GDT: Ottawa 67's VS Niagara IceDogs - Ottawa blows 2-0 lead, IceDogs win series 4-2.

[OmniSens]

Attendance: 1885 at TD Place tonight.

Wow... That hurts.

Things are just pretty bad this year in general after the two year banishment to the hinterlands. .

Yes the "hinterlands" - where our Sens play right? Cause Kanata is miles away into the forests and is just so far away from everything right?

Anyway, Go 67's, I ****ing hate Niagara!!

Playoffs, especially the first round, have always been poor, even in the good years. They don't know dates until the last minute so they can't do the group sales like they do (or at least used to do really well in the past).

Throw in the buzz surrounding the Sens and it's even worse.

Things are just pretty bad this year in general after the two year banishment to the hinterlands. Hopefully they will get back to where they used to be.

People need to look up what hinterlands means Put it this way if Kanata was its own city it would be middle of the pack in term of population while a true hinterlands has a population of less then 5000 and hours away from any fair size city.

Junior hockey attendance is suffering across Canada, not just in Ottawa. There are all kinds of factors, but I think one of the biggest ones is that there is so much hockey on your nice, HD flat screen TV at home that trudging out to the arena is less appealing than it was before. Technology and the comforts of home mean that as a society we have all retreated to our cocoons somewhat. Selling tickets is going to be an ongoing challenge for all CHL teams, to the point where I would not be surprised to see a few franchises fold up over the next few years...

Oh, and Josh Ho-Sang - one assist, a minus one, and a dumb penalty at a crucial point late in the third. Way to go, superstar...

Ottawa is one of the better supported market.

Keep an eye on a guy I've been pimping all year from the 67s: Jeremiah Addison. Dude is work a pick between rd 5 and 7. Plays a power forward type game and is due for a big break through season next year. Big on this kid like I was Graovac.

It was up against the biggest Sens game of the season. It was just an unfortunate match up for the 67s.

Lots of people who would normally go were either at the Sens game of at home watching the Sens game (wishing they were at the 67s game).

Really sucks that they took the Parking away from there. What was once a nice family outing is changed because now the cost & time required for a family to take a bus or 2 is much less convenient then hopping in the car to go to a hockey game.

The Glebe is turning into the hinterlands! ha-ha

Plenty of on-street parking a short walk away, especially when only 1885 turn up!

 

[pepty]

I think they have plenty of parking for the 67s games, its just the RedBlacks where they don't have enough

 

[thesensguy]

My classmate and former buddy will be suiting up for the 67's likely next year, which is super cool. Ottawa 67's 2nd round pick William Brown.

I haven't driven down there yet, but that was my understanding as well. You'd think it would be fine with only ~2000 people there (mind you I expect there to be a lot more at today's game)

Anyone know a good place to get some 67s Tshirts/jerseys other than the stadium? I got a buddy coming down to visit me from Ottawa and we are going to the game monday night. I want some 67s gear for it.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Hahaha yup

Tell him to get off his lazy ass and get me a 67s shirt.

 

[pepty]

I went to the game. it was pretty chippy at times.They called for security to come to the Niagara bench but I m not sure why.

Seemed like a pretty good crowd, The 67s took over in the 2nd period and never let go..
