We in the Bandwagon household blame ourselves. Forever, we’ve risen from the couch to stand reverentially before the Panasonic while the anthem is performed before Sens’ playoff games. Should we be wearing hats, we remove them. Wednesday night, we did not stand.
The Sens lost. Our fault.
And maybe yours, too. Do you have a game day ritual you perhaps failed to follow for the series opener. Something you wear, or say, or do, or don’t do? Or did you faithfully perform your playoff practice, only to see the Senators lose by a goal because we didn’t perform ours?
Either way, we want to know about your special game-day habits, and whether you’re considering any alterations that could change the Sens’ luck. You can get our attention here. Just not, from now on, during the anthem.
We now take you back to May 2, 2013
A Habs fan in the newsroom (yes, they’re EVERYWHERE) suggests we post this video of the Eric Gryba hit on Lars Eller in the 2013 series “for balance.” OK, but only while we point out that Gryba received a five-minute penalty for interference plus a game misconduct (not a 10-minute misconduct, as wrongly noted at the YouTube site) AND a subsequent two-game suspension.
Forty-one thousand and five*
* Number of times in the post-season we’ve already seen the Tim Hortons “coffee tasters” commercial. (OK, it’s only been once or twice, but it feels like 41,005.)
Follow that tweeter
For a “knowledgeable hockey fan” (™ Sportsnet dept. of colour commentary), Habs supporter @AndrewBerkshire seems to lose every shred of perspective when it comes to the Senators. Watch him strike out wildly as his emotions overpower his common sense. Hmmm. Remind you of anyone?
