Which Sens team will we see next?

There is no real point on remarking on the positives and negatives of each game right now because nobody knows which Senators team we will see when they play. Two great efforts against Buffalo before and after a stinker in New Jersey. I hope we can get Buffalo-esque efforts on a consistent basis, but that remains to be seen. You don't play every game against Toronto and Buffalo.

So from now on (or until I get bored), I am going to pretend that each stretch of 7 or less games (depending on the results), will be a kind of playoff series. I want to see how many series the Sens can win before the playoffs begin. I still have faith they will make it this year, but of course them making it to the big dance can be considered an assumption.

Looking back on the season the Sens lost their first series 4-2, with Colorado finishing them off. Then they came out strong with 3 straight victories yet lost 4 straight with Washington beating them in OT for another series lose. The Sens lost their next series 4-2 with the deciding game being in New Jersey on Friday. That is 0-3 in series' so far this year if anyone cares. :)

The Sens have started their next series strong with a victory yesterday over Buffalo, but the odds aren't in the Sens favour to carry this victory over to tomorrow's game against the Wild.

We have to wait and see.

That is a pretty interesting way of looking at the regular season.

Maybe the Sens are thinking of it that way as well and that is why they keep losing the 'series'.
