This game could have marked a huge milestone in the Sens’ existence as a franchise.
Right before puck drop, TSN1200 tweeted out an announcement that shook the entire foundation of this fanbase:
Yes, after 29 games of truly horrendous play that dragged down absolutely everyone around him, it looked like the legendary Tom Pyatt was finally going to sit out a game.
He didn’t sit out the game.
Maybe Boucher had a change of heart, or maybe he has some really great blackmail material on the guy, but whatever the reason, the coach decided to scratch Christian Jaros in his stead.
