Season Opener in Winnipeg (Jan 19th)

[Milan the God*]

Slightly off topic, but do they usually give out trophies on the first home game? Like present Karlsson with the Norris during the first Sens home game this year?

Also, when do you guys think that will be? Tuesday the 22nd?

It will be a tough first game with that home ice advantage

Yeah, but we won in Winnipeg twice last year.

I dream of the year we actually start at home.

Couldn't agree more!

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I'd assume HNIC will be carrying this one..

Yea but they won't broadcast it nationally. They will instead play recaps of trade talks between Toronto and Luongo.

 

[metalfoot]

It will be national. But being the afternoon game, nobody except Prairieites and Sens fans will watch.

 

[SammyTheBull]

Wish I could go but getting tickets will be unpossible. Was hoping to catch a Sens vs Jets game here sometime, maybe next year. Would be my first NHL game ever!

Sens and Jets will be playing three times. There's a chance the Sens will be returning.

Also, sucks for the Jets to have to play in the SE again. On the bright side, we don't have to hear about the Canucks fans complaining how they have the most miles to travel out of all teams

Being the afternoon game, I'd reckon it could be the first NHL game of the season. There are bound to be people that tune in just for the novelty.

 

[SixthSens]

I have a course to attend on the 19th, damnit.

 

[BonkTastic]

Ugh, 1:30pm start in Ottawa = 1:30AM start in Jakarta.

Sounds like it's going to be a late, late night for me (or an early morning). I'm not missing this game.

That's probably why it's an afternoon game - can't deprive the Leafs of their God-given right to a nationally-televised Saturday-night home game.

 

[internetdotcom]

I don't know why the people on the other side of the globe don't record/PVR the game and watch it at a human hour. LOL But ya gotta admire the dedication!

 

[vdB]

I too miss Dean Brown's voice. Can't wait!

 

[Prattalot]

I was at both games in Wpg last year...great fun and good wins for the Sens. The last time I went with my boss (a big Jets fan) and that's the game Spezza put on a clinic and embarrassed half the Jet team. Wonderful memory. Not sure I can attend this game though

 

[Deku]

I went to a Sens-Jets game in Ottawa last year. Was fantastic, and the ones in the 'Peg were great too. Can't wait, this'll be a great way to kick off the season.

Ugh, 1:30pm start in Ottawa = 1:30AM start in Jakarta.

If it's 1:30pm Winnipeg time, then it's 2:30AM your time. That's rough!

 

[GimmeMyJetpack]

not really sure why a thread was made when nothing has been confirmed.

Garrioch tweeted right after that the senators themselves didn't even know yet when and where their season opener would be.


Bruce Garrioch @SunGarrioch
If the Senators are opening against the Jets it's news to them. Ottawa has been told nothing on schedule.

It's kinda hard to record "illegal" online streams.

 

[GoSensGo6172]

Yeah, it is nice to hear about the potential of this game but it's still speculation. Nothing is confirmed until Saturday.

 

[The Waffler]

I'll ask to get off work early that day, filling in for someone, but I finish at 2. Not missing a second of it.

This. I can't exactly call my local cable provider and ask them to pick up CBC.

I don't think that "Little Mosque On The Prairie" is going to be enough for Indonesians to want to watch Canadian broadcasting on a regular basis...

 

[2XPRO31]

I went to a Sens - Jets game last year and we lost 2-0. It was the worst live game I've ever been to.

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

Sweet! Early game for me in Sweden

Ah Oh Silfeverberg

I am exceedingly jealous of you. About a 90 min drive to the MTS from here so I haven't made it yet for a game.

 

[neutral zone trap13]

Is this 1:30 PM Winnipeg time?

 

[derriko]

I doubt they would give EK the norris at an away game. And yay for being a post college grad, jobless bum! I can watch any game haha.
