Oskar Lindblom beat cancer and returned to play in this postseason. Bobby Ryan overcame alcoholism and scored a hat trick in his return. Be happy for both of their accomplishments and don't measure what they had to endure against one another.

- It puts you in the same boat as Ottawa.
- Shout-out to all of the Bell Media employees who were affected by the sweeping layoffs last year.
- Auston Matthews has two years left before UFA. If that's your window of contention, you've got to have a serious set of stones to spend those two years relying Matt Murray as your goaltender.
- Brady Tkachuk snuck past the Vancouver defence like they were Montreal drafting third overall.
- Five former Senators lead their respective teams in scoring: Silfverberg, Hoffman, Duchene, Zibanejad and Stone.
- Eugene Melnyk has a ton of audacity. This hockey market saved the man's life and he's talking like it still owes something.
- I've got some news. It took 129 people and 2 hours and 51 minutes to surpass $5,000 in donations for @TrilliumGift. You've done it Twitter, you've raised more money for organ donations than Melnyk's Organ Project and I'm not even remotely near the end of my mentions.
- This broadcast misses Brent Wallace.
- Anytime you can turn Cody Ceci into a more expensive and long-term version of Cody Ceci, you've got to do it.TOR and OTT appear to have a tentative trade in place that would send Nikita Zaitsev to OTT in exchange for Cody Ceci. There may be another part or parts to it but the deal can’t be finalized until July 1, when TOR pays Zaitsev’s $3M signing bonus.
- A month and a half later...Ridly Greig is unreal. At some point, he's going to enrage an opponent into doing something incredibly stupid.
- Between 2016-2019, the Senators made nine first or second round selections. Brady Tkachuk is the only one on the roster currently.
Anthony Duclair and the Panthers are a perfect match. “To have the owner and general manager support whatever I want to do off the ice and to have that in the back of my mind is obviously refreshing.” My column on a great relationship in South Florida. theathletic.com/2400238/2021/0…
