by Steve On Sens and Bonk's Mullet
The Mullet: "Hey Steve, seeing as how bad this season has been, it seems only fitting if you do the summary to end the year"
Steve: "I don't know..."
The Mullet: "I'll snag you a Paddy's Pub keychain from the Philly airport next time I'm in Ottawa"
Steve: "You're a good man Doty. I'll do it."
1st Period
16:42 - Robin Lehner makes a save off of a deflected puck. Chris Cuthbert refers to him as "The Lehner". We liked "The Lehner" before it was mainstream.
5:14 - Jussi Jokinen redirects a pass that squeaks through Lehner. Goal horn goes on about 10 seconds late. Poor guy probably fell asleep. 1-0 Pittsburgh
Seconds later - NHL GameCenter notifies me that the schedules for the playoffs have been released.
1:21 - Kyle Turris beats Zatkoff with a shot that appears to catch him off guard. At least he beat his 2048 score on the play. 1-1
0:10 - Erik Karlsson gets hit in the mouth with a Beau Bennett stick...Karlsson still looks très Beau! Colin Greening gets a penalty.
Intermission Report - Apparently chewing tobacco flew out of Karlsson's mouth after getting hit with the stick. Another reason why @wheelingprobs loves him.
2nd Period
We'll save you some time here. Two notable events take place in the second:
14:44 Lee Stempniak tips a Beau Bennett shot that beats Lehner. 2-1 Pittsburgh
2:44 - After some pretty passing on the power play, Mark Stone buries a rebound. 2-2
3rd Period
Editor's Note: Bonk's Mullet decided to spare Steve from the pain of summarizing this game and to turn to Twitter for material for the rest of the summary.
@ian_mendes @BonksMullet 1 out of 1 twitter doctors recommend Zatkoff. Side effects include smiling Bylsma, and not having to dress Fleury.

What a great one-two punch!
2. Reading BonksMullet.com. Seriously, we'll be here all summer!
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
Sens fans also took to Twitter to thank everyone for following along all season.
@BonksMullet Can you include the reason you never Paypal'd me the money for the bedazzling of your fanny pack?? FAX ME
— Steph (@PuckPossessed) April 14, 2014
Well Steph, the bedazzling job was shoddy as Robin Lehner's eyebrows fell off after one wear!
@BonksMullet can you include the season's average Neilsi % ( successful wraparounds vs. Offsides per game)
— Dan (@SensFanDan) April 14, 2014
Neilsi% is actually calculated as (Leadership + Offsides + Failed wraparounds) / Scoring chances. Neil's Neilsi% is... DIV0 ERROR.
@BonksMullet If you're not paying @chet_sellers, then how is he in a new tropical destination every second weekend?
— Zach (@MightyMcAllster) April 14, 2014
Excellent question Zach! Chet is actually wanted in seven countries for his involvement in an off-shore banking scandal. Lucky for him, all seven countries believe he is a Nigerian prince.
@BonksMullet you could provide ideas of what I should do for the next four months. New hobbies for sens fans?

And some decided to recount their favourite 2013-2014 memories.
The time we lost 2 pre-season games in the same day to the Islanders #SensMemories
— Steve On Sens (@SteveOnSens) April 14, 2014
Oh yeah, the game! In what seems like a microcosm of the whole season, this one is dragged out way longer than anyone would ever hope for. We're off to a shootout!

PittsburghBennett - Misses
Jokinen - Misses
