1903 - Ottawa Silver Seven defeat two different challengers.
1904 - Ottawa Silver Seven defeat four different challengers.
1905 - Ottawa Silver Seven defeat two different challengers.
1906 - Ottawa Silver Seven defeat two different challengers.
1909 - Ottawa Senators go unchallenged
1910 - Ottawa Senators defeat two different challengers.
1911- Ottawa Senators defeat two different challengers.
1920 - Ottawa Senators defeat the Seattle Metropolitans in two separate series.
1921 - Ottawa Senators defeat the Vancouver Millionaires in two separate series.
1923 - Ottawa Senators defeat two different challengers.
1927 - Ottawa Senators defeat the Boston Bruins.
In total, nine Stanley Cups. More than Boston. More than Chicago. More than New York. More than anybody except Montréal (24), Toronto (13), and Detroit (10). For the Leafs fans, it's now been 39 years since they won the Cup. 40 years before that was the last time Ottawa won, but Ottawa's only been in the league for 22 of the last 80 years. Hmmm.
Also, just in case anybody wants to claim that the old Ottawa team and the new Ottawa team can't be combined: why not? Your favourite team no longer has the same coach, players, GM, owner, arena, ice, skates, technology, broadcasting network, fans, and sometimes even city that it had when it began. How is this different?
1934-1992 - Ottawa had no NHL team.
1992-1996 - didn't make playoffs
1997 - lost in first round to Buffalo
1998 - lost in second round to Washington
1999 - lost in first round to Buffalo
2000 - lost in first round to Toronto
2001 - lost in first round to Toronto
2002 - lost in second round to Toronto
2003 - lost in third round to New Jersey
2004 - lost in first round to Toronto
2005 - no NHL season
2006 - so far, have beaten 2004 Stanley Cup champs Tampa Bay in first round.
Please keep your fingers crossed.
Da da da-da-daaaaaah!
Nov. 26th, 2005 07:44 amThat's supposed to be the Senators' theme. Anybody who's attended a home game in Ottawa knows the music.
UNIONDALE, New York - The star players performed. The depth players took on new roles. The minor league callups delivered. too.Woooooo!
Add it all up and the Ottawa Senators yesterday fashioned what coach Bryan Murray described as perhaps their best team game of the season, a tidy 6-2 victory against the New York Islanders.
That's saying something.
The victory improved the Senators record to 17 wins and three losses, giving the club the most points by an NHL team after 20 games since the Philadelphia Flyers began the 1979-80 season with a mark of 16 wins, one loss and three ties.
In NHL history, only two other teams have started better than these Senators: the 1929-30 Boston Bruins (18-2-0) and the 1925-26 Ottawa Senators (17-2-1). (Story)
Ottawa 8, Toronto 0!
