We knew it was going to be ugly, so in a way, tonight’s game wasn’t a surprise at all. The defending Cup champions were going to walk all over a team whose top goal scorer was 18 years old. The fans who did bother to turn in were hoping for maybe some entertainment, and there was some, at least early on. But in the end, the inevitable happened, and the Senators fell 7-2 to the vastly superior Capitals.
It actually started off very well. The Sens got on the board first thanks to some stellar play by some new faces.
