Sens at Land’s End

The trade deadline.

You may have heard: it’s tomorrow.

The Sens, as one of the few teams that is well and truly out of the playoff race, might be able to make a splash or two by auctioning off some players. Has Filip Kuba just scored his last goal for the Senators? Will Chris Neil ever be seen in an Ottawa uniform again? Is it finally time to show Christoph Schubert the way out of town?

Personally, I love the deadline. The rumours, the hype, the inevitable letdown when nothing happens: it’s all a nice break from the everyday NHL routine. I’m hoping for big things. It’d be awesome if some unexpected blockbuster mega deal went down. Of course, that probably isn’t likely.

That’s why I’m going to have to make my own fun, and present my thoughts throughout the day in haiku form.

See you tomorrow, when I wake up ridiculously early in order not to miss any of the super exciting action.
