Loyal Ottawa hockey fans were rewarded this year. The Ottawa Senators, the city’s team, made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Suddenly, Sens flags started to appear all across the city, on windows, on cars… and even on the big crane by the National Art Gallery of Canada.
This year, four Canadian teams qualified for the playoffs (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver), the most since 2006. The Toronto Maple Leafs made the playoffs for the first time since 2004 but eventually lost to the Boston Bruins—still a sore topic for Toronto.
I really didn’t follow hockey this year, especially considering the lockout. But hey… I do support the Sens by default (and then, Canadian teams over American teams!).

I think the Canadians didn’t even make it to the play-offs!
No, they did!
We have been watching bits and bobs too (Luke more than me) but we saw Ottawa play.
Have you ever been to a hockey game? If not, add it to your “must do” list, it’s actually fun!
I have never been to a Senators’ game, can you believe it?!
I’ve been to see an amateur hockey game, but have always wanted to see the Sens play.
I’ve seen them play a couple of times, just for the sake of it (and because we got cheap ticket!) 😉
It’s as if I took your place in France, and you took my place in Ottawa.
😆 It is, isn’t it!
