(Ed. Note: As the Stanley Cup Playoffs continue, we're bound to lose some friends along the journey. We've asked for these losers, gone but not forgotten, to be eulogized by the people who knew the teams best: The bloggers who hated them the most.

By Andrew Berkshire and Mike Obrand

Hello and welcome as we bid adieu to the most blissfully unaware and naval-gazing organization in pro sports, the 2012-13 Ottawa Shenatorsh.

The reaction around most of the NHL when the news came out that the Sens were eliminated was a mildly confused “There’s a team in Ottawa?”

Yes, my friends, there is a team there, although Canada’s Phoenix Coyotes aren’t really located in Ottawa, they play in Kanata, which is actually quite far away from Ottawa.

When awarded an expansion NHL franchise on Dec. 6, 1990, the Senators faced an extreme uphill battle to create a fanbase in an area dominated by both Leafs and Habs fans. 20 years after their first NHL season in 1992-93, Ottawa remains a city dominated by Habs and Leafs fans. Perhaps that’s why the franchise and fanbase has such a hilarious inferiority complex.

To make matters worse for the desperately reaching fanbase, the Senators have completely failed to create a team identity outside of being generally boring to watch for their entire history. This is especially troublesome when their division has four other teams with strong identities.

The Montreal Canadiens: Small and skilled

The Boston Bruins: Big and physical

The Toronto Maple Leafs: Terrible at hockey

The Buffalo Sabres: Annoying cheap shot artists

The Senators had an opportunity to give themselves an identity early on in their history, with five straight top-three picks, which netted them the most hated player in franchise history, the most well-known bust in NHL history, another huge bust with a mullet, a player who’s best known for having his eye carved out by another Ottawa Senator, and Chris Phillips.

Not exactly a glorious start to a franchise, and probably why one of the most notable players in the team’s history is Chris Neil.

Neil is the gum in your hair of the NHL, a player every team has, but no one cares about. A player like that being the second most well-known face in your team’s history would be like the Habs (or three other teams he played for) lionizing Todd Ewen.

You’re probably thinking “who the hell is Todd Ewen?” and that’s exactly the point. Todd Ewen is a real person who played NHL hockey but you had to Google him to find out who he was… That’s exactly what you’re going to be doing with Chris Neil in a few years. And besides, players of note don’t wear their children’s helmets.

Neil at his most recent contract signing looking suspiciously like Adebesi from HBO’s "Oz."

Even though they spent the first half of their existence rolling around in the sewage of the NHL, the Senators did find one diamond in the rough to make up for all the garbage they drafted when diamonds were available yearly on silver platters. That player is Daniel Alfredsson, who might have a shot at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
