Pre-Game Talk: Outdoor Game 2017 OTT-MTL

[Pothier]

Yeah there were quite a few of us at BC Place, was a fun event and great game. Looking forward to experiencing a "real" outdoor game in a few weeks.

Got the tickets in the mail last week, the NHL nailed it with the design. I suspect there will be protective sleeves for the tickets leading up to the game. The league almost always has them made and available for the marquee events.

They're talking alumni game on tsn1200 but I didn't hear any specific names. Shouldn't a roster be out soon/now?

Team Alfie vs team Phillips. But it's gonna be at Parliament Hill, not TD Place.

2 weeks to g0

two weeks to go an they still wont sell tickets to non season ticket holders?
It is going to be f***ing embarrassing when they dont sell out a game like this. Worse than not selling out playoff games.

Alumni game, a lot of great Sens players. And its free:

Senators share the game plan for Parliament Hill on outdoor game weekend

Wait so no ottawa-montreal alumni game? Just a red vs white game? I don't like that as much.

Part of what makes this game fun is watching all these older players play again. The other part that makes it more fun is caring a bit who wins. If we played Montreal we would enjoy the old guys AND cheer them on to win. Now we can only enjoy the old guys without cheering on someone to win. I wish it was like the edmonton-mtl game way back.

Just put Heatley, Yashin and Corvo all on the same team and you'll want to cheer for the other . Although doubt any of those players play. Would be nice if they could announce all the alumni players. Hoping to see players like Volchenkov, Havlat etc. I wonder if Neil will play

Get your base layers activated!

Sold out!

They still have primary seats available on Ticketmaster, so it is technically still not sold out. I noticed they added an extra section.

That's interesting. It's all over the media, that it's a sell out. Too funny...

Hard to believe, it's next weekend. man time flies....

Likely have to get your own sleeve to protect the ticket id imagine, i am using one I got from development camp via the Sens a few years back....pretty sure staples sell them for those interested.

tips from the GC - if you're in the east stands bring pillows or something to sit on. steel is cold and will remain cold. have a poncho just in case.

Expecting the SENS to hand out 1 of these...

 

[Karl Prime]

I want to see Bonk, White, Van Allen, and Arvedson.

 

[SensTrader]

Can someone confirm? Is it only Sens alumni, or will there be Habs & Sens alumni... just curious...

SENS Red vs White game only. But that's being played at Parliament Hill, not TD Place.

 

[jbeck5]

Will it be televised?

Funny how with how bad the sens are, more people are excited to see alumni of good teams of our past than today's current team.

Bad time of year to be buying expensive tickets. I'm going to try the "last minute ticket" approach. There are like 1000 tickets on Stubhub right now, I wonder if the unsold ones will dive very close or just after puck drop. I can't drop 500 on a game (3-400 + all the stuff you spend there) right now.
