5 years ago today...

That day was the absolute perfect outcome. Best out of town scoreboard since we snuck into the playoffs with paulrus.

Yes, that name (Peca) stood out to me. I couldn’t remember a Peca playing for us, and the only one I could think of was the Peca who played for the Islanders. Maybe we are both thinking about Daddie Peca - idk?

I remember Mike Peca more as a Sabre during our playoff rivalries in the late 90s early 2000s.

After some thorough investigation (i.e., one google search), I found that the Peca who played for us is a certain Matthew Peca. (<- there's a link here, it's just not highlighted)

You just triggered some serious PTSD in me. Early COVID days were terrifying.

I haven't felt that scared about the future of humanity since this morning.

Jesus. Dorion was such a disaster

Nah that lineup was a blessing, we needed to completely bottom out for good draft picks.

lol I said "Wish we had a Tank commander like Due Doughty" and posted this image

Ugh if only Peterka was there.

I think I'd start a poll on the main boards... Best draft in history?

Nah that lineup was a blessing, we needed to completely bottom out for good draft picks.

His 2020-21 line-up was almost just as bad but I don't think he was trying to tank... I mean, we wouldn't have reached for Tyler Boucher if we were... That's the scary part about Dorion.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

5 years ago today, the Sens played their last game of the regular season before the league shut down due to COVID. IIRC the Sens played the LA Kings, in what was an important tank game. The GDT was epic (looked for it but couldn't find it. Help!) and the Sens came through! Lottery odds were affected, and even though the Sens ended up only picking 5OA with their pick, the pick they had from San Jose ended up #3OA, and the rest is a historic draft outcome that is majorly affecting the team as it is today.

What a terrible time ensued.
