The Sens closed out the 2021 season the same way they opened it: with a win against the Leafs that I had the pleasure of recapping.
Leafs games just hit different, and after Sunday’s loss to the Flames, we were all itching for one final sicko to close out the season. This game may not have meant anything in the standings, but in our hearts? Oh, in our hearts it meant so much.
Parker Kelly was suiting up for his first NHL game, Sportsnet played a beautiful montage that made us all misty-eyed, and I’m going to leave the commentary about Sportsnet’s coverage of the game at that because I’m trying to stay positive.
