Are Senators primed for a Cinderella run?



Following a massive victory over Red Wings, the Senators are back in a playoff spot for the first time since December 3. If they hold their position and make the playoffs, are the Sens a sleeping giant with the way they are playing? Domino’s That’s Hockey discusses.

  1. Another advantage is that with them having injuries, and really testing their drpth, and still winning. When players come back from injuries, it gives them a further opportunity to make small changes (like keep Yak in the NHL) to improve their team even more.

    They also have the advantage of getting a head start to playing playoff style hockey.

  2. A team that allows a lot of shots on goal will give their goalie a better average. The Sens don’t allow many shots so one goal in 15 shots is a worse percentage than another team’s 2 goals in 28 shots. The percentages don’t measure the quality of 5he shots on goal.

  3. In response to the question that forms the title of the That’s Hockey segment, it’s quite possible the Sens will make a Cinderella run. The 2022 postseason featured an Oiler team that in the Pacific Division had in the regular season finished second to the Flames, but with the Oilers’ having gone onto beat the Flames in a conference semifinal. Yes the Avs would, in that conference final, sweep the Oilers although the message was clear: to not count the Oilers out winning games in the postseason. Little would anyone know the Oilers would make consecutive runs to Stanley Cup finals during the postseasons of 2024 and 2025.

  4. TSN must be so bitter that they have to talk about the sens because their toronto darlings are trash lol
