Yah, I meant that. Sorry if it confused other users. But breaking that "core" to me was the beginning of the rebuild, which was 2009 or 2010...so I'm not THAT far off.
And don't forget Emery. Maybe it's only me, but Emery's off-ice attitude was probably the beginning of the team going the wrong way.
It was pretty painful to see a team that had 3 players (Alfie, Spezza, Heatley...but I think one of them got injured) and the head coach being nominated for the all-star game, and completely fell apart after that.
Contending teams get worse, that's not something that is special to the Sens.
