BROSSARD – In today’s playoff notebook, Dale Weise talks confidence, Sergei Gonchar reflects on his time with the Sens, and a pair of young defensemen open up about playoff hockey.
A question of confidence: There’s no denying just how good the Ottawa Senators played during the final two months of the regular season. Dave Cameron’s contingent was an astounding 14 points out of a playoff spot back on February 10, but rattled off a 23-4-4 record in its final 31 games to become the first team in League history to be that far out of playoff contention at any point during the year and still clinch a postseason berth.
