Sens at Land's End

Well, Sens, I have to say you have about drained me.

Today’s game: shut out 2-0 by the team with the worst record in the NHL (though since January 1, in fact the Sens are the proud owners of that distinction). They actually get good goaltending, and now they can’t score. With about two minutes to go in the third period, they were down 1-0 and apparently scored a goal only to have it waved off because the referees didn’t see it and there was no replay angle that clearly showed the puck having crossed the line.

Yep, that’s the way things are going.

The sad thing is, I expected them to lose this game and it’s only the goal being waved off that has me feeling disappointed about it. I just don’t have anything left for them right now. I looked at the standings and I see the Rangers now only two points back, which means by Sunday they’ll probably by in 6th place and in real danger of missing the playoffs entirely. This is the first time I’ve thought that was actually a possibility. That goal not counting … I felt like if it had counted, that might have turned things around. But having it not count seems like it might be the last nail in the coffin.

I want to know what happened to my team. It makes me sad.
