Ottawa saved their season last night, and a win next game in Montreal could make this series quite interesting. It’s still 3-1, but I don’t feel as if it’s over just yet. Anyway, I feel like an undiscussed topic is the amount of money the Senators are wasting on bottom six forwards and scratches. The team finally realized many of these players aren’t needed, and later in the season they were put in the press box during the games.
However, that doesn’t mean their presence isn’t felt. By that, I mean their presence in Ottawa’s check book. Yesterday night Ottawa’s scratches were Alex Chiasson, Jared Cowen, Colin Greening, David Legwand, Chris Phillips, and a host of AHL call-ups that don’t count towards the cap.
