OTTAWA – The 2024-25 season for the Ottawa Senators was a thrilling and joyous journey for their fans. It was a season filled with enthusiasm, excitement, and pure enjoyment, marking a significant shift from years of losing as the team became winners in their most memorable season in eight years.
Although their playoff run was ultimately ended by the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6, Thursday night still served as a celebration for both the fans and the organization, reflecting on the significant progress and exciting path they had travelled.
If fans were asked before the 2024-25 season if they would accept a first-round playoff exit in a hard-fought series, what would their answer have been?
They likely would have agreed in an instant, faster than the “Brady” chants erupted for Brady Tkachuk`s first shift in Game 6.
“As much as it stings right now and it sucks,” said Thomas Chabot post-game, “it`s a hell of a year by everybody right from the get-go, from training camp. Every single guy in this room bought into the plan, to the process and we never stopped.”
