MONTREAL --
The Montreal Canadiens were guilty of too many self-inflicted wounds they could not overcome as their multiple comeback bids fell short in last night’s 6-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
To the neutral observer, last night’s Habs loss to the Sens must have been highly entertaining: turnovers galore, numerous scrums after the whistle and nine goals split between the two teams.
Canadiens fans, though, were surely less than thrilled that their team followed up two dominant performances with a stinker that, despite their struggles, was there for the taking.
“We were kind of just chasing the game the whole game today,” said Tyler Toffoli, after scoring on his return to the lineup following a two-week layoff due to injury. “Obviously Gally didn’t mean to do it…from then on we were chasing it. That’s not the recipe for success in any game against any team.”
