It’s the most exciting time of the year for hockey fans everywhere. With the NHL 2016 playoffs right around the corner, the excitement is growing: players are setting new records, Connor McDavid won’t stop scoring, and teams are making a final push in order to make it to the post-season.
Here in Ottawa, the hometown team’s season has hardly been perfect. The Ottawa Senators have been subject to bad luck, injured players, lacklustre games, and far too many losses. However, they have also had miraculous comebacks and great goaltending.
