Thursday’s game sparked quite a bit of discussion regarding whether or not the Ottawa Senators’ rebuild is headed in anything resembling the right direction.
After all, they were completely hopeless against the Florida Panthers, an elite team with no glaring weaknesses, and one which could be considered the gold standard for the end result of a successful rebuild. If not for Anton Forsberg, the Senators would have lost that game by at least six goals.
You know, just like the Panthers did the last time they played Ottawa.
How quickly we forget.
