They lost their composure from the head coach down. That's the problem with Therrien he is a good coach but he's unstable and will crack. It's not a matter of if but when. He's a short shelf life coach that will bring success initially but when things start going bad so does he. Wait until next year if things don't go nearly as well for the team as he will turn the dressing room upside down like he did with the Penguins.
MacLean never got caught up in the petty stuff and it showed as the Senators remained focused on the task at hand.
