I was really hoping the Washington Capitals were going to win their second-round series. I thought the Senators would line up better against them the Penguins, but it ran deeper than that. At this point, the Sidney Crosby Pens are starting to hit the level of the early-2000s Mats Sundin-led Maple Leafs. After the Sens beat them in 2007, they’ve kicked Ottawa out of the playoffs in 2008, 2010, and 2013. I wasn’t looking forward to yet another time facing them. I figured my psyche could handle a second all-time loss to the Caps, but I wasn’t so sure about the Pens.
Game 5 loss just a small setback for Ottawa Senators
