I've spent lots of time in NY State at Akwesasne along the Canadian border. It's just south of Cornwall and the reserve is in Quebec/Ontario and New York State. You can easily walk across the road on the reserve and go from one country to another and back. No border controls. It's weird because that part of Canada is below the St. Lawrence Seaway and easy to access. Use Google Maps and zero in on that area and you can see how easy it is to cross back and forth. No one cares, since it's on a Native reserve.

Only after the US/Mexico border has the security posture of the 38th parallel.

to be honest, it's more about the poster than the post itself, in this case I haven't watched the whole video but he's posted about completely false information a bunch of times before, and it gets tiring on a hockey website lol.

anyhow the same guy who made the video also said America is one of the least racist places on earth, so I'd take everything he's saying with a grain of salt.

I’m biased, but I’d say Detroit.

My question for the group is about Ottawa. With the talent they have, why have they been so inconsistent? Maybe they are a different team with Linus in net.

- NC_Scott

The core talent is more than good enough to make the playoffs, but Pierre Dorion followed up the team's drafting success by making several of the worst trades and roster moves in franchise history. When they needed help at D/G they brought in a top-line scoring winger, who they immediately demoted to the 2nd line, which resulted in a -30 season and trading them away for pennies on the dollar. When they specifically needed a top-4 stay-at-home RHD, they brought in an offensive-minded LHD who they forced to play on the wrong side, which resulted in a -30 season and trading them away for pennies on the dollar. When they needed a steady veteran G, they overpaid for a UFA goaltender who'd never played a single game for them, which led to the worst statistical season of any starting G in the NHL last year.

Several media outlets noted last year that if the Senators had gotten even just average goaltending, they would have been in the wild card hunt. They've also had fewer than 40GP over the past 3 seasons where all of Stutzle, Norris, and Pinto have been in the lineup at the same time as the top-3C. Now factor in the disruption of a mid-season change to both the GM/coaching staff, and you're starting to get a taste of the bizarro world this team has been in recently. But as you noted, a page has been turned. Ullmark should make quite a difference in goal, and they've made numerous off-season moves to improve the defensive quality of the supporting roster. Personally, I think they'll pass BUF/DET this season, but they'll need to come out of the gate ready to prove a lot of people wrong.
