If there’s anything that keeps sports fans sane while their team is in the midst of a brutal stretch, it’s the hope that things can get better relatively quickly. There’s always hope that the next season will be better, and that’s no different for the Ottawa Senators.
I’m not going to lie, I obviously could have come up with a much longer list of things that went wrong in 2017-18, but I think it’s important to point out some of the positives that came from this season. This may not be as encouraging as previous seasons, but there are at least some reasons to be optimistic moving forward.
