For the Ottawa Senators, this year`s locker room cleanout day in Ottawa felt different compared to previous years.
Traditionally, this day has been tough for the players. However, after making significant strides during the 2024-25 season and returning to the Stanley Cup Playoffs after an eight-year absence, there was finally some reason for positive reflection as well.
Nevertheless, it`s clear that the ultimate outcome still left a disappointing feeling.
Captain Brady Tkachuk expressed his lingering feelings on Saturday, stating, “Still not over it. To be honest with you, [I] still wish we were playing game seven tonight.”
