I was in grade seven when that happened. This year I'm graduating from uOttawa.
It's been a long time, but I can still clearly remember that goal and much of what followed. I clearly recall going outside my house, in the middle of suburban Barrhaven, and hearing nothing but car horns blaring.
I'll be honest, just being out and about in the community, I think this year is the first time since the cup run that I've seen so much excitement about the team. I'm seeing so many people rocking the Sens that it's become noticeable. A lot of people are really excited about this team again after so many years of struggling. No matter how this ends, I think the run this year has gone a long way to capturing some of that excitement for the Sens that we've seen wane in recent years.
