Well this is fun.
The Final:
Senators 3, Canucks 0
How It Happened:
The seventh-place-but-just-by-a-point Senators dominated, beginning to end. Matt Murray shut the door like the neighbors when I walk by selling magazine subscriptions. There were power play goals. There was a shorthanded goal. I don’t know if Vancouver has a mascot but if they do, I’m willing to allege that he or she or they tried to desert at one point. Just great hockey by the Sens. And I say that as a man who has watched exactly zero minutes of Senators hockey this year but blogs about them undauntedly nonetheless.
Any Fights?
Yeah! And it produced a nice little combined 19 minutes of penalties. Great start to the series.

Senators News:
Uh here’s some news for you: The Senators are good.
Also Nick Paul picked up a knock, as the British would say.
What’s Next:
Game two of four, still in Vancouver. Tomorrow night. Winner is in sixth place (Flames play the Canadiens tonight and tomorrow for those wondering).
