Senators' storybook season still has a happy ending

There was no Stanley Cup at the end of the road for the 2014-15 Ottawa Senators, no on-ice celebration. Instead, there was just a loss in the first round to end their 2015 playoff run and standing ovation from a disappointed yet appreciative crowd to send Ottawa off the ice for the final time.

But these Senators still have a lot to be proud of and a lot to be happy with after this season. Chris Johnston of SportsNet summarized Ottawa's finale beautifully in his post-game piece:

And thus Ottawa's season ends without the hardware all NHL teams desire but with the satisfaction still of a job well done.
