There was no spark or motivation driving the Sens this playoff. From the start of game 4, there was not the same energy that gave the Sens a chance to win game 3.It was painfully obvious that their best players were not motivated to perform. Though Daniel Alfredsson's round-1 return was indeed heroic, it seemed that his team expected him to win the series single-handedly.
Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley were barely noticeable on the ice. This led Bryan Murray to play Antoine Vermette and Dean McAmmond (deservingly) late in the game.
From TSN.ca
Martin Gerber's play has been solid for the Senators, but TSN hockey analyst Darren Pang believes he's got a serious flaw....He's not a great goaltender?
Certainly the whole team screwed the pooch throughout the series... including Gerber. He was barely in the net for the Penguins second goal. The Pens hit two posts and got numerous second chances from rebounds.
Couple weak goaltending with porous defence and invisible offence and you've just defined the Ottawa Senators 2007-08 playoffs.
Oh, and to end it on a nice note: Goodbye Wade Redden. I hope you die.

Really Die? This is not a hockey stance more a religious nut comment. Something more like "I hope you play for Toronto" is appropriate.
I am going out on a limb Anonymous but I am guessing it was said tongue in cheek.
My religion IS hating Wade Redden.
Redden or Chara....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
It's very sad how obvious the answer to that question has become in these past two years.
I really don't think there was much question as to which Dman was more valuable when you compare Redden and Chara. Chara is one of the top 5 Dmen in the league and has been for 5 years. Wade never fit in that class. The question was always "how much we were willing to pay the big man", and was the difference of a million dollars worth is to stick with Redds. Personally, I would have given the $6.5 million to Chara and not Redden, but I don't think Chara was willing to play for that. I wanted no part of his $7.5 million salary. Call me short-sighted.
