## Resource

On the Thursday edition of the Tall Can Audio we're pumped to share with you the second half of our conversation with Julian McKenzie of The Athletic talking all things Ottawa Senators. It was a roller coaster of a season for the Sens featuring a ridiculous number of injuries, controversy around their starting goalie, a pile of noise around captain Brady Tkachuk, certain segments of the fanbase coming after the media and it all ending with a sweep at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes. So the question has to be asked. Was this a good, bad or indifferent year for the organization? And where do they go from here? We'll get in to all of it with Julian inside this one.
