Senators Can't Hold On, Lose 3-2 to 'Canes
Mark Stone contemplates what went wrong - James Guillory-USA TODAY SportsNormally a 3-2 loss in overtime to Carolina, in November, for a team that's now 7-4-3, wouldn't be a cause for concern. If all you ever did was glance at the score line as it crossed your mobile browser of choice, you might not think twice about it. Frankly, if you didn't watch tonight's game you probably saved yourself some grief. The Sens escaped from Carolina with a single point, but were it not for Andrew Hammond this game would have been a laugher. When you get outshot 46-21, including 21-5 in the third period and overtime, it's going to be hard to take a lot of positives out of the game. And that's before accounting for the fact that the Senators somehow held the lead until there were less than five seconds remaining in the game. It's probably one of those games you just want to forget.
