This is promising. Didn't realize knights were such a big draw

Not sure how many of those tickets sold are free though. I'd wager LOTS

 

[Multigrain]

I wonder who will be scratched tonight?

WTF?

The Detroit game on the 15th looks like a ghost town.

Are the Knights that big a draw or is this next level papering of the arena?

Guaranteed but it's a start or at least better than half empty

Lot of casual or new fans love the knights. It's the team that makes rejects feel like part of something

I like our players seeing an actual NHL sized crowd behind them at home.

Is that why I became a Sens fan in 93?

 

[Clayonator]

I’d go:

Dzingel Duchene Stone

Tkachuk Tierney Boedker

Paul White Ryan

McCormick Pyatt Pajaarvi


Chabot DeMelo

Lajoie Ceci

Wideman Jaros

(Assuming Boro injured, in which case he takes Wideman’s spot.)

I am more concerned about the long-term interests of the franchise than the player's feelings in a throw away season.

I can see where you are coming from though.

I personally don’t believe a half empty Arena is worth the cost of losing our long term pieces due to demoralization and walking away from what should be a real hockey market. If we’re talking an empty arena then a sale happens fast, but right now all an average of 15000 does is spell apathy. You’re not gonna convince the remaining 15000 to all stay at home. If it were that simple I’d be on board, but it isn’t.

Not sure why GB likes to put Boro and Jaros together?

Not sure, but "Jarowiecki" sounds like a mythical beast that needs to be slayed in order to lift a warlocks curse.

Paid attendance is well below 15,000 and dropping.

In my opinion, getting rid of Melnyk is priority #1 for the long-term interests of the NHL in Ottawa.

Stone and Duchene will likely be gone with or without a full arena, as Melnyk has made it clear he wants to minimize $ leading into lockout and Lebreton.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Lockout?

 

[RANKKA]

what time is morning skate?

 

[Sensung]

Lockout?

NHL Showdown Ahead

The CBA is set to expire on September 15, 2022. However, the terms of the current agreement would extend on a year to year basis from that date, unless the league or NHL Players Association (NHLPA) give written notice by May 18, 2022, that they intend to terminate the agreement. This date is crucial.
Of late, one key point of the CBA has become widely reported. Section 3.1 paragraph (b) of the CBA is the so-called opt-out clause that gives the league and the NHLPA the right to terminate the agreement before the start of the 2020-21 season.

It was a blessing. Just think, if that didn't happen you'd be a leafs/habs fan just because daddy forced you to. Yuck gives me shivers

That graphic is a good representation of the eye test as well on who's been doing well. Lajoie only outlier.

Lol... come on, Bonk.

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Trade him then if he was to blame for everyones statements.

They were all equally responsible, but I don't really see any of it as that big a deal. Wideman just seems like a giant douche is all I'm saying.
