Meh, we all knew with that young defence and questionable goaltending that when the Senators were going to lose big at times this year.
Fun for the Sabres fans at home, so good for them.
Yeah, no doubt the Sens has a bad day today.
But they looked really good against Buffalo on Thursday. Ottawa kicked their ass pretty badly the first 2 periods of that game. Ottawa came out flying. They worked their butt off and won just about every puck battle those first 2 periods.
For whatever reason today They just looked like they weren’t fully engaged in the game.
I don’t think it helped that buffalo got those 2 quick goals to start the game. Things just kind of seemed to snowball after that and the game got away from Ottawa.
That’s kind of what happened to buffalo on Thursday. They took all those penalties to start the game. Ottawa jumped ahead and things started to get away from buffalo. They did make a nice push in the 3rd but it was too little too late and the Sens held on to win.
Definitely can’t write Ottawa off after 1 bad loss though. They’ve been playing some good hockey so far this year.
Good luck this season. I’ll be rooting for you guys when you’re not playing us.
I’d love to see another Ottawa/Sabres playoff series one of these days (or I should say years...). A conference final rematch would be great!
