Thanks – but I’m pretty sure you’ll find it difficult in landing a single member of Leaf Nation willing to jump on the bandwagon!
Look up “loyalty” in the dictionary and you’ll see the Blue and White.

Wow, Leaf fans really are SENSative! I mean man its been only 40 years...feels like it was just yesterday that Ballard ran that team into the ground (memories....) but I digress...<br/><br/>What did strike me about the whole 40 years ago thing was that it was May 2nd when the playoffs finished back then and not the beginning of Summer like it is now. Of course there are more teams now than the original six and the owners are gready so they want a best of seven series which contributes to the late champion crowning. Why not start the season earlier or make the first round a best of 5....just a thought! If it gets any later we might as well call it field hockey and replace the ice for grass...no not the smoking kind! <br/><br/>Back to Sens fans...yes, some Sens fans can be fickle and yes they do jump off the bandwagon at the slightest bout of anxiety (not I as you can attest to John). I have always supported my team through thick and thin (like last October/November and all of the too shortened playoff runs....can 5 and out be considered a run!). <br/><br/>For all you Leafies out there...join and cheer for the only Canadian team that has a realistic shot at the cup this year (sorry Canuck fans you are toast). I am sure we can find plenty of room on the 'ole Sens bandwagon for you all...<br/><br/>GO SENS GO!!<br/><br/>Marc Sigh, John, all I said was that I heard on the radio that it was the 40th anniversary of when the Leafs last won the cup and I get this diatribe!!

Ottawa sports fans are not exactly the most loyal - and that is being kind.<br/><br/>We have a AAA baseball team (the Lynx) who, in a great facility and in a great location (unlike Scotiabank Place) regularly draw only about 20% of its capacity. It's the best deal in town by far but no one cares. ‘Tis true. Ottawa sports fans are not exactly the most loyal – and that is being kind.
