Also, there's an incident involving a gunman and shots fired downtown. Stay inside and stay safe.

Excellent.

Well played.

 

[Indrew]

OH NO! The Senators starting goaltender is starting against their provincial rival. I'm sorry to every poster under the age of 24.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Have to wonder if the game even happens tonight. Doesn't feel all that important at the moment.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Games probably getting cancelled.

The NHL and #Sens are monitoring situation downtown.

I guess a decision will be made about whether to play the game tonight once all of this is resolved. Would not surprise me if there was a postponement.

 

[Benjamin]

I hope its not cancelled.

 

[StefanW]

At this point, with the extended incident, cancelling the game is the right call.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

If they cancelled our game with Boston due to the Boston bombing, I'd be stunned if they didn't cancel this one.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Only advantage of having the CTC in Stittsville....not really impacted by incidents like this. Visiting players never stay at Chateau, always Brookstreet.

 

[Swervin81]

Leaf fan in peace. I fully expect the game to be cancelled, as it should be. Human lives are at risk by a group of psychopaths. That's far more important than what is just a hockey game in comparison.

Stay safe, guys. Thoughts are with you.

If this game are postponed, best time to replay is tomorrow. Leafs and Sens have next games on saturday and Leafs already in town.

 

[Caeldan]

You know. I'm actually a believer that provided people and participants (since it seems the Leafs may be that the Chateau Laurier) can safely get to the event, it should go on as planned - otherwise we are letting the terror aspect of the day win.

I'm much more concerned that people are safe, hockey game be damned.

Yes, hence the qualifier at the start of my statement.

How did you come up with 24?

Two very different situations.

Well, you actually cant guarantee that people are safe in any day.

NO, It's an attack by a terrorist group, same thing as Boston.

 

[Amadeus]

My thoughts are prayers are with the citizens of Ottawa now. Hopefully they can catch the culprits. Safety before pleasure. The game should be cancelled!

 

[Sensinitis]

I didn't give an opinion guyzeur. I just said they are different situations, and they are. And I'm in Law, I know full well how to punish people the proper way Just trying to stay objective.

IIRC the bombers weren't caught in Boston, and bombs are a very delicate situation. Who knows if there were others planted elsewhere?

In today's case we have terrorists that were caught, and with guns, not bombs. More containable, and has apparently already been contained for the most part.

Yes, in Boston the attackers were still on the run within a couple of hours of the game. If the situation is resolved soon, I can see the game being played tonight, but wouldn't be surprised if it was cancelled.

I don't think they have caught everyone. The Portage bridge is completely shut down and the cops are searching every car thoroughly. Opening trunks and all..

How do you know if they aren't more gunners or bombs in Ottawa? You can be sure that the CTC and others major bldgs, malls are all being searched right now.
