Past Game 7 losses shouldn’t haunt these Sens | Ian Mendes, TSN

Simply uttering their names out loud sends a shiver down the spine of any die-hard Ottawa Senators fan.

Derek Plante.

Jeff Friesen.

Joe Nieuwendyk.

Each name tells a different – but all-too-familiar – story about Game 7 heartbreak for the Senators.

Will the same hold true tonight? I know most of you hope not. I am hoping the Sens win because I really want PK Subban to win the Cup. I think Nashville has a better chance against the Sens, so....

Let’s hope that history doesn’t repeat itself.

LGRW!
