Ottawa Senators Fans

Fiind echipa mea preferata de hockey de ani buni am decis sa fac un thread dedicat lor.. sper ca e ok aceasta idee





The Ottawa Senators are a professional ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. They are members of the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Senators play their home games at the 20,500 capacity Scotiabank Place (originally named the 'Palladium', and later the 'Corel Centre').

Founded and established by Ottawa real estate developer Bruce Firestone, the team is the second NHL franchise to use the Ottawa Senators nickname. The original Ottawa Senators, founded in 1883, had a famed history, winning 11 Stanley Cups and playing in the NHL from 1917 until 1934. On December 6, 1990, after a two year public campaign by Firestone to return the NHL to Ottawa, the NHL awarded a new franchise, which began play in the 1992–93 season.The team has had two changes of ownership, from Firestone to Rod Bryden in 1993 due to the arena development process and its financing, and subsequently to Eugene Melnyk after the team filed for bankruptcy in 2003.

On the ice, the club finished last in the league for its first four seasons. Today, the club is among the most successful teams in the league in the standings, qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the past 11 seasons, and in attendance. The club won the Presidents' Trophy in 2003, and the Prince of Wales Trophy in 2007. The team has several all-star players and one of the league's top lines, the 'CASH' or 'Pizza' line of Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley.
