Looks like Ottawa has taken out the Buffalo Sabres and is heading for the cup. That’s 3 years in a row that a Canadian team has shown up in the finals and for that I am proud (Calgary in 03-04, Lockout 04-05, Edmonton 05-06)!

Ottawa has a good chance of taking it. In regular season play they were only separated by 5 points. History is definitely on the side of Ottawa as every NHL season that ended with a ‘7′ such as the 1956-57 season, has always been won by a Canadian team or the Detroit Redwings. Take a look for yourself if you don’t believe me: Wikipedia: List of Stanley Cup champions.
