For the first time since 2007, the Ottawa Senators punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference final after defeating the New York Rangers in six games.

The Sens not only represent Ottawa, but all of Canada as they attempt to become the first Canadian team to win a Stanley Cup in 24 years.

As you can imagine, Senators fans were extremely excited after the Game 6 win, but they were also responsible in the way they went about celebrating.

Aside from partying in the streets, Sens fans also stayed up until 1:30 in the morning to greet their team at the airport after the win.

Hundreds of fans showed up to greet the Sens which made for an incredible moment.

 


This is nothing new for the players, either, as fans showed up the airport to welcome the team home after they won their first round series in Boston.

We imagine the number of people that show up to greet the team will only grow the farther they go.
