Ottawa, quite frankly, is a monstrous pain in the ass of the Boston Bruins lately.
Ottawa got off to a rip-roaring start at the beginning of this season and made a lot of people nervous about Boston’s chances of getting into the playoffs or at the very least having a spot closer to the top of the Atlantic Division, where they so rightly deserve to belong. They’re not exactly Canada’s best team (if one can even say Canada has a truly good one at this point), and the fancy numbers and general play of the Sens gave the impression they’re pretty fun but ultimately beatable.
