Lots has been made of Ottawa’s improved results as of late. I wanted to see if this was an actual change analytically, or a factor of being taken lightly due to standings. So I compared this stretch to winning streaks of years past. Check it out!

Improved Ottawa Senators Defence: Tangible or Repeat of Past Seasons?

This is finally starting to pay off as Ottawa has strung some wins together, which has been led by a much improved Ottawa Senators defence.

Hopefully this makes Hockey Canada realize that bringing 6-7 guys who “play the game the right way” over legit point per game players is not going to work any longer. Incredibly poorly constructed team.
