losing team… No, the worst team in the league year after year, the Penguins are considered a favorite to go deep into the playoffs.

And that path is straight through Ottawa, soon my new home. Straight through the team that bounced them in 5 last year.

So be it. Down with the Sens Army. Down with the red mile. Down with Ottawa.

I will say that during the 5 lean Penguin years, the Sens were always the team that I rooted for in the playoffs. I actually saw them play NJ in the 2003 conference finals. So I already consider myself a Senators fan.  And let me tell you, the Ottawa fans on the bus back to the city were a blast.

Right after the Penguins beat them in 5.
