It was a sea of red and black at the Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday afternoon as fans came to watch the big screen while their Senators played in Philadelphia and secured their spot in the playoffs with a 3-1 victory.
Fans chanted, “Go, Sens, go,” as they lined up to get into the free show, with many waiting more than an hour for the doors to open.
Originally only the 100 section was to be opened, but, with about 11,000 fans in attendance, the upper levels were also made available for those who had come to revel in the team spirit.
Senators helmets, hats, foam fingers, Hamburglar masks, player face cutouts and every other kind of Sens merchandise decorated the crowd as they rallied together to support the team during its road game that finished the regular-season schedule.
“I think they’ll go all the way,” said Ashley O’Connell. “I have full faith in them. I think they’re going to beat expectations.”
Spartacat spent the entire game encouraging fans and meeting with kids, at one point breaking out a cow bell to keep the “Go, Sens, go” chorus going strong.
Whenever the team scored, the crowd erupted.
“Typically, when teams make big runs like this they kind of run out of juice when they get to the playoffs because it’s so monumental of a feat,” said Andrew Fawcett. “But with these guys, they’re so dangerous they could go all the way.”
Throughout the breaks, the jumbo TV would focus on fans as they showed off everything from their muscles to their dance moves to their ability to balance dice on a stick with their mouth.
The crowd kept a wave circling through the audience for close to 30 consecutive cycles.
The parking lot was a chorus of raucous honking as the Sens Army left the arena ecstatic after the game.
Now that the team is officially in the playoffs and the possibility of jinxing it is gone, the Sens Mile is set to open on Elgin Street Sunday, but some fans got there early.

“We thought we would come down and walk the red mile and see what’s going on,” said Paul Francis. “How do Senators fans know it’s spring? The Sens are in and the Leafs are out!”
Although not all the fans were out on Saturday night, the patio at the Lieutenant’s Pump was full of red and black hockey jerseys.
“We’re feeling magical,” said Warren Dunlop. “It’s miraculous and unbelievable that they could go on that kind of a run.”
John Linklater had watched the game with a group of 15 people at a friend’s house.
“It’s great because it brings so many people together,” Linklater said about the Sens making it to the playoffs. “It’s always a good time.”
Fans that had been at the game earlier migrated down to Elgin to keep the madness going.
Ryan Persaud, a member of the Red Scarf Union, has been to most of the games and will continue going throughout the playoffs, and planned to remain part of the festivities as they stretched into the late evening.
