It’s almost always intriguing to see how a team responds to a tough playoff loss, but that fascination spikes even more if said team fell by an especially lopsided score.
We’ve seen the Pittsburgh Penguins respond to some blowouts with big wins, but now the shoe is on the other foot; how will the Ottawa Senators rebound from the 7-0 shellacking they suffered in Game 5?
Well, if you ask Guy Boucher, they’ve developed a track record that shows they’re willing to fight with their backs against the wall.
Boucher on @TSN1200: "There are 3 things you can do when facing adversity. You can fight, freeze or fly away. We've always chosen to fight."

Great stuff, right? It’s honestly too bad that Boucher’s defensive system isn’t always as entertaining as his quotes.
