from Roy MacGregor of the Globe and Mail,
“It felt like the walls were closing in on us,” Jason Spezza all but whispered when all was over and done with.
He was speaking not just of the game — his Ottawa Senators’ 3-1 defeat by the Pittsburgh Penguins — and not just of the series, now embarrassingly lost in four consecutive games, but of an entire year clouded in mystery.
For a team that, not so many years back, came within a lighted candle of holding a séance to call upon the spirits of One-eyed Frank McGee for help, it was hardly surprising last night the Senators would be looking for a little magic.
Update 2:00pm ET: From TSN,
Although Emery admits he did not perform up to standards this year, he said he would not be the fall guy for the team.
“Yeah it was a really bad year for me,” said Emery. “The worst year I’ve had - on and off the ice - it just wasn’t enjoyable at all. I learnt a lot of things but that’s about it - not too many positives”
