If we get a new scoreboard now it will be dated by the time the 2 - 3 timeframe expires. Maybe we are getting a new scoreboard for the AllStar game AND an updated one for 3 years away is being ordered to make sure we never have a dated scoreboard again?

Intriguing. They want it to last 14 years though. Square the circle for me please.

Yes, they want it to last. But the discriminating and knowledgeable Ottawa hockey fan demands the latest scoreboard technology and will be whining for a new one in about 14 months.

I can't speak for the discriminating and knowledgeable Ottawa hockey fan but I do believe having a replacement scoreboard, for a 14 plus year old one, in time for your 20th anniversary season, when plans are in place for a new one anyway, and in time for the All Star game is not only a good idea it only makes sense. I'll leave it to the experts though.

Good ideas that make sense cost real money and this is a business.

Indeed. Better to save money and do a poor job representing/marketing your team and your city. win win for sure. It definitely won't affect the bottom line.

Just keep telling fans how smart they are and hope they fall for it:

"What's important here: The one thing everybody in the organization realizes is that Ottawa fans are some of the most sophisticated in the league. They know their hockey,"

I found this amusing when it happened and I still find it amusing. What a fiasco.

The thing is it would have been just as bad or worse had the microphone been working properly. hahaha

If that had gone off without a hitch, it would simply be embarassing. The malfunctions just made it funny.

It was truly a low-point in Senators history. I was in attendance for that debacle, and I remember saying to my buddy, "Are you seeing this? Is this really happening?"

The crowd reaction was even better...sheer, utter befuddlement.

Proof positive that the Sens marketing team is a collection of 6-year-olds strung out on glue and markers.

You give them too much intelligence.
