Onward and Upward
The big news yesterday was that the Sens officially shortened Cory Clouston’s job title, signing him to a two-year deal and making him the team’s actual Head Coach. I think this is excellent news. CC-1000, as I’ve taken to calling him because of his uncanny resemblance to Robert Patrick and his angry-yet-somewhat-robotic behind the bench demeanour, has done great things for the team so far and I’m happy to see him get the opportunity to keep going.
As pleased as I am to see the Sens get this settled, I’m a bit distracted by the even bigger news of the day: the Columbus Blue Jackets clinched their first ever playoff spot last night. Thinking about how excited I was when the Sens made it to the postseason for the first time, I can imagine what longtime Jackets fans are feeling right now. From what I’ve seen watching their games on TV this season, Columbus fans are extremely enthusiastic, and I know they’ll love this experience.
