2026 is a year of dubious playoff droughts being broken in the Eastern Conference of the NHL.
First, theBuffalo Sabres made it back to the dancefor the first time since the Arab Spring, giving the 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 in the mix for the first time since their magical 2017 Eastern Conference Finals run.
Unfortunately,the Red Wings pissed down their legsin the final two-month stretch of the season, or this could have been a triumvirate of disappointed fans being rewarded (sorry, Detroit).
Speaking of being rewarded, the Senators likely won't be making it out of the first round this year thanks to a monstrosity of a fan hype video.
Trigger warning if you cringe easily:
Oh yeah, these guys are getting swept.
They probably thought they were so clever with that little dig at the Maple Leafs, too.
It's not quite as bad asthe a cappella nightmare the Illinois glee club gave us, but this is pretty awful.
It's also very well produced, so you know these guys are at least somewhat affiliated with the Sens, and it also means a lot of money went into this.
