Sandwiched between two historic franchises that are never shy when it comes to pounding their chests with pride, Tom Anselmi feels there are plenty of legitimate reasons for the Senators, their fans and the city of Ottawa to step forward and do the same.
Anselmi, of course, spent 17 years with Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment - the majority of them amid the big-money chaos of Bay St.
As such, when Anselmi took over as president of the Sens five months ago, he immediately noticed a different vibe his new city had towards its own National Hockey League team.
