Is this the end?
Tonight’s Game 5 could be the end of the NHL season, the last hockey game for the season. All of us who want a longer season need to root quite hard for the Senators. But I don’t think they’ll be able to pull it off. They have been outplayed at every level by the Ducks.
If they want to win, then Ottawa needs to execute on defense and maintain some level of consistency on offense. They’ve yet to do either. ESPN2 has a stat on their bottom line about how outscored the Senators are in the 3rd period. They need to win every period. It needs to be a blowout. Otherwise it’s just a delay of the inevitable — a loss in the final frame of what will be the last game of the season.
NHL, hockey, Senators, Ducks, Ottawa, Stanley Cup, Anaheim

I hope it isn’t the end! I do admit that Anaheim has been playing really good hockey…

Alas, as we saw, it was the end.
Overall, I was disappointed with the quality of the series. I expected a bit more.
