Well, 2021 has come and gone and, frankly, I don’t think I’m alone in wishing it good riddance. It’s been a year of fan-less hockey games, postponements, protocols, messy rosters and more.
There have also been some fantastic things related to the Ottawa Senators, so it’s not all bad. We saw players like Drake Batherson and Josh Norris take big steps towards become top end NHL players. We had Brady Tkachuk named captain and promptly start on his best offensive season to date, despite missing training camp. We’ve seen prospects outside of the NHL perform really well while we await their arrival in the big leagues.
