Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

Sens are getting some bad press in Toronto in regards to blocking seat sales to Leaf fans...

"It all sounds preposterous coming from a franchise that was bankrupt a decade ago and plays in a middle-of-nowhere parking-lot rat shack where, by my eyewitness estimation, a half-hearted R.I.D.E. sweep could land great numbers of its car-bound faithful a roadside suspension or worse."

Cost? Silf I'd rather not, i don't care what anyone says.

Is it bad that I thought the same thing?

Dung, tim Murray getting consideration for the GM job in Columbus apparently.

Sounds like jarmo kakaleinen will get it. Phew.

Sure, let them come but don't make it easy. Why should you be able to purchase tickets in Toronto? You want to come to Ottawa? Buy the tickets here too. It also inflates the cost for scalpers. There are enough Leaf fans in Ottawa to fill that place up anyways.

That's because you live half way to Montreal. Go cheer for the Habs, you east-ender. Kanata is not in the middle of nowhere. Maybe 15 years ago, when they were building it. You've got lots and lots of houses all around now. Used to be ampty between Kanata and Stittsville, now there is no break. They've really built it up, well, at least on the South side of the highway.

And whoever wrote this is trying oh-so-hard to be clever. The comment about the RIDE sweep -- well those are mostly Leafs fans -- and that's by *my* eyewitness estimation.

What really bugs me is when Leafs fans boo Alfredsson in his own arena. I'd have no problem accidentally spilling a beer on such a *fan* (except who could afford that). And when dumb, clueless Habs fans start singing "Ole ole" five minutes into the game, well, let's try to make an honest assessment of who the RIDE sweep would likely be picking up.

They do the same thing in Pitt with Flyer fans so why can't Ottawa do it? Take the building back, this is step 1.

I agree something has to be done about taking the building back, but find it strange that the Sens block sales from a business POV. Whatever, I'd never attend one of those games anyway, not for all the tea in China. I'd be in jail for murder.

If they have to rely on other teams' fans for business this franchise is in big Cussing trouble.

This wouldn't be in issue if they had just built the arena in Lebreton Flats... Bloody diddlers!!! We'd dominate that arena, and our fans would be more boisterous as a lot of them would be drunk!

This is Cussing stupid. Take back the building, yes, but not like this. Embarrassing. No doubt dreamed up by the same guys that gave us The Gladiator debacle. Fire the entire PR team. Now.



EDIT: Have any Season's Ticket Holder's confirmed that they have received this email? Postings on HFB by STH's say they have not received it.

Matt Frattin out on Saturday night as well.

The Sens should be able to step it up in a big time tilt with the Leafs with Reimer and Frattin out come Saturday night. Basically their best 2 players have gone down, need to get those 2 points for sure.

It's hard to take that guy seriously with insult after insult regarding the building, the location and even the people driving out after the game. Give me a break and stick with facts.

Gotta win that game. No Reimer, no Lupul, no Frattin...
