A sampling of blog posts about the Sens playoff exit:

    * 
 The only thing I am certain of now is that Jacques Martin, Patrick Lalime, Alexei Yashin, and Radek Bonk were not responsible for the problems in previous playoff disappointments.

 That line that you have been feeding us for years about "just needing to get past the Toronto Maple Leafs" and things would be okay wasn't true after all...

 Here in Toronto when we beat the Senators we fill the streets and sing until the night away. All they did in Buffalo was honk a couple of horns and cheer.

 Did you ever play NHL 94 for the SNES? If you did, you know that you could score every single time by dipping behind the net, then crossing in front and scoring… which is exactly what happened in the Ottawa-Buffalo game.

 The Senators have once again been put out of their race for the Stanley Cup in the second round. It seems like a right of spring, snow melting, flowers blooming, Senators losing.

That mental mistake by Alfredsson and Redden to let Pominville in the front of the net is just utterly, utterly stupid, unacceptable and friggin' lazy. Call it a miscommunication. Call it a blip. Call it the end of our friggin' season.

Well tonight if you are a Senator fan I feel for you. If you know someone who has ties to that team it might be an idea to call them and say hello. Or go to church and light and candle. Or keep watch over them in case of suicide.

Interesting to note is that Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson shaved his playoff beard today. That tells me that if superstition is fake, it sure acts real from time to time.

Congratulations to the Buffalo Sabres and their fans. They're a hardworking, deserving team and I look forward to watching them prove the hockey world wrong.

Three years ago when Ottawa lost to the Devils in a Game 7, there was still the thought that this was the beginning of a growth and learning period for the young Senators. That's not the feeling anymore.

The (Philadelphia Phillies) of the 70`s were like the Sens...They had Schmidt, Carlton, Trillo, Maddox, Boone, Luzinski, and yet they always lost in the playoffs.
