Okay, so I’m being bugged by some non-Senator fans about why I haven’t commented on the end of the season. My predictions were wrong. The team couldn’t do it.
Oh well. Remember folks, it’s only hockey. Life goes on. It doesn’t hurt that the day after the season ends, it’s 22 degrees Celsius here! Who worries about hockey on such a perfect riding day???
It is a season we will all hope to forget soon. There will be changes. Redden will not be back. Nor will Emery. Who knows who else has played their final game with the team? My guess is that they keep most of the core. Remember, it was just one year ago that they were playing in the Final. This team is simply not as bad as they played.
The Ottawa Sun has a few good articles in it. This one talks a lot about what went wrong. To be honest, I don’t listen or read much of the negativity. I just don’t have time to get caught up in a bunch of emotional people yelling for them to trade everyone — Spezza, Heately, etc. If some had their way, the only guys who would still have a job next season would be Alfie, Fisher and Volchenkov.
Take a deep breath folks. The sun rose this morning. And, let’s be honest … we are still better than the Leafs.
