This season would see the Senators again finish with over 100 points, finishing with 102, but this was good for only third in the tightly-contested division, as the Boston Bruins would have 104 and the Toronto Maple Leafs 103. Ottawa would meet Toronto in the first-round of the playoffs for the fourth time, where the Maple Leafs would win the series 4–3 to end the Senators' playoff hopes. Ottawa would fire head coach Jacques Martin after the playoff round. Offseason On June 21, 2003, assistant coach Roger Neilson died after four years of battling cancer.Hall of Fame coach Neilson dead at 69 - UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2003/06/21/Hall-of-Fame-coach-Neilson-dead-at-69/42301056235523/ UPI October 1, 2024 June 21, 2003 The Senators would wear a patch on their jerseys with an illustration of his signature and a necktie. Neilson would often wear distinctive neckties and the necktie became associated with him, and also became the symbol for "Roger's House", a residence for the use of families with a family member fighting cancer while in hospital, established by him and the Senators. On August 26, 2003, Eugene Melnyk purchased the club to bring financial stability. Regular season Marian Hossa lead the club in scoring with 82 points, good enough for sixth overall in the NHL. Highlights On February 5, 2004, the Senators were playing the Toronto Maple Leafs and were leading 4–0 in the second period. The flu started affecting players on the Senators leading the team to be down to only 15 skaters by the end of the game. The Maple Leafs took full advantage and won the game 5–4 in overtime.National Post February 6, 2004 Senators sick over loss Panzeri Allen S1 On March 5, 2004, in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers, a record was set for the most penalty minutes in a game by both teams, at 419 minutes.

By now, Ottawa had developed a strong rivalry with their Ontario cousins and there was a great deal of pressure on the team to finally defeat the Leafs. Two days after the Senators' loss, head coach Jacques Martin was fired, and goaltender Patrick Lalime was later traded to the St. Louis Blues.Ottawa Senators fire Jacques Martin - UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2004/04/22/Ottawa-Senators-fire-Jacques-Martin/67391082668596/ UPI October 1, 2024 April 22, 2004 Martin had been coach of the Senators for eight-and-a-half years. He was well respected, earned a 341–255–96 regular season record with the Senators, had led the team to eight consecutive playoff appearances and was widely credited with changing the team into an elite NHL franchise. He also won the Jack Adams Trophy as coach of the year in 1999. However, after losing eight of 12 playoff series, including all four series in five years against the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, Senators ownership felt that a new coach was required for playoff success.
