Will be good to see them. They're on a 3 game losing streak now so I expect a bounce back from then. Should be a fun game. Could be wrong here but is this their first regular season game vs. a Canadian team? I think it might be.

Oddly enough, this looks like a sellout. The second time this season they make standing room only tickets available.
Apparently Ottawa likes its afternoon games.

I was originally going to pick this game as I've never seen them play live (as is the case for most people in Ottawa I suspect).
But Mrs_NyQuil is still out of town so I've yet to see the Sens in person this season.
I'll be cramming in the games later on I guess.

Why don't you just ask her? I'm told the key to a successful marriage is communication after all.

Married people don't actually TALK to each other.
How long have you been married?
It's hard to get divorced if you never have an argument.
No, it's definitely hacking her account.
To be married I would need a significant other. Those are too expensive.
I'm going to stick to video games.

Just remember to start scaling back the communication after a few years.
Hell, I forget her name half the time. That's why we say "dear" or "babe" or "sweetie".

I remember hearing a while back (not this season) that when they make the schedules, we specifically asked for afternoon games. Apparently they are more profitable or something; increases the value for local broadcast rights, maybe, as it's no longer a national game on CBC, or people more inclined to buy concessions, perhaps?
I thought that the "not a national game" loophole got closed in the Sportsnet/HNIC/NHL contract? Before that, we nearly always played afternoon games on Saturday.

You're probably right, like I said, it was a while back that I heard we requested them.
Having said that, we typically have focused on attracting young families (was a strategy from the beginning) so maybe that's part of why we opt for, and get good results from afternoon games; it's much easier to bring my kids to an afternoon game and have them home and fed in time for bed than it is to bring them to a game that ends at 10:00, three hours after they usually start getting ready for bed.

Sens lose 8-3.

Sens win 3-1.

It's true and it's not just families. People in this city seem to get up at 5am and go to bed at 7pm, so watching a regularly scheduled evening game messes up their sleeping pattern.
For me, it's the 2pm start that's problematic.
Okay i was wondering why you can't always search for those. Are the offered only for particular games? Is that list set out at the start of the year
