Cameron spoke to Ottawa Morning host Robyn Bresnahan on Tuesday about the team's wild ride to the playoffs.

What did the standing ovation from Sens fans after the elimination feel like?

"I think we all realize here in Ottawa that at the end of the day you want to win every game you play, but the real appreciation comes from as long as you empty your tank and put in an honest effort, most people will be pleased. So it was nice to see that," Cameron said.

The season is over now. How do you describe it?

"Probably the best word is lonely. In this business ... it's like you're going 100 miles an hour and regardless of how your year ends, it ends abruptly. ... It's a shock and you have that empty feeling, you have that kind of lost feeling, what am I going to do? But it's easy to recover from that when your team empties its tank for you and the city's behind you, for sure," he said.

How often to you think about all the what-ifs, such as different calls by referees or Craig Anderson in goal for Game 2?

"That's what we do. We gather the information and we make our decisions and you end up living and dying by them. But I think that's what makes this job so addictive, just getting in and sitting down and playing most games 100 times actually before the puck drops. That's the intriguing part of it."
