These are the two worst teams this could happen to. Remember yesterday’s playoff preview? My prediction for this series was “Something ridiculously controversial will happen in this series, and two hypersensitive fan bases are going to lose their freaking minds over it.” Yeah, that didn’t take long.
There’s no nice way to put this: There may not be a combination of teams in the league that are any worse suited to handle this kind of situation. Montreal fans and media are obsessed with the team’s history and status, yet weirdly predisposed to view everything through the lens of shadowy conspiracy; Senators fans and media are almost cripplingly insecure about their place in the hockey world and prone to overreact to even the tiniest controversies. That’s an awfully bad pairing for this sort of thing, and if you’re not directly rooting for one of the teams involved in this series, you may want to just check out now. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
