Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Montreal Canadiens badly outplayed the Ottawa Senators en route to a 5-2 victory. These three games in the last two weeks vs. the Habs are like a dystopian version of Groundhog Day, where I’m trapped watching the same shellacking over and over again.
The broad points are well-known by now: the Sens hang tough in the first period, and the game seems within reach (if not winnable!) at the end of the second but Montreal completely trounces our local heroes in the third and walk away with a relatively easy victory when it’s all said and done.
