From Daniel Alfredsson’s magical retirement ceremony to the team’s recent three-game losing streak to the performance of the team’s prospects at the World Junior Championships, it was quite the up and down week for Senators fans.
As a franchise that takes its share of grief from fans who bemoan the organization’s penchant for their disregard or tradition or for bungling what should be relatively easy marketing or PR decisions, no one can knock the way the Senators do ceremonies.
Once again, they killed it with their pre-game ceremony that not only honoured Alfredsson but it also carried the distinction of having Alfie be the first modern day player to have his number retired by the organization.
