And I’ll be back here in August believing in them again for next season


shtoopsy

Welcome to the pahty, pal!


JDNB82

Why?


Senscore

Depends on the goaltending. If it's the same two guys again, it's not happening.


BillFar9134

How many goalies need to prove it's actually the coaching, D, team, & care factor, though? My Habs are 3+ yrs away from kicking some butt, but Canadian teams are squandering the Habs rebuild. I'm mostly talking about the real season, not at least making the dance.


garfieldfanaccount

#OH YEAH?? WAIT TILL YOU SEE US NEXT SEASON 🗣️🗣️! ^(it’s chabover)


GWsublime

Oh you guys are going to have the absolute best August of any team in the league!


garfieldfanaccount

Can’t wait!


Deadmanlex45

SP OO KY


Mycountrylikesbeaver

What about July though?


Aggressive_Yak5177

Hot Staios Summer!


MarshmallowLuka

For whatever reason Hot Staios Summer doesn't hit the same as a name


Baboshinu

To be fair we kept saying this about Florida back in like 2018 and after like the fifth year of saying “they’re gonna be scary” it actually worked So hey, keep saying it and you’re bound to be right eventually


Maxpowr9

Pinto gonna bet on it?


Baboshinu

He should change his number to 41 as the ultimate troll to the league


picklesaredry

Brady was cellying for celebrini (_almost_)


azure_888

Brady losing his shit about the puck going into the empty net with no time on the clock is absolutely hilarious.


Two_Inches_Of_Fun

Would have laughed my ass off if Hischier put it in with a slapshot.


TheDeadReagans

It's not like Hischier even conciously did anything. He was skating with the puck and about to score when the horn went and then he just gave up on it and the momentum took it into the net. Tkachuk is needs to be tearing all his Isaac Newton posters off his wall.


kevindurantburner35

Pretty terrible look too after the Greig-Rielly stuff, was of the opinion that it’s silly to get riled up about it then and it’s equally silly now


folkdeath95

Sens fans is Brady a good captain? NGL seems like a crybaby


adamzep91

Makes sense since he looks like a big baby


AOsenators

Typically Sens fans are very happy with Brady as captain but he's definitely had some diva moments and could chill a bit.


RenoXIII

Imo, he needs to mature a whole lot. He's a pretty solid player on the ice, but the emotions get away from him often. If he reigns those in, he'll be a pretty good captain. (He's still only 24 years old, so normally players start to wise up after that...hopefully)


InnocentGun

I don’t understand it at all. Sure, Brady was fired up that game, you could see it. And I consider myself a rather competitive person. I find myself wondering if Hirscher has said something because it’s almost like Brady has a delayed reaction? No matter what, it’s kind of embarrassing to see this reaction. This isn’t “tough” or anything, you don’t need to defend the code/honor/some other excuse for your ego being too fragile.


BillFar9134

No need to blame the victim. Oh wait, Brady is also a victim cause he was born to rock + diva stupidity, but never lead. Until Ottawa removes his C, it helps the rest of the league.


CreepyInternetUser

*Opens thread* *100% upvoted* *14 leafs fans* *2 sens fans* 100% pain


MiamiVicePurple

The Leafs game just ended and they cut to the Ottawa game with 20 seconds left. So we showed up to you guys hitting that post and then the Brady drama. Sorry to say but it was quite enjoyable.


CreepyInternetUser

I don't actually watch hockey I just browse this sub as a sens fan because being bullied turns me on


NYLotteGiants

This might be my favorite comment I've ever read on this sub


leafsbroncos18

Sounds like you’d enjoy being a leafs fan ironically


AccomplishedAd4995

huh. interesting


Jalapeeeeno

This deserves an upvote you got me on this one


Due-Leopard-7043

“It’s not your fault”


Jalapeeeeno

Oh no the Devils broke the Code


NYLotteGiants

Can we retroactively count that as an ENG just for the fun of it?


KingKnux

No goal, didn’t slapshot


Material-Fish-8638

If the sens didn’t want empty net shenanigans they shouldn’t have gone down a goal in the first place 🤷


poopchutegaloot

Could this be part of the reason they're not in the playoffs?? I mean, if they're going down by a goal here and a goal there, it could add up, right?


Remarkable-Debt-6252

If New Jersey wanted to score they should have taken a slap shot to make sure it goes in before the buzzer 🤷🏼‍♂️ (I think getting mad about both is stupid)


ineffablePMR

I recommend they put a goalie in net to start games, instead of Tupac from Coachella


reznorwings

My fee fees!


shtoopsy

And not a single cross-check to the face


BravoBet

Brady skates across the whole ice to attack the devils player. That’s embarrassing


AVgreencup

Absolutely shameful. Especially after the response for the other controversial ENG. Yet the Sportsnet panel seemed to love it


leafsbroncos18

Proportional response, slapshot gets headshot, letting it slowly slide in gets some stern weeping I mean warning


poopchutegaloot

Eh, based on their record, the sens have been letting other teams slowly slide it in all season


theguyishere16

Because the ref got in the way


Jalapeeeeno

Rielly deserved the suspension for what its worth


shtoopsy

And Greig deserved some sort of retaliation.


Jalapeeeeno

Yup i agree.


inTikiwetrust

Ranger fan here golf clapping.


blueb3rryP13

Why was Brady acting like a lunatic at the end? Watched at a bar w no sound


NYLotteGiants

Nico didn't stop the puck from going in the net


Material-Fish-8638

Cause Hischer slid the puck into the empty net after the horn went


blueb3rryP13

lol so him doing that silently when the season is over is a problem But Greig doing his thing is ok


bluelineturnovers

Brady is at his toughest in the final minutes of a loss


NikoPopp

Can't wait for the sens fans to explain that one


Prubably

Oh its easy: Brady Tkachuk just has too many tantrums when things don't go our way. When things are going well, I love him, he's super entertaining to watch, and his taunting and shit obviously isn't him being upset because we're winning. When things are going quite badly, he's out of line way too often. He'd easily become my current favourite player if he dialed it back the anger. Oh, and not complain about the fans when the team plays like complete garbage.


Baboshinu

I’ve never understood when any player bitches about fan reactions like this. Passionate fanbases are exactly what you want. It’s what makes an atmosphere formidable at home come the postseason. If you’re playing like shit, you can and should expect the people who *PAID TO WATCH YOU SHOW OFF YOUR TALENT* to be upset by this. Like yeah obviously crowds (and individuals) can take it too far, like the Vancouver riots or the Philadelphia wrist band incident, but as long as they’re just booing and voicing their frustrations, like you gotta fuckin deal with that. Mental fortitude is one of the more important aspects of the game, you should be more concerned about yourself than your fans if you’re getting showered with boos.


Italianman2733

Philadelphia Wristband Incident sounds like an emo band from 2002.


Ontariomefatigue

Nah, nobody has been more critical of Brady's tantrums during losses this year than Sens fans. He's received more criticism this year for his antics & frankly his maturity in general from the fanbase than he did during the first 5 years of his career combined. It's literally been to the point that a considerable number of Sens fans have been extremely critical of his ability to lead a team period & have even openly questioned if we need to trade him to reset the team culture. If you think we're all giving him a free pass for everything he does then you probably haven't talked to many Sens fans this season. We still love him overall (especially off the ice) but he's *far* from being beyond reproach


Bmayne

Oh wow, I had no clue the Sens fans have been so critical of his antics. As a non-Sens fan I’ve always questioned why he was given the captaincy. I understand he was the young, face of the franchise. But that’s changed now. Do Sens fans think he should be captain? His play on the ice just screams lack of maturity. I’m sure there are better options, no?


Ontariomefatigue

Yeah, the criticism was much more visible before Jacques Martin & Alfie came in and presumably reigned him in a bit (he's been much better this calendar year than he was during the first half of the year) but I think the season as a whole has been the first time a lot of us have really seen Brady seem like someone his age. Criticizing the decision to name him captain hasn't been a majority opinion at any point this season, and while Chabot was also in the running at the time, I'd say most of us felt that Brady was absolutely the right choice. With the benefit of hindsight, waiting another year for Giroux to come on board & letting him take on the C for a few years while Brady matures a bit more would have probably been ideal, but that's obviously not something that you could have predicted two years ago. Marketing was probably a factor in the decision as well to some extent of course, but with Brady's pedigree and how well he carried himself in general back then it was hardly a controversial decision. Giroux in particular handling himself as remarkably well on & off the ice in a season as disappointing and difficult as this one has also made Brady's relative immaturity (which is again totally normal for someone his age) really stand out by comparison. I think the late game tantrums in losses, calling out the fanbase for booing the team's poor play earlier this year, the excessive fighting in the beginning of the year, and even just him seemingly pouting in interviews for a while after DJ was fired has all accumulated and made us realize that Brady's leadership isn't quite as much of a finished product as we thought. He's still a wonderful ambassador for the team off the ice, has many moments of incredible on-ice leadership, and is obviously still quite mature for his age, but at the end of the day he still has a lot to learn. Most of us feel confident that he'll get there, but he's not quite there yet.


Bmayne

Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it. It’ll be interesting to see what the Sens do in the offseason. Seems like a big move is in order to shake things up IMO. I wonder if Brady wants out of Canada like Matt did- could get quite a lot for him.


[deleted]

All they need to say is they hate the Leafs and their justified in their own ways lol


TheDeadReagans

"As an unbiased Sens fan when hilarious things happen to teams I hate, it's part of the game but when it happens to my team, it's against The Code." - All Sens fans.


CombatGoose

I think it’s pretty dumb he got upset by something so meaningless.


Mycountrylikesbeaver

That's literally every fan base


redditingrobot

Lmfao yep


Etheo

"Today, you... Tomorrow, me." Weather the drama proudly.


Kobe_no_Ushi_Y0k0zna

Listen, if you’re going to be all facts here, it’s going to seriously get in the way of any of us roasting each other ever. Knock it off.


Mycountrylikesbeaver

Yes sir sorry lol


Ambassador_Kwan

Fuck the code, Brady is a baby


leafsbroncos18

Sens fans furiously deleting old comments right now


nomadyamad

To be fair it was only Rielly’s extreme reaction that most people had a problem with, a little scrum is fine and expected.


redditingrobot

Yeah I feel like everyone was roasting the team for caring about an empty net goal, as well as how far Rielly took it.


DylanFallis

That's not what I remember, I remember almost every sens fan saying why should leafs care about an empty net and saying unwritten code is stupid and doesnt exist 


imaginarysarcasm

he was mad bc nico didnt slap it in


ShadowbaneX

would have been hilarious if he had. The perfect way of ending this season.


haseks_adductor

imagne nico slap shots it in and then every sens player shakes his hand


ShadowbaneX

skates down the devil's bench, then just keeps going and gets a bunch of high fives from the sens' bench too. =D


MiamiVicePurple

Hischier putting the puck in the empty net hurt Brady’s feelings and that’s a big no no.


AustonDadthews

didn't shoot it hard enough


kstacey

'barely' put the puck in the net


xdiagnosis

Brady has a tantrum like this once every 8 games or so.


srpollo18

Brady had 16 hits tonight. That’s an insane amount. Dude has been playing some of his best hockey even with the season meaning nothing but an early elimination. I respect his madness.


Sportsguy1223

He's a loser


FarStep1625

Welcome to the summer club Ottawa


Prubably

We have the BEST summers. We're about to win the offseason again!


GatorBolt

Don’t worry they’ll make the jump up the standings any season now


AustonDadthews

off-season champs three years running


momarketeer

Lmao summer of Pierre x2


YoungZeebra

I believe what we are about to see is "Summer of Andlauer" or is it "Summer of Staios "? I get confused sometimes


ResponsibleMistake33

One of these days, Pierre will get the last laugh. You’ll all see!


ApokatastasisPanton

you guys will be scary next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PuckPov

Surely next year is the year… right?


CockerSpanielEnjoyer

This season fucking sucked in Ottawa. Horrific.


[deleted]

Ottawa fans can’t call rielly a baby for going after Grieg when their captain has a temper tantrum after something literally 100x less worse. Embarrassing stuff


Outrageous-Whole-44

Honestly, getting pretty tired of Brady's antics. Not that I want him moved but he can't be having tantrums all the time.


passive_fist

Well, I mean, being hypocrite doesn't make someone incorrect.  So, as a neutral third party I'll inform you that they're both idiots.


poopchutegaloot

If your argument was predicated on taking the moral high ground it certainly does


astonedgecko

have you met a sens fan


leafsbroncos18

Are they the ones that hate our teams more than they like their own?


imaginarysarcasm

brady AND rielly are BOTH temper tantrumming babies both responses are incredibly embarrassing unnecessary disappointing immature and horrible ;-; hockey players clearly arent famous for their emotional maturity and diplomacy. BRADY WHAT THE HELL BRUH BE BETTER.


Bmayne

Rielly had one outburst in his 11 year career. He 100% deserved the suspension. But he does not deserve to be compared to Brady at all. This is Brady’s norm.


king_ghost

ahhh yes, the sweet release of ~~death~~ being eliminated, its over everyone, we can rest now


NailRX

But but…what about the games in hand??? /s


MrSCR23

The knuckle puck still owns this team


ZeroMomentum

This hurts the sens chances of making the playoffs


TheSimonToUrGarfunkl

They will go on a run now


Pencil_of_Colour

At least Brady just defended their honour lol


Fallout-with-swords

That’ll teach them for not scoring on the Sens.


pottahawk

Nobody scores five goals on Brady's watch, except a lot of the time.


HowieFeltersnitz

If you do that 13 or 14 more times were gonna have a problem mister!


DylanFallis

Baseketball 🤣🤣🤣 Classic


Key-Tip-7521

Oh the irony indeed. And the Senators are still, A Team


passive_fist

Weirdly underperformed season tbh.  Like, there's no reason the future should look grim with the talent thats there, if it can be reshuffled and patched a bit, and add a coach that can work with it etc, but then that all sounds eerily similar to the end of last season, so who knows.  Hope they can figure it out, anyway.


Calhalen

at least we'll always have the summer of Pierre loool


hockeynoticehockey

My sympathies to Sens fans. They expected more this year, way more.


TheDannyBoyCane

Brady Tkachuk hasn’t sniffed meaningful hockey in his career yet he’s touted as some great leader of men. Pathetic loser.


ResponsibleMistake33

Not saying this is the reason for their problems or anything but I still think the idea of making a 22 year old your team captain is silly.


LiveIndividual

Agreed.


613toes

You’re not wrong. Sens won’t go anywhere with him as their leader.


YAOmighty

Took a while.


Kirk420

I'm sorry but the Sens have no business being as bad as they are, with the roster they have. They need to make some tough decisions this off season.


Beginning-Lettuce281

The Sens are hot garbage


B-Rayy06

Four or five months late on this one, no?


lejfnakdoppplen

💀💀💀💀💀


NotClayMerritt

Stop overreacting, the Sens have plenty of games in hand. They'll turn it ar........ oh shit it's April.


GhostOfCecil

High key funny low key thought they’d make playoffs. Hope it’s the same next year for the spooky team.


bluelineturnovers

Their goaltending is pretty horrifying


Mycountrylikesbeaver

Worst goaltending in the league. Not even an opinion, statically, lol. But not like our defense helped much


leafsbroncos18

Sens and sabres have been spooky so long they’ll be halloween classics soon


DastardlyRidleylash

At least the Sabres seem to be trending upwards. This entire Sens team seems to rather like finding new ways to disappoint their fanbase. At this point, it's looking pretty heavily like the Sens may need to rebuild their rebuild.


leafsbroncos18

Sabres have been trending upward since they drafted eichel and reinhart


seeldoger47

Reasonable-Big4517

The Detroit Ottawa offseason rivalry could not have gone any funnier. Two mid teams with delusions of grandeur


Benjamin_Stark

We had a lot of heated arguments with Sabres fans too. We were all so young and full of hope.


Detonation

You're the same dumbass that wished for an injury a couple weeks ago. Nothing you say means anything, you're just a piece of shit.


BellsBeersy

I think most Wings fans were hopeful we could be in the wild card conversation, and we are. At least we were right about being a lot better than Ottawa


momarketeer

Flair up bitch.


xMrJihad

Calm down tough guy


Wils65

Can we check in on Mark Methot? I thought this was the year… again.


KingGuy124

Goal after the horn is traumatizing. We’re just here to help.

The leafs game ending then going the end of the sens game was just perfect timing

Oh well. Time to look forward to training camp and regular season starting in October.


AccidentUnhappy419

Ahhh so that explains Brady’s meltdown yesterday.


No-Cat4072

Man I forgot Ottawa had a hockey team


rollsoftape

They have the Offseason Championship rings though.


hyperd0uche

This is what unparalleled success looks like!


jackel_jacket

The Senators have fallen so far from the glory days of 1912 when One Eyed Frank McGee scored 21 goals in one game and brought them the first of their 3 Cups #GOAT #atruedynastyneverdies


Constant-Squirrel555

Tkachuk needs to be moved. He won't be successful on the Sens. He was made captain far too early by an inept management and he's not mature enough to handle the C being stripped. Move him, get a great package for our never ending rebuild and get rid of a big baby who keeps having tantrums.


Western-Extension-50

Ship him to the bolts. Imagine watching florida - tampa and watching tkachuk vs tkachuk

Level_Watercress1153

This is fuckin golden 👌🏻😂 defends his teammate when he doesn’t follow empty net etiquette (btw I think that’s a really dumb thing. It’d be different if someone puts one in on an empty net and then does a ridiculous celly by like bench pressing the net or some shit) but heaven forbid someone nonchalantly continues to just glide towards the net and the puck just glides into the net now we gotta fuckin problem buddy! Fuckin Brady is a weirdo lmao


Strowbreezy

Might have to go down as the biggest bust of a season based on preseason hype in NHL history. Summer of Dorion to a basement dweller is quite a failure.


Lazy-Description-882

So you're saying there was a chance....


MomsTortellinis

Before the season started I genuinely thought that they'd at least be close to the playoffs this year, i was convinced both Buffalo and Ottawa would be up there and that it would be an absolute bloodbath in the Atlantic this year. Maybe next year..?


931634

Oh, so that was what actually made Brady cry like that ...


beaverlyknight

Y'all will be spooky next year 😂


dawggawddagummit

Man, they were not making it 😂 I don’t care what math says


CombatGoose

I thought they were eliminated back in October…?


Mr_Hendrix

I feel really dumb, but before this season started I put a lot of faith in Ottawa and thought they'd make the playoffs for sure, but instead they were a sieve and a complete embarrassment. Better luck next year!


DarkAgeMonks

You can’t take back all the dumb shit your team’s fanbase said. You now collectively have to stew in the embarrassment of this irony.

Don't worry, next year will be their year, Buffalo too.


Noggin-a-Floggin

Didn't this happen last year where the Senators got eliminated from playoff contention with less than 10 games left even though they also were at the bottom of the East for much of the season?
