On the AHL transactions page it shows Howden was sent down on the 23rd and recalled the 24th. So likely he was only sent down on paper and is with the Cats.

Ottawa fans I encounter are some of the nicest. Maybe cuz they live in Montreal's shadow, maybe cuz they have financial issues of their own. IDK.

3-2 Panthers OT.

4-3 Ottawa regulation win.

Spezza walks Olsen again.

I hope STL beats TOR in regulation to continue another epic, second-half TOR collapse in the standings.

Looks like Bobby Ryan will miss this game. Not sure if it matters enough, but it's always nice to get Winchester back in the lineup. Too bad Jovo has to come back, too.

They have to deal with Leaf and Hab fans invading their barn multiple times a year so they know what it's like.

Doesn't surprise me. They're a small market team in a country where hockey is king and they get little respect...even though they've done more than a team like the Leafs has in over 40 years (like actually make the Final).

The Senators are to me a franchise akin to the Panthers, no different than any other small/southern market. We as fans put up with a lot of crap to support our teams. Plus, how can you not like Craig Anderson?

If you think the Leafs are respected up here, you're out of touch.

I think the majority of the perception of Leafs fans is assuming they're all quirky, crazy and bipolar. How's my aim?

Oh I absolutely want this too. The media and their fans are so entertaining when they lose!

Well from what I see, the Leafs get far more coverage and interest from Canadian media than the Senators will. Is that not the case? I'm sure the average, smart hockey fan doesn't respect the Leafs that much for their failures.

Imo the reason the Sens get such little coverage and have a small fanbase is because they never had a built in fanbase. For example if you were born in 1975 in Florida, you would have been 18 when they came into existence, but likely didn't have a favourite team because hockey got zero coverage, where if you were born in 1975 in Ottawa you would have been 17 when the team was founded, and likely a diehard Leafs or Habs fan. The Canadian media tends to focus more on the older fan (1980 and before), and not the newer generation (mid 80's -2000s), so no one cares about Ottawa, though I expect it'll change as the current generation gets older.

The sens fans I encounter in sweden are all big *******s, pretty much we are best and the ref hates us.

Yes, from the morning skate.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Would love a Birthday victory from the boys! ****ing hate playing the Sens.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Howden-Pirri-Winchester? Not bad, not bad at all.

 

[Panthersfan1989]

Man Goldfarb is an awful TV personality.

 

[Effe]

Islanders are already up 3-0 so if we lose today we might be 5p behind.

edit: and now 4-0
