OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators are carrying a "why not us?" attitude into the Eastern Conference Second Round against the New York Rangers beginning with Game 1 at Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; CNBC, CBC, TVA Sports).
"I think I've had that [attitude] all year," defenseman Erik Karlsson said Tuesday. "I think everybody has had that all year. It's just been a long process of getting to where we are today. We've worked extremely hard to be standing here today. We still have a lot left to do.
