If we are being honest with ourselves, we all knew how this year was going to go for the Ottawa Senators: they are going to lose a lot of games, and sometimes they’re going to look bad doing so. Still, when a new season is upon us it can be hard to not get caught up in the excitement and the optimism. With the team now 2-7-1 after 10 games, 27th in goals for, 25th in goals against, and 27th in CF%, the reality is very much setting in.
When a team is unquestionably bad, fans are left to find enjoyment in unconventional places.
