Is it really a "Collapse" if they were the underdog?
I guess that's a point worth making, but the fact that the Senators choke in the playoffs every year.
Not last year. They didn't even qualify.
Is that really worth ruining a perfectly good annual Sametime Status?
Is anything worth NOT ruining your Sametime Status?
Honestly...probably not. But...the point is, I started this tradition a couple years ago, celebrating the end of the Senators' season. It's not that I have something against the Senators' team, or Ottawa in general (I've been there....it's nice)...but I found it amusing to note that while they always field a very good team, finishing with over 100 points in 5 of the last 10 seasons, leading the league one of those, they never manage to win the whole show. This year is no exception, finishing 5th in the Eastern Conference, and facing the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. The last time Ottawa made the playoffs was in 2008, when they finished 7th in the East and had to play...uhm....the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. Seems familiar...

I would've said that the Sabres had the bigger playoff collapse, but the Capitals may eclipse that Wednesday night.
