An Ottawa Senators fan who went viral for a video hyping up the team's playoff run has joked that he got "banished" to Taiwan for cursing the team with his Sens-themed playoff songs.

The team posted a video of Kyle Ivan Wednesday in Taipei saying the team wanted him as far away as possible from the Canadian Tire Centre for game three against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Ahead of the playoffs, Ivan posted a video on multiple social media platforms parodying Eminem's Without Me which got hundreds of thousands of views.

The Sens then lost the first two games and fans decided that Ivan's song was a jinx.

On Thursday, the Sens posted a new video of Ivan saying he had been "banished" by the team to Taiwan to get him as far away from the players as possible.

A spokesperson from the Senators says the team didn't really send Ivan to Taiwan themselves, but with him actually being there they decided to lean into it.
