It's tradition!

The 2008 Annual Ottawa Senators Playoff Collapse is now complete! Congratulations, Pittsburgh Penguins!!


Congratulations, Pens. It was only a matter of time before somebody beat the Senators. It is the playoffs and all.


Exactly. The history of the Ottawa Senators franchise is a tale of playoff woe that stretches all the way back to 1996.


Ancient history...


Since the 96-97 season, the Senators have qualified for the playoffs 11 consecutive years, finishing with over 100 regular season points 6 times, and winning the President's Trophy for best regular season point total once. Each time, they have come up short in their quest for Lord Stanley's Cup, often failing miserably....6 times (including this season) being bounced in the first round of the Playoffs. This is terrible.


Speaking of Terrible...does the lack of Dunder Mifflin quote mean there's no Office today?


Oh, not at all! It's simply a matter of one tradition taking precedent over another, so the Senators Playoff Collapse message had to be run today. Rest assured...in my best Inigo Montoya impression..."There will be Office TONIGHT!"

...to be followed tonight by the Boston Bruins' semi-annual, usually occasional, yet definite, playoff collapse.
