I want to stress something very important.
This is not meant to be an overly negative piece. I’m not here to beat you down with morose lamentations about the state of the Ottawa Senators franchise, and how all of our lives are a miserable, soul-crushing exercise in indifference. Truthfully, I don’t have many negative feelings about the organization this season.
The on-ice product has mostly been fun to watch, and the rebuild appears to be going well, so it’s hard to drum up the energy to be too mad about anything.
I also don’t want to dwell on the matter of attendance.
