Ottawa Sun “Ottawa Senators proving they have no quit” – Tim Baines
A nice piece up on the Ottawa Sun today that captures accurately how incredible Ottawa’s current run has been.
Also a focus is the Senators first playoff appearance in which Jason York recounts the run Ottawa went on in the 96-97 season, where it came down to a final 82nd “win and you’re in” style of game vs Buffalo. Will the Senators make it this year? It would be the end to an incredible run and perhaps the greatest in the franchise’s history.
