I could sit here and rant and rave all night long about how disappointing it is to see my Ottawa Senators come out so flat in game 5 and ultimately lose their chance of winning the Stanley Cup. So many mistakes, so many plays that seemed to plunge a dagger into the heart of every Sens fan out there: when you think they had a chance to get back in it, they would quickly fall back into a hole. When the third period rolled around, there was no stopping the Ducks. Ray Emery couldn't stop a beach ball. Turnovers and more turnovers. No shot production by the forwards. Heck, Antoine Vermette couldn't even muster a shot after being given a penalty shot in the third period. An absolute car wreck of a game.

I'll instead just leave you with this little story. Colin told John that if the Senators win the Stanley Cup, he would pay out of his own pocket to put the name of the player who scored the winning goal on the back of his Sens jersey (currently blank after having Patrick Lalime's name removed). Well, they didn't win the cup, but Chris Phillips did put in the winning goal for the Anaheim Ducks. Does this qualify?
