It's Halloween! The Ottawa Senators held their annual Halloween party last night following their shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Like any good Halloween party, the Sens held a contest to determine who wore the best costume to the party. The person or group of people with the highest score was crowned the victor and given a prize personally selected by Eugene Melnyk**. The scoring was split up into two categories:
Costume Creativeness: Between 0 and 10 points
Costume Scariness: Between 0 and 10 points
Judges: Paul MacLean, Bryan Murray, and Eugene Melnyk.
