Yeah... I've tried to use 'Ovation' to buy tickets for road games before... I gave up and called the team in question's ticket office every time.

The worst was when the Huskies were playing out of the Jacques Laperrière, and Ovation wouldn't let you pick a seat at all. As often as not, it tries to pick seats for you, and that's just not acceptable. No, Ovation, I don't want to sit where you think the best available seats are... Why in the hell would I want to sit six rows up in the corner of the end where the Olympiques only shoot in the second? :rant:

**cough**Brownnoser Section**cough** ;)

Section 4 is on the other side, but not far enough west to be lame. I can respect Section 4 well enough... I guess...

There's a Row C in Section 4? I guess that makes sense. There's a Row C in Section 10. I imagine you'll be right up against the glass behind one of the penalty boxes or the Olympiques bench.

What's the best section in your opinion? I still haven't picked out which tickets to buy.. just thought Section 4 looked like a good spot.. I've only ever been to 1 Gatineau game before so I have no idea.

Sections 11 and 3 are the best as far as I'm concerned. Low numbered seats in Section 11, and high numbered seats in Section 3. They're along the side, but they're just inside the offensive blue line, so you get to see the Olympiques scoring right in front of you for two periods.

Section 6 is by far the worst. I can't imagine that 7 or 8 are much better... We sat in Section 6 once before we had season tickets. Standing room at the east end of the building (i.e. Sections 11-3) is better than sitting in Section 6.

Dunno what happened with that slash, but apparently they're going to be talking to Bourret during the intermission on the Halifax radio station.

I know. I'm listening to it now and they're just talking about Rimouski. Damn, I'm curious.

Gatineau PP and Bourett was hovering offside when he gave Lewis a pretty hefty slash to the knee. Neither refs called it and play continued. The next stoppage a linesman came over and conferred with both refs. Then we see the 5 minute major on the board.

IMO its was a blatant attempt to injure and the major was justified. I don't believe it's worth a suspension though.
