As the Ottawa Senators approach the end of their season, the team is determined to maintain a high level of motivation and effort. With only five games left, the Senators are not willing to fall short on what they call the “give-a-crap factor.”
This phrase, coined by head coach D.J. Smith, refers to the team’s desire to compete and give their all in every game. Despite being out of playoff contention, the Senators are determined to finish the season strong and build momentum for the future.
“We want to make sure we’re playing hard and playing for each other,” said Smith. “We don’t want to just go through the motions and finish the season. We want to show that we care and that we’re building something here.”
The Senators have had a challenging season, with a record of 22-31-5. However, they have shown flashes of potential and have been able to compete with some of the top teams in the league. This has given the team confidence and motivation to continue pushing forward.
“We know we have a young team and we’re still learning,” said forward Brady Tkachuk. “But we want to show that we’re a team that never gives up and always plays with heart.”
The Senators have also received support from their fans, who have continued to show up and cheer on the team despite their record. This has not gone unnoticed by the players, who are grateful for the unwavering support.
“Our fans have been amazing all season,” said defenseman Thomas Chabot. “They deserve to see us give our best effort every night, and that’s what we’re going to do.”
As the Senators prepare for their final five games, they are determined to finish the season on a high note and show that they are a team to be reckoned with in the future. With the “give-a-crap factor” in full effect, the Senators are ready to give it their all and end the season on a positive note.
