I’m glad that this wasn’t a playoff game because if it was, I’d be bitter. Ups-and-downs, shady penalty calls, a botched late-game powerplay, and a weak goal means that the game — and the Atlantic Division lead — was well in sight for the Ottawa Senators tonight. However, it just wasn’t meant to be.
Tonight had many of the key ingredients that we’ve come to expect from a Habs - Sens matchup. The first sign? A high-pace.
The scoreless first period was due to the efforts of Carey Price and Craig Anderson, not because there was a shortage of chances.
