My favourite Senators experience is (most likely) when we beat them down in the playoffs many years ago.
Beautiful day with lots of tailgating - even the security staff were cool and would just remind us to put our drinks in plastic cups - then into the arena, leading to one of the most embarrassing losses in the Habs storied history.
Smoked on the scoreboard, pummeled in a 5v5 brawl and the glorious emergence of, "PageauUUUUU!! Pageau! Pageau! PageaUUUUU"
To this day I stand by the fact my buddies and I started that chant.
TampaWho do we want tomorrow... Detroit or Tampa?
Of courseTampa
pts% wise they are already ahead of usOf course
So watch them lose vs Detroit so the Red Wings can leapfrog us
Yuppts% wise they are already ahead of us
Things are crazy tight and the Sens are playing with a very depleted lineup against tough, seasoned teams that have better , deeper rosters.Yup
At least Columbus cannot steal our 2nd wildcard spot until the 4N break
for once?Tampa took a terrible time to float and Detroit took the worst time to actually outplay their opponents for once.
Most of those games they got outplayed though. On the other spectrum, even during Tampa's slump they were outplaying most opponents.for once?
The Red Wings have gone 15-3-1, leading the League with an .816 points percentage since the coaching change ... that's best in the NHL
