Kyle & Ebert (Siskel is Dead)

And Roeper doesn't like hockey... with that here are my thumbs up/down:

-----

To begin, Ottawa failed to win the Stanley and that I give a THUMBS DOWN!

-----

So they lost, but that's alright, Anaheim was clearly the better team in this series. Besides it means now we get to look forward to next year and a whole new exciting season of hockey. Congrats obviously firstly to the Ducks for their great play, and secondly to Chris Phillips and for at least generating SOME kind of offence for Ottawa. I'll give that the two SARCASTIC THUMBS UP!

-----

But all is not lost, as in every day that brings disappointment some positive light can be seen, and yesterday was no different.

So the Islanders clearly thought Yashin was a better investment off the ice at 2 million dollars, rather than on the ice at 6. For any die hard Sens fan this has to be good news (even though Yashin can now just go sign with another club for a reduced... let's say 4 million a season, and will still be raking in 6 million.)

Either way it's a slap in the face Alexi Yashin and to that I give a THUMBS UP!

-----

I lost a hockey pool at work. If Anaheim had scored the winning goal during the 17th minute or the 7th minute of any period I would have won... however it came in the 15th minute and thus there goes my $2. Poo. I give that a THUMBS DOWN!

-----

Finally, with the off season now here the attention will turn to wheelin' and dealin' as everyone tries to make their team better for next year. Ottawa only has 3 big names on the Unrestricted Free Agent market, Comrie, McAmmond & Preissing. With the cap going up Muckler has a little room to play around. (Maybe he can ditch Gerber)... but all in all i wouldn't expect that many changes... first of all because it's Muckler and that's not how he rolls, but secondly because let's remember, this team did make it to the Stanley Cup finals. Therefore I forsee a few modifications, but not much change, and to that I give a THUMBS UP!
