No Stanley Cup For Sens

Why do I think the Senators won't win the Stanley Cup? Two reasons: Because I'm one superstitious son of a bitch when it comes to hockey and because Daniel Alfredsson touched the Prince of Wales Trophy. Dude, not cool.



I could be full of shit, but I remember hearing Dave Andreychuk say something about not touching the trophy after the Lightning beat the Flyers in Game 7 of the Eastern Finals of '04. Something about not wanting to, uh — jinx the Stanley Cup! It makes sense but then right there in NHL.com's Frozen Moment stands the fearless leader of the Ottawa Senators with his grubby little paws all over the thing. Why oh why, Danny?

And that's why I think the Senators won't win the 2007 Stanley Cup.
