Just one day after the loss of Montreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur, the team took the ice in the nation’s capital to face the Ottawa Senators. Though they tried to fight back from a 5-1 deficit, they fell short in a largely frustrating contest.
The Senators opened the game with a classy tribute to the departed legend, but his memory was not enough to propel the Tricolore to victory. Even if they pulled off an epic comeback, I’d likely have spent most of this podcast talking about the loss that outweighs any points in the standings.
