I was eight years old the last time the Ottawa Senators made the Eastern Conference Finals.
I don’t remember the Devils loss in 2003. I don’t remember the Leafs loss in 2004 (not that I’m complaining). Even my memory of the 2007 Cup run is imperfect. There are so many moments that defined the Ottawa Senators as a franchise, moments that I hear about so often on Twitter and in the comments on this website that I feel as if I lived through them myself. But the truth is, I don’t remember very many of them.
