Senators laugh their way to win over Habs
Ottawa celebrated early and often
Things started off great for the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 against the Montreal Canadians at Bell Centre and they were loving every minute of it.
The fans in Montreal probably didn't appreciate it as much in what amounted to a 5-1 victory for the visitors.
Bobby Ryan wasn't exactly trying to contain his excitement after opening the scoring to give the Senators a 1-0 lead.
