Some thoughts on the season that was, what we left behind, and what lies ahead.
Sometimes you get the miracle you need.
When the Senators fell behind 3-0 in the team's best-of-seven first round series against the Montreal Canadiens it was disappointing. It's the type of deficit that's difficult to overcome and has only happened four times in NHL history. It's the type of hole that in the moment, most people around the game give you no chance of coming back from. It's a deficit that leaves players slumped on the bench, with long blank stares and fans changing long-held superstitions and just about everyone praying for a miracle.
