[@ericbrewerguitar1499]

Pens fan here, looking at this 2 years later - in retrospect we stole your Stanley Cup, and I’m sorry about that. The Sens would have beat the Preds handily, prob in 6. Unfortunately, injuries to Karlsson and Brass made an impact and Ottawa had nothing left in the tank in the overtime periods of game 7. They fought admirably in their final stand but the Pens just seemed hungrier for the winning goal and we got it (I do think the better team won but it literally could’ve gone either way.) Prob the only series I can think of in my 20 + years of being a Pens fan that I actually felt bad for being on the winning side. Now my 2nd favorite team, The Blues, have claimed Lord Stanley and I feel even more spoiled. It saddens me that this Sens team was ripped apart by moronic ownership but there is a lot of great young talent in the pipeline and the Senators will be back

[@Rjamojam54321]

You might be the first Pens fan to feel bad for a win...I mean the win put them into the finals for the 2nd straight year...and you felt bad? You sir are not a true Pens fan

[@ericbrewerguitar1499]

Ma Jo Ma Jr sure I am bud. So what if as a fan I felt a little guilty we got to the finals two years in a row but considering the Pens have done that in 91-92, 08-09 and 16-17, going to the finals back to back is what the Pens do. But I felt a little bad for the Sens, they were quite a story with Anderson’s wife’s cancer and Clark MacArthur’s return, plus Karlsson playing on a broken foot. Obviously I do not feel bad we won the Cup again.

Man, that run was magical. The double OT goal by the Pens was such a deflating goal. The memories are awesome, though. Everyone on that Sens team really gelled together. I don't think they had any business going as far as they did, but sometimes teams just work together and power through, which is what Ottawa did. Had they reached the Finals, I'm sure they had the odds of taking that Cup home.

[@ChrisTraveler]

I watch this every September. 7th year. Hoping to watch new highlights next year.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

MY 2017 PLAYOFF STORY Going in, I thought "I hope they somehow manage to upset the Bruins so they can play the Habs in round 2". I was helping out with some job training during that series, and spent 10 days binge-watching round 1 from my hotel room in Montreal. All I was hoping for was the chance to be a Sens fan buried deep in enemy territory, as I fondly remembered being in 2013. By the end of the first round, I forgot that the Canadiens even existed. The intensity of that series against the Bruins was just incredible - I injured myself twice following OT victory celebrations. To me, it exemplified precisely what life is like as a Sens fan: being annoyed by sloppy play, being stunned in awe by explosive highlight reel goals, dreading late-game leads while expecting late-game comebacks. Even to a seasoned fan like me, who's been around their entire lifetime, heart failure remains a serious risk... Every series started the same (fearing the worst against heavily-favored opponents, hoping for a string of miracles) and each winning series ended the same (breathing a huge sigh of a relief, shaking my head in amazement). For me, the loss against the Penguins was way more heartbreaking than losing in the finals in 2007. Unlike ten years prior, the second-last opponent was, in my opinion, the toughest one in the entire lineup - far tougher than the Ducks or Preds. In my head, beating the Penguins meant winning the cup. Given the modest hopes I started out with, seeing Game 7 in the ECF go to overtime was a huge accomplishment in itself. I had a sick feeling that the hockey gods wouldn't let us get the necessary bounce. They didn't...those bastards! When Kunitz ended the series with what I felt was one of the weakest scoring chances in the whole game, my heart sank in a way I couldn't hide. I was working during that game, patrolling the floor in a poker room, and the game was being shown on big-screen TVs plastered every five feet along the walls. When upper management saw my reaction to the goal, they immediately replaced me and gave me a 2-hour "dinner break" to mourn the loss of my team's playoff hopes. When I got to the bar, there was a Corona waiting for me - ordered for me secretly by another manager. This run will be one I remember fondly, and your video drew tears from me in several spots. Most of the pain has faded now, and even by the time the finals started, I found myself rooting for Pittsburgh to finish with a repeat. The fact that the Sens even got through the first round is something I'm proud of them for doing. But to also get past NYR and then push the defending champs to the brink of elimination is a fantastic result. Despite my 26-year unshakable love for the Senators, my love for hockey is greater. These playoffs saw some unbelievable displays of skill, and that's what matters more. I'll never forget those ten days in the hotel during round one, following eight series simultaneously between tidal waves of bong hits, beers, hockey-loving visitors, and ready-made food plates.
