Silver Nuggets: New Year's Resolutions
2013 was a mix of good and bad for the Senators: injuries, unexpected playoff success, roster turnover, slow starts, and big trades. Hoping for better in 2014? Here are some Senators-related New Year's resolutions for the second-half of the season.
- Spezza: Work on serious face
- Ryan: Come in hotter
- Condra: Hit the net at least once a game
- MacLean: Try a new line combination every game
- Z. Smith: Stop giving a crap so much
- Lehner: Find the biggest game in the world and hunt it
- Gryba: Go hunting with Lehner
- Karlsson: Get sicker flow
- Melnyk: Build TWO casinos
- Murray: Figure out who this "Mup" everyone is talking about and then sign him.
- Tim Murray: Smile once.
- Team: listen to the crowd and shooooooooooot
If you're celebrating tonight, please drink responsibly, be safe, and have a good time!
