And now what?


Things have honestly gotten that bad. After the last game against the Toronto, and dealing with those damn annoying Leaf fans who occupy half of SBP, and are the only ones who ever cheer at the so-called "Battle of Ontario". All of you who were wearing dated jerseys, bringing booze into the family zones and cheering like they have something to cheer about. Well the message I have for you is, it's not like your team is going anywhere either. Their rebuilding has been going on six years and have they made any progress? I don't think so. So my point is that we should all shut up, breakdown, cry and then stop complaining about our horrid suckiness. All I've seen in the news is "THE SENATORS WON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS'', and I wonder why that is such a shock. Sure it would have shocked me at the start of the year, but for the past month I've come to face the sad reality that this team is going nowhere. Why should anyone care if they make the playoffs this year anyways? Does anyone want to see them get their heads kicked in against those so frickin' annoying Penguins again? I didn't think so.
Now that I've dealt with that, the real point is how our sad sack team can climb back to the top of the League again. It seems that everyone either forgets the Senators used to be a model franchise, or still think that they are. But they're going to have to get worse before they get better. Hopefully (I know this sounds stupid) they stay at the bottom of the league, and maybe even sink to the bottom five, or maybe even bottom three? Or even the pitied but also sometimes envied last place spot, if they can possibly out-suck the Islanders. But why tank it? No one will see the games if they continue to suck, and what about the poor season ticket holders, who will have to suffer through more God-awful play. Firstly, tanking it for an early pick makes sense because of this year's shallow draft class. Second, empty seats aren't exactly foreign to the NHL. And lastly, I have trouble pitying people who can afford season tickets.
Another step to achieving the ultimate suckiness that leads to greatness, is making, Heaven forbid, a trade. Even though poor Murray can't string together a trade, even everyone except Karlsson is apparently on the market, something has to be done. I mean right now, I would take a bag of pucks for Kuba or Kovalev, and almost anyone on the roster for a new scoreboard (Why can't teams just release players???).
Well as Bruce Garrioch said, "Somethings Gotta Give".
Lord I hope so.
