It’s been a long month for the Ottawa Senators and their fans. Their last victory had been December 14th, a wild 8-2 win over the Florida Panthers. Then they lost to Tampa Bay 2-1 and Philadelphia 4-3 in overtime, then didn't play for 14 days. They lost 6-0 to Toronto on New Year’s Day and then went another 12 days between games until today. It’s been a weird experience because it seems like hockey isn’t even going on anymore, but it was great to sit down tonight and watch the Senators once again.
Despite all that time off, Ottawa actually came to play tonight.
