Two wins might not amount to much over an 82-game schedule but you wouldn’t know it around these parts. And rightfully so!

A lot will change between now and April but if nothing else, a winning record feels possible (and dare I say probable?!). Anyways, I don’t need to tell you all of this. You’ve lived it too. So as we bask in the reprieve of a possible ending to five years of dread, let’s look back at some of Ottawa’s other successful home openers.
