Post-Game Talk: Coyote problem in Kanata, Tues. 7:30 pm

[jbeck5]

It is for me personally and I have a young family but I understand why they operate this way, this particular promotion was clearly a last minute decision and is attempting to bump up ticket sales and more so rely on parking and concessions profit etc...an honest youth promotion would have been based around say the back to back 2pm home games at the end of the holidays and certainly not a 730 Tuesday night game.

They should do something that is for young adults that is that good of a deal. Maybe something for college or University.

Show your student card and the second ticket is 50%. The third is free.

Or... Regular price tickets but students get 50% off beer for the game.

I went to funhaven last year on a Friday night and you bought a ticket that included an alcoholic beverage voucher. They should do something like that, if possible.

Agreed, in terms of marketing and promo's, I would be all in targeting that 18-35 year old demographic whilst still going hard at the family's.

I too went to fun haven a few months back, while I was receptive to the idea I found it extremely disappointing in that literally over half the attractions and games were broken and un-useable.

I don't think the Coyote problem is the only problem....hopefully a lot of kids can make it....

Not too bad if you turn off the re-sale tickets. I was looking for some on the glass and there was not much left.

Still bad nonetheless. Really embarrassing for a Canadian city.

I had that issue too. I just remember people floating around the idea that buying a ticket with free alcohol was illegal. It's clearly not.

There may have been a time when this was true, not entirely sure...the 67's run a promo for every Friday night home game, a alcoholic beverage and a ticket for $20.

 

[milkbag]

This promotion was announced about a week ago, on social media, so not really "last minute".

Ahh well considering the schedule is released in June, 6 months ago, yeah 1 week is 'last minute'

How many asterisks do we need for tomorrow’s attendance?

Nilsson's earned the 1A spot for now as far as I'm concerned.

I was embarrassed long before this season started (more so frustrated, but embarrassed, too), so any additional embarrassment is irrelevant, to me anyway. This is about ownership and management. That doesn’t seem to be changing any time soon, so I suspect neither will the attendance issues. It’s a Mickey Mouse operation; people recognize that.

- Nilsson not playing
- Tkachuk continue to play with Stone, when there are clearly other options to try now
- Not use Dzingel consistently as a top 6 forward

and so many more decision this coach takes boggles my mind

I personally like this. I think Tkachuk can learn a lot from Stone and that is probably the plan

 

[Crosside]

I think he give the net to Anderson for scout seeing him. Probably is last game for Ottawa. I hope i never like him

Literally the only positive thing happening this season.
Also, Dzingle has been on the 2nd line with Duchene forever.

Wow. Just wow!

1 is whatever, Anderson is our starter.
2 is also whatever since they live together and have show good chemistry.
3 is outright wrong: Dzingel has gotten to play with Duchene plenty.

Dzingle is 3rd amongst our forwards in time on ice per game. Not sure what more you'd like to see

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Tkachuk and Stone playing together is one of the only things about the 2018-19 Sens that brings me joy. How anyone could be against that is strange at best.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Don't have a good feeling about this game. Sens will be distracted by the fact that their wives are all griping to them about how cold it's been in Ottawa for the past week. Their minds will not be on winning this game, it'll be on boarding the next flight to take the family someplace warm.

I remember many people saying that the "family atmosphere" was a complete buzz kill for the hockey experience. Glad to see theyve learned.

It is, 70% kids in the crowd gets absolutely no one fired up. It's pathetic.

Lol that's my point. It feels like a 67s game.

Just agreeing with you. Seems we've have had the "Junior High School Dance" atmosphere for 20 years.
