Second of a three part series covering the B-Sens' Calder Cup run, this time the Eastern Conference Finals vs the Charlotte Checkers
In the first two rounds of the 2011 playoffs, you can say the Checkers did the Senators a favor, as they went out and did the dirty work by defeating the Hershey Bears first, then the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in Round 2 by winning both rounds in six. Mission accomplished, and thank you Charlotte.
The Sens ended up fifth in the East Division, although the powerful division represented five teams vs three teams for the Atlantic Division, Charlotte finished in third place (44-27-2-7) in their inaugural season.
