Comment l’implosion des Sénateurs s’est avérée inévitable malgré leur long parcours en séries éliminatoires



Les Sénateurs d’Ottawa ont choqué tout le monde lorsqu’ils ont poussé les Penguins à un septième match, finale en double prolongation de la finale de la Conférence de l’Est de 2017. Ils ont surperformé, ils ont eu de la chance, ils n’auraient pas dû aller aussi loin – mais ils étaient là. Les Sens étaient sur le point de concourir pour la toute première Coupe Stanley de la franchise. Et puis, pouf. Non seulement ils ont perdu ce match, mais tout ce que leur course magique a momentanément dissimulé est pleinement apparu. Leur destruction est venue de l’intérieur et au fil des mois, elle a prouvé que peu importe ce que les joueurs avaient fait sur la glace en 2017, leur disparition était inévitable. **CORRECTION : à 7h05, les Sénateurs ont accueilli Montréal, et non Toronto comme dit dans la vidéo. Je (vais) m’excuser auprès des deux fanbases pour vous avoir confondu. C’était une erreur honnête et non destinée à être un affront de la part d’un fan des Red Wings.

    Just wanted to point out at 7:05 that the outdoor game was against Montreal, not Toronto. I was supposed to go but had a uni exam at 7pm on a Saturday 😭

    I think the on-ice decline can be traced back to losing Marc Methot over Cody Ceci in the expansion draft. Once Vegas claimed him and flipped him to Dallas, the first domino fell.
    Are they at fault for choosing a higher drafted, younger player over an older player with a history of injuries? I don't know, perhaps Ottawa would've gotten a greater return by dealing a younger Ceci in the offseason while he was still under contract so they'd have more salary cap space for Methot and that's arguably the most confounding aspect to the whole thing.
    I just remember the times we chose Heatley over Hossa, Redden over Chara and in all 3 instances including this one, we chose the wrong player if a Cup was the ultimate goal.

    I knew this video was coming, and I know that it’s gonna hurt to watch

    I remember karlson's play during those playoffs. Everything he did turned into gold. He played the best hockey I've ever seen

  7. M.A. Mehalick

    Hate on Melnyk all you want, but as a Leafs fan, he was a saint for taking that Phaneuf contract. Thanks Geno

    Picking the Sens is a bit of a head scratcher. I personally think the Avalanche, or the Devils would be a better Downfall

  14. NHL VAN

    More hockey content lfggg

    I remember being such a sens bandwagoner in 2017, mainly because Burrows was on the team

  15. Jean-Philippe Doyon

    I analyzed hockey since 2003…each year Ottawa went into selling and rebuild mode i always had the same comment…It's because of Melnyk and his cheapness ! 2 time they were close and 2 time they had the same cycle of rebuild, 1 or 2 year of playoff than they can't sign their stars and the fire sale begins again. Last rebuild, people were asking for a change in ownership cause it didn't help the league and was getting ridiculous. I guess it took the death of Melnyk to finally unleash Pierre Dorion !!

    It’s a small thing but you did get one thing wrong, the Uber incident wasn’t just let go and nobody had consequences. Since it was mainly top players they did nothing to them but the one player who wasn’t a top player who was in the front seat (Chris Wideman) was immediately traded for next to nothing.

  20. Jean-Philippe Doyon

    You guys should do more hockey collapes video…i suggest the latest Sharks team and the 1993 post Stanley cup Montréal Canadiens !!

    That bit about the owner being an under-informed drunk tyrant living in Barbados, then appealing for an organ donor, having the people of Ottawa help out a Pharma Billionaire (🤢🤮) out of the charity of their hearts, only for him to still play the "move the franchise" card a couple years later makes my blood boil. Get capitalists out of sports forever. I'm not even from Ottawa! I'm actually one of those American sickos that think Canada's lack of NHL championships is hilarious lol.

    7:05ish, a small correction which doesn't really do anything for this video – it was Montréal they were playing in that outdoor game, not Toronto. Still a great video nonetheless

  27. Edward M

    After you hurt me so badly with the 4-1 game and not even mentioning the Leafs trading Rask for Raycroft, this is exactly the video that I need. Time to watch.

  29. Robert Tokar-Rogers

    You guys need to do a history of failure on the Sharks in the playoffs

    Arguably the biggest disappointments in the NHL in the last 20 years

  31. Mike Dav

    This painted the rebuild as a pretty negative way but it was ultimately the right decision.

    I’m also no fan of Melnyk and he has no shortages of wrongs but the man objectively has some positive moves too.

    Video just seemed a bit bias tbh

  32. JoBeMi

    For anyone that has ever doubted the effect that Melnyk had on the franchise, just look at the moves and news since he’s passed.

    -Alfredsson is back around the team after spending years away due to Melnyk.
    -Neil and Philips have roles in the organization now
    -Plans for a new downtown arena are underway
    -Signed 2 young stars, Norris and Stützle, to longterm deals
    -Signed Giroux, local guy and productive vet
    -Traded for DeBrincat, one of the best goal scorers in the league

    I'm a Pens fan and I can't help but feel sad after that goal in 2OT. They look like they might be on the come-up soon, though.

    Collapse The Buffalo Bills mid 90s
    Collapse: White Sox after 2005
    Collapse: Broncos Post SB 50
    Collapse: LA Kings from 2013-14

    I remember the Karlsson trade, and everyone dunking on them for giving their franchise player for a bunch of scrap. But the hockey Gods had mercy on them, and the Sharks surprisingly collapsed on their own, so one of the first-round picks ended up 2nd overall and gave them Stuztle. They also got young prospect Josh Norris who became a legitimate top 6 forward, meaning they got their first and second centers in that trade. Add Tkatchuk to the mix, who developed into the heart of the team, and there was enough hope for hometown Claude Giroux to want to jump on that ship this off-season when he was a highly touted free agent. Five years later, there is hope in Ottawa

    I'd love to see one of these on the 2006 Hurricanes. Took 5 years to go from Cup Champions to a franchise stuck in a decade of deep mediocrity and irrelevance until Dundon bought the team, including a run to the ECF in 2009 that led to an eventual Pens sweep and a 2010 campaign in which a final day regular season loss to Tampa Bay cost them the playoffs.

    Secret Base: Remember when the Sens were good?
    Me: Not really no.
    Secret Base: Yeah, ok it was mostly luck.

    overall I enjoyed the video but I really would’ve liked it if you touched on where the team is going. For example that “head scratching” pick of Brady Tkachuk is now the team’s captain and a 30 goal scorer. Or that the “terrible” Karlsson trade gave us 35 goal scorer Josh Norris and the 3rd overall pick of Tim Stützle who in my opinion is one of the most gifted players this franchise has had. While I understand its a collapse video, all this stuff is in the rear view and the team is on the up. It needs more justice than just saying we have a good young core
