Who is your favourite Senator?

For the longest time my favourite has been Volchenkov, but I'm liking Foligno more and more each day.

In terms of the whole fan-base, in terms of # of friends in the city, or in terms of on this site/more hard-core fans?

I still think Alfredsson is #1, with good reason, and especially among the younger fan-base, Heatley and Spezza are pretty popular, even if some would warrant that they don't deserve that.

Personally, my favourite Sen currently is Alfie, the player I have the most hope for is Spezza, and my favourite prospect is Karlsson, followed by Regin.

the question is who is your favourite senator.

Damn you sir. :D: I voted Shannon, but that's BS. Alfie, Spezza, Heatley all rank up there on a good day. Foligno and A-Train as well.

Just...can't help loving Shannon though. His tenacity makes him unbelievably likeable.

I like shannon too, he reminds me of a younger St. Louis (with alot less skill)

St. Louis is over-rated. Where would he be without Vinnie.

Alfie, hands down. Anyone who votes otherwise is limiting their thinking to the past few months.

St. Louis has always been a good player. Where was Vinny when he broke Vermont's records for points and assists?

And I've never thought Alfie was as great as you guys make him out to be.

Breaking records in the minors is not the same. Smaller guys don't have as much to fight through as they do in the NHL.

As for the Alfie comment, Blasphemy!

:^^^^: I like Alfie and all, but ya.

St. Louis may be one of the most talented players in the NHL, certainly inch for inch.

Me too. He works out with him in the summer I just found out.

I don't see this poll can have anything but an overwhelming majority for Alfie. This would be a better question when this team is post-Alfie.

Couldn't have picked a better mentor. Now if only they could get Mats Naslund and Dave Keon, he'd have the best training available.

Now if only the Hansons would mentor Bass

I gotta say... one of my favourite Senators was Bryan Smolinski. I just loved the way he played, and the elbow to Domi.

Heh heh.

Not sure if I have a "favourite" Senator these days... this year has seen such bad performances I almost feel like starting over again with these guys.

You know, I never knew (or had forgotten) that only one of them (the one sitting furthest away) is a Hanson. The other two are brothers, but not named Hanson.

Man, I miss that movie, but there's now way I'll ever be able to watch it again until the kids are all gone. Should be another 12-15 years
