Saturday was an exciting day for Ottawa Sens fans.  The Ottawa Senators won the Eastern Conference in the NHL. I watched the game over at my cousins place. We had a barbeque after the game. I had heard that they were planning to close off Elgin street if the Sens won.  Everyone in the house was screaming and cheering. I had lost my voice last Thursday and I couldn't really scream...lol...my voice is still gone. Anyway we had a blast.
