The all-but-done Senators could use a fluid injection that is available to them, and at this point, why not?
Penguins assistant coach Jacques Martin should remember this story well: In the spring of 2003, when the Martin-led Senators were in the Eastern Conference final against the New Jersey Devils, they lost Game 5 by a 5-2 score that pushed them to the brink of elimination.
Returning home down 3-1 in the series and in dire need of a spark, Martin finally relented to the public outcry by inserting a young centre he had previously considered a “boy” into his lineup of men.
