Oh yeah, these guys get swept.
2026 is a year of questionable playoff droughts being broken in the Eastern Conference of the NHL.
Firstly The Buffalo Sabers came back to the dance for the first time since the Arab Spring, giving fans in upstate New York something to look forward to other than a month and a half of livable weather.
And now it’s the Ottawa Senators getting back into the mix for the first time since their magical 2017 Eastern Conference Finals run.
Unfortunately, The Red Wings pissed their legs off for the final two months of the season, or this could have been a triumvirate of disappointed fans being rewarded (sorry, Detroit).
Speaking of being rewarded, the Senators probably won’t get out of the first round this year thanks to a monstrosity of a fan hype video.
Trigger warning if you creep easily:

Oh yeah, these guys get swept.
They probably also thought they were so clever with the little dig at the Maple Leafs.
It’s not quite as bad as the a cappella nightmare that Illinois glee club gave usbut this is pretty terrible.
It’s also very well produced, so you know these guys are at least somewhat affiliated with the Sens, and that also means a lot of money has gone into this.
Ottawa already had an uphill battle, as opening-round opponent the Carolina Hurricanes are basically a lock to at least win a first-round playoff series these days.
They didn’t need to go and give a worthy opponent more jet fuel to throw on the fire.
You probably could have guessed it, but these guys are about to be raked over the coals for ending the Sens playoff run before it even began.
Forget everything about liberal journalists trying to shame him publiclyI think THIS is the final straw for Brady Tkachuk demanding a trade.
If the Sens get swept in the first round and then lose their franchise cornerstone/team captain as a result, these guys should be tied up in the public square for fans to pelt them with tomatoes.
Better luck next year, Ottawa. And keep these aspiring artists far away from your franchise in the future.
