Senators head home down but not out facing 2-0 series deficit vs. Hurricanes

RALEIGH, N.C. — There was no hiding the frustration and disappointment among the Ottawa Senators moments after a heartbreaking overtime loss in a building they had come so close to silencing on multiple occasions.Veteran forward Claude Giroux scowled as he walked past the media horde waiting to enter the visiting dressing room, heading to an exercise area to cool down. When the Senators’ best players took questions, disappointment and fatigue dripped from their voices. As Drake Batherson answered questions, a loud “f—!” rang out from a nearby room. Even Senators GM Steve Staios was in no mood, walking down the Lenovo Center hallway toward the exits so he could board a team bus to the airport.Advertisement
