With the best player in Senators history being inducted into the Hall of Fame, the team did what it has done too often this season: Lose.
Are the players on this roster good enough? Is the coaching good enough? Does the team need general manager Pierre Dorion to step up and find trade solutions? All good questions. There’s no time for maybes or what-ifs, though, as the team tries to figure things out and play its next game Wednesday at home against the Buffalo Sabres.
Some of the fans in a half-full Canadian Tire Centre hung around to watch on the big screen the induction of former captain Daniel Alfredsson into the Hall of Fame. Others left the building with an all-too-familiar empty feeling. “ been great for us all year,” said Claude Giroux, who had a goal and an assist. “Coming into camp, I didn’t know what to expect. He plays a mature game, he’s a very smart hockey player. I’m not surprised he’s playing some good hockey right now.”
The Senators got a couple of whacks at the puck from in close with about three minutes left in the first period, but couldn’t knock it past Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov. There was another flurry of Ottawa chances in the final minute, but again, nothing to show for it.
