On Humility

Ottawa has its tulip festival; Kemptville has the dandelion one. In the all-too Canadian competition for most humble-sounding festival, Kemptville wins.
During childhood, you hear kids bragging that "their father is stronger than yours" to which the next kid answers "My father is a policeman" - the Ottawa schoolyard variety goes: "My father is a politician". You can't get any humbler.
Does that explain the Senators crushing defeat? I am sure it will be part of the speculations that we will read/hear in the next little while as hurt fans come to grip with the grim reality that is theirs.
