OTTAWA — Senators captain Brady Tkachuk didn’t mince words when talking about Ottawa missing the NHL playoffs for a seventh straight season.
Tkachuk said he went into the season with"high hopes," and early on there was reason for optimism under new owner Michael Andlauer. But none have appeared in a single playoff game, let alone understand what it takes to get through a long playoff run. Aside from Claude Giroux there is little veteran leadership, and at times interim coach Jacques Martin spoke of the team’s immaturity.
"At the end of the day it’s about making a commitment to playing the same way every night,” Chabot said. “As a team we know we have talent and we have good players, but at the end of the day it’s about being able to play the same game every night whether things are going well or not. It’s about finding a consistent way to perform.”
“Our game’s got to grow,” Giroux said. “We need to help each other better, play more as a team and it’s about being a pro. Whether it’s a goal against or goals for or a loss or a win, it doesn’t matter, you’ve just got to keep grinding and keep pushing forward.”
