The Sens "played" the Sharks on Sunday afternoon in a game that experts described as "bad." The Senators actually outplayed the Sharks for most of the game, but were failed early by Craig Anderson, and made a few costly defensive errors.

Instead of the usual summary format, I've decided to summarize the game in haiku form to appropriately summarize my sadness. I also asked people on Twitter to submit their own. Grab a tissue.



Thanks to Thanks to @davethetaxman for the suggestion, as well as his haiku:

For Sens Sharks game summary

Epicness ensues

Bonk's Mullet Haikus

Weak shot from the point But Anderson bobbles it Ninja Hertl scores

Sens afternoon game Western conference opponent Down by two early

Zack Smith and Chris Neil Playing the wings for Z-Bad #FreeMika again



Erik Karlsson scores

Top cheese slapshot past Stalock

The Norris glistens

Zack Smith lost helmet Female Sens fans swoon more than For young Wade Redden

New look power play Four forwards and one Karlsson Shorthanded Goal. Shit.

Spezza behind net Pulls off a real miracle Gets Methot a goal

Spezza and Cowen Leave Pavelski alone for Goal Condra would score



With minutes to go

With the Sens down five to two

Mass crowd exodus



Haikus from the fine people of Twitter

Kevin Lee ( @BringBackLee ) had an obstructed view of only one half of the ice.

Erik Karlsson goal

Assist by Erik Karlsson

Erik Karlsson best

Lewy Smith ( @P_LSmith ) brings us this one in the second period, when there was still hope.

This one started bad

But the Sens bounced back just like

Anderson's rebounds

Alex Klages ( @AlexKlages ) looks on the bright side.

Karlsson scored a goal

Neil went down hard - Improvement?

Sharks are a good team

Michael Slavitch ( @Kerfluffer ) considers hiring an exorcist.

How bad are the Sens

Really, really, really bad

The curse of Alfie?

Capital Gains ( @Capital_Gains65 ) gets philosophical.

Light a mup mup mup

Light a mup mup mup oh oh

Light a mup mup mup

Travis Yost ( @TravisHeHateMe ) on the attendance figures.

Sellouts I predict

United in guarantees

0 for 4 to start

Robyn Lamont ( @RobynLaroo ) doesn't follow the 5-7-5 format, but Rob[i]ns don't play by the rules.

Karlsson mainlines perfect energy

Methot converts to red light

I'll take Z-Bad with Z-Good

Someone please check on Tynan ( @TynanV

As the days go by

This team makes me want to die

Why, oh why, oh why

Chet Sellers ( @chet_sellers ) whips out some positives.

Ottawa played well

If games weren't three periods

Joe kept it in

Sascha Adler ( @SaschaAdler ) channels the spirit of the West.

Fly, crisp mountain wind

Da lil Guy ( @DLGHockey ) brings us some sophisticated analysis.

Zack Smith most icetime

Spezza had less than Mika

Cowen is not good
