3. It isn’t all doom and gloom

You’d be mistaken, just like myself if you thought “here we go again” when the Bruin’s third goal nestled in behind Anderson. At the end of the second period, twitter was rife with negativity and apocalyptic mood.

The Ottawa Senators proved everyone wrong, including their own fan base. I’m sure a few people left at the end of the third. The last ten minutes were brutal.

Ottawa once more, showed the character we’ve seen in patches this season and when they do everyone rallies around them. The plucky underdog that could. They cut out the cheap penalties, which were born out of frustration and got back to what they do best. Rolling up their sleeves and grinding.
