Since the early days of SensChirp, we’re talking all the way back to 2008 actually, I have struggled with writing titles for my articles.

Gam Day- Senators Host Hurricanes. Close but not perfect.

DJ Smith met with the media literally hours ago and as you might expect after a game like the had against the Devils, no changes expected to the lineup. Don’t want to mess with perfection.
