DISGRACE #1 - I don’t have much to say about the game. What a bust. How could a team with their season on the line come out so unfocused, undisciplined and effortless in the third period.

Big guns were useless. Neil took dumb penalties. It simply wasn’t pleasant.

DISGRACE #2 - Almost as distressing as the game was their playoff introduction where a fat guy dressed like a Spartan walked past the players and and rambled on (with the mike cutting out) about a Sens Army fighting. It was the most awkward thing I’ve ever seen. It was embarrassment to the players, the fans, the organization and the city. Here it is:

DISGRACE #3 - On top of that they kept having this guy’s lame clips chanting “defend” or “attack” throughout the game. It really killed the atmosphere during the game. Everyone, accept for (I guess) the audio/visual guys could see how lame this was. Everyone should be ashamed. I’m not sure why Murray even allowed the players to take part in the video.

DISGRACE #4 - THEN - for the first time in franchise history, the team didn’t come out to their theme song. The standard Sens opening with the beat followed by the Sens theme is epic. Here it is classic Sens intro:

I was shocked that it was cancelled in favour of the shit we saw. What a-hole let that happen? They should be shitcanned immediately.

DISGRACE #5 - BUT the organization didn’t stop their with their bad decision making. Rather than playoff towels OR red pom poms - Sens fans were treated to a single thunderstick each. Which (1) doesn’t come through on tv as looking like anything AND (2) you can’t make any noise with because they only gave each fan ONE!

DISGRACE #6 - THEN there’s the mural put up in front of the Penguins dressing room of the Senators eliminating the Penguins last season. As if the Pens needed any more motivation to get up for this game. Show a little class front office. And even if they decided to put it up before they knew they were playing the Penguins they could have easily painted over it.
