Sens GM pauses when asked what he's optimistic about

Another awkward interview moment for the Ottawa Senators' front office.

Just over a week after team owner Eugene Melnyk gave an uncomfortable interview with defenseman Mark Borowiecki, Senators general manager Pierre Dorion spoke to Sportsnet's Dave Amber and Elliotte Friedman during the first intermission of Tuesday's preseason contest between the Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Things appeared to be going well until Amber asked Dorion what he's optimistic about this season, causing the general manager to pause before answering.
