Anderson will remember one thing about Sens' magical season: 'Love'

Craig Anderson just about willed the Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup Final.

The goaltender turned in another marvelous performance in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final on Thursday night, but it wasn't enough, Ottawa falling 3-2 in double overtime to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

After a tumultuous season that saw Anderson's wife Nicholle diagnosed with cancer, and led to the shot-stopper missing significant time away from the team, Anderson put it perfectly when asked how he'd remember the 2016-17 season.

Anderson on how he'll remember #Sens run, season: "Love. Just the love that this team had, from the start, from the second I left the team."

The Senators embodied the word "team" in every sense of the word, ending the playoffs 6-2 in overtime games, and coming oh so close to playing for the sport's ultimate prize.

Salute, Mr. Anderson. You were incredible, all season long, on and off the ice.
