Guy Boucher: Senators 5-1 loss to Predators worst game of the season
OTTAWA — Guy Boucher called the Ottawa Senators’ 5-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday night their worst game of the season.
“This is the second time we’ve been terrible against Nashville,” said Boucher. “I don’t know if we’re allergic to them or something.”
While Boucher was able to laugh at the comment there was nothing funny about the Senators play. From start to finish, the Predators were the better team and out-worked Ottawa in every area.
“Right off the bat our turnovers killed us in the first period,” said Boucher. “We’re letting the opponent wear us down in the first period and then you play catch up hockey because of that.
