We are at a point in the season where the players are playing for pride. The Senators came into the night technically alive in the playoff race, but with six games to go everybody knows it is not going to happen. But the games still have to be played, and I think as fans it is in our contract that we have to watch every game until the season is over.
Despite having nothing to play for, the Senators came out blazing. The Jets themselves have even less to play for, so perhaps a quick start was predictable.
