Why we hate the Ottawa Senators
Photo by Richard A. Whittaker/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesIt’s Rivalry Week here at SB Nation, and I have been asked a simple question: Why do I hate the Ottawa Senators?
Well... how much time you got, buddy?
The basics
Everybody should hate the Ottawa Senators.
Canada’s alleged “capital city” is home to one of the most unlikable sports franchises in all of North American professional athletics (with all due respect to New England, Washington, and Dallas in the NFL, the Boston Red Sox, and pretty much anything emanating from New York City).
What makes the Sens so worthy of our hate? That special, Philadelphia kind of eternally-burning, passed-on-through-generations, J.D. Drew-esque hate?
