OT: Official Application to become a parttime Sens fan

[PullHard]

So, I am (and always will be) a Wings fan. But I also have developed a soft spot for the Sens. Despite our teams likely becoming division rivals next season, I wanted to join in on the fun over here. I've seen some real beauties like danishhh (right amount of h's?) and Bonktastic around HF, so I get the feeling this is a good board to be on.

I will list my "credentials" for being a Sens fan.

-Sens have been my 2nd team since roughly the 2004-2005 lockout. (Just generally liked them before this point in time, but then had some family move to Stittsville and started visiting and attending games).
-Despite growing up 30 minutes north of Toronto, have been to more Sens games than any other NHL team (roughly 30-40 games over the last ~5 seasons).
-Was at the 2008 NHL Entry Draft at SBP.
-Was at the entire 2009 WJC at SBP.
-Was at Game 3 (Sens win) of 2006-2007 SCF at SBP.
-Obviously root for MacLean (former Wings coach).
-Swede similarities.
-Grew up hating on Leafs, as nearly my entire social circle was made up of obnoxious adolescent Leafs fans. (Am now indifferent to them).
-Currently attending Carleton and have spent the last couple of years living in Ottawa. (Home in GTA for the summer).

I think that's it. Will you guys accept a future enemy onto your board?

All I read was...blah, blah, blah, blah..."Grew up hating on Leafs".

You're a Gold Member Sens fan.

I'm actually headed to Ottawa on Friday. Don't know if I will be there at 2, though, as I don't finish work til 5. How does midnight sound?

All I read was...blah, blah, blah, blah..."Grew up hating on Leafs".

You're a Gold Member Sens fan.

Impressive resume. Are you sure you're only looking for a part-time placement?

 

[SanderSen]

Paul Maclean connection - Wing fans get preferred rates!

 

[Emerica]

Welcome brethren.

I don't think I can commit to full time status, I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

A fitting emoticon that somehow escaped us. We need to use this more.

I was wondering, does Babcock ever use his timeouts?

 

[costermonger]

It was understandable as soon as I saw "Wings fan."

From this day forward, we shall never forget the walrus smiley, and use it in Paul MacLean related talks.

edit: No. That would require him to stop scowling. And we all know that isn't going to happen.

There are quite a few parallels and connections, aren't there? Good teams, imo.

Whoever advances will be Sweden's team

Well, I was a huge 'Wings fan as a wee tot until we got the Sens here in Ottawa when I was 10 (Red Wings are still my #2 team), AND you hate the Leafs, so I see no reason why we didn't just become best friends.

Welcome! I'll be rooting for you guys vs the Hawks. Us #7 seeds need to stick together.

Hi there!

Forget the WHC Swedish team, it is Wings/Sens or bust.

BonkTastic - noted new best friend. See you at Big Rig Brew Pub this weekend?

I wish. I'm in Indonesia for the next ~2+years. Nothing like watching playoff hockey at 6AM, streamed online, with a sub-1mbps internet connection!

I'll be there in spirit, though?

 

[PatrickEaves]

Hey no fair. I've never been to a Sens game live, and I'm a full time Sens fan.

I will be waiting at Mac-Cartier with a piece of cardboard that says "BonkTastic" on it when you arrive.

Hey no fair. I've never been to a Sens game live, and I'm a full time Sens fan.

Make the trip, we will go together.

Same. Stupid Toronto ticket prices. Closest I've been so far was the all-star game a couple years ago when Karlsson was our only player.

Will you take me out to dinner after before you bring me home?

Yeah we can either go to Big Rig or we could go over to St. Hubert and give you a taste of bilingual Canada.
