The Ottawa Senators have been mercifully put out of their misery this postseason, being swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in four straight. Aside from Linus Ullmark, who had been standing on his head, the team was not been up to the challenge this year.

Insider Frank Seravalli appeared on The Big Show with Rusi...
