-Fitting that the season would end on a dazzling shootout goal by Jason Spezza. The future of the Captain figures to be one of the most talked about storylines of the upcoming off season. Last night TSN’s Darren Dreger indicated on a couple of occasions that he expects Spezza to move this summer. And that is in line with what I have shared over the last week or so. One thing people need to keep in mind here is that this decision isn’t entirely up to the Senators. Both sides may be ready to go their separate ways. If Ottawa does want to keep him, it may be up to Bryan Murray to convince him to stick around.
-So while the Senators season ends in disappointment in terms of not making the playoffs, the team has to be happy with the way they closed out the season. They were among the hottest teams in the league over the last month, and ended their year on a five game winning streak. If anything, that makes the inconsistency they showed throughout the season that much more disappointing.
-Paul MacLean is another story line we’ll hear a lot about over the off season but I really do believe he’s safe heading into next season. Not sure the organization would make MacLean available to the media today if they had plans to fire him right at the end of the season. MacLean and the players will speak to the media today. Murray and Melnyk are up tomorrow.
-Wanted to close out the season with a most sincere “Thank You” to the loyal readers of this site. It has been another fun season around these parts as we completed the transfer to our new website layout. It was a move that allowed us to continue to grow the community. This site started as the odd insider tip from an anonymous source but has developed into one of the best places to talk Sens hockey anywhere on the internet. None of it would be possible without your ongoing loyalty and contributions to the site. So again, thank you!
