There is no joy in Sens-ville update

The Anaheim Ducks won their first Stanley Cup earlier tonight, and from my perspective it was bittersweet.

On one hand I'm saddened the Senators lost (I've been mocked for the past two weeks at work after I was caught by CBC cameras shouting 'Go Sens Go' at a downtown rally, my protestations that I was actually yelling 'Go Jets Go' fell on deaf ears).

On the other hand, it was great to see Teemu Selanne lift that big mug. It's also great to see Oiler fans struggle to comprehend the result. On a personal note, no game on Saturday means I get the night off, which is also a bonus.

More importantly of course, the champagne corks were being popping in Dryden, Ont. shortly after the final whistle. The pride of Northwestern Ontario, Neil McKinnon, is this year's Sons of Manitoba team side champion. I tip my hat to you sir.

1) Neil McKinnon 71 Two champions from Dryden in one night
2) Ryan Plesko 64 The silver medalist, or the first loser. You decide
3) Terry James 60 Your best ever finish, congratulations
4) Kim Landon 56 Still better than most sports insiders
5) Colleen Racine 51 Tops among Carleton employees

13) Mike McGuire 42 Edged out Janet for dreaded No. 13
14) Janet Chapman 38 I confess, I joined Facebook
15) Jason Anthony 37 Second among 1st Dundas alumni
15) Jordan Stein 37 If only the Canucks had snared Niedermayer
17) Ali Hewitt 36 Speaking of the Cranbrook boys, why did Rob suck as a Flame?
18) Debb Coghlin 35 Out of the top 50 per cent
18) James Peters 35 Tops among Sons of Manitoba organizers
20) Sean Hutchinson 34 And this is where the standings are static
21) James Gordon 34 It will be quiet flight home for the Sens

31) Jeff Sandelli 26 Second among people from Dryden
33) Peter James 22 It's official. I've reached a Brand New Low

10) Julianna Nowaczek 45 Here's hoping the Sens turn it around, eh
11) Arthur Casement 44 You must be counting down the days 'til the NHL draft
