After a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning in which they spent the majority of the time on defence, the Ottawa Senators returned home to face the Vegas Golden Knights, determined to throw pucks at the net. No matter how much of their own defence they had to sacrifice in the process.
This strategy *almost* worked out, but they lost 5-4 in what was looking like the end of all of our collective sanity. Allow me to elaborate.
If there’s one player on the Ottawa Senators I feel bad for, it’s Thomas Chabot. The poor guy has been relied on to play north of 25 minutes a night, and you just know there’s a lot of wear and tear from having to carry his club.
