[Derivation]

Not a bad timeframe only 2 1/2 weeks. We'll have come off playing the Jets the night before so hopefully we won't be too fatigued.

 

[Caeldan]

Still on a Rogers national night too, what are the other games scheduled for the day?

Edit: Busy hockey day

TBL@DET 6pm
EDM@NYR 6pm
SJS@CHI 7pm
VAN@ANA 9pm

Also, Toronto hosts the Rangers the night before so at least we're both on b2b games. Plus Leafs have an away game the Thursday before, so it's 3 in 4 for them.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Both teams on a back to back

That's acceptable

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Not a 7/730 pm start so probably about 10% chance we win this one

That's acceptable

Would be preferred to recreate the scenario of the game-that-would-have-been - have the Leafs coming off a back to back with the Sens rested - but obviously too many other constraints to be that perfect about it.

I wonder if Rogers/CityTV is going to make that a national Sunday evening game on CityTV leading into the 9pm Canucks game they presently have scheduled - if this game is at 6 rather than 7 to allow the consecutive broadcast of both. Being the Sens' last home game before Remembrance Day, it is likely to be a pretty big deal of national interest.

Happy it's on a Sunday!

They likely were already doing that with EDM/NYR, and instead are happy to get a new Toronto game on a Sunday. It's the 'hometown hockey' time slot.

Edit: oops, just read why;

 

[TheSenator]

That was the old Sens, the new Sens might rock afternoon/early starts.

 

[Back in Black]

If that's the case, than good, I don't need to rant!!!!!

GO SENS GO!

Leafs-Sens rescheduled game...and a proposal

First: Usually I hang out at the Sabres board, but I stand in solidarity with Ottawa over what happened on Wednesday.

So...since the Leafs-Senators game that was postponed has now been rescheduled for November 9th, let me put this proposal out there. With Rememberance Day 2 days after...and with the passing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo fresh in our minds, maybe the Leafs and Sens could wear special warm-up jerseys, then put them up for auction with the proceeds to go to Cirillo's family-especially Nathan's 4 year old son who will now grow up without a father. (Of course, they'd have to clear this with the NHL.)

Sound like a good idea?

I could see something like this happening

 

[jbeck5]

I "sign" this petition. Great idea.

 

[BonkTastic]

There's a guy in the Sens office who posts on these boards occasionally.

I assume the Sens probably have something in mind to help out Cpl. Cirillo's family, but if not, hopefully the message is passed along the appropriate channels.

 

[Savannah Skunk]

An idea like that would have greater impact if adopted and supported by the NHL; if only every team did the same for people like Cirillo's family, the family of the person shot at a school in Marysville Washington today, ... the list goes on. Sadly, the world is full of many victims of injustice.

It is truly emancipating when established successful franchises and businesses or individuals with extreme wealth collaborate to use their financial muscle to create and/or promote well-being for the less fortunate and wealthy and who are surviving terrible tragedy.

... end philanthropic rant...

And, since Cirillo was a Hamiltonian, it would not surprise me to find out that the AHL's Bulldogs are working on something similar. (Add on: They are; they will be sporting a five-point star-like decal with the letters NC on their helmets for the rest of the season; an image of it is on their Twitter feed. Also, they're planning a pre-game ceremony with the Hamilton Police Service Honour Guard and Canadian Armed Forces-and the moment of silence.)

A fund for the 2 fallen soldiers has already been started and $265,000 has already been raised. For more info https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fund-4-officer-p-vincent-cpl-n-cirillo

Glad to hear people are standing up and doing something for Patrice Vincent, as well. Seems his story got lost in the shuffle a little bit after what happened here in Ottawa.

 

[General Zodd]

Great idea. We must never forget both of these fine young men!!!

 

[Qward]

I already suggested it to both organizations.

@TheQwardian · Oct 22

@Senators @MapleLeafs When the game is rescheduled, both teams should wear the military jerseys in warm ups. (1/2)

@TheQwardian · Oct 22

@Senators @MapleLeafs After auction the jerseys off online and donate the proceeds to the fallen soldiers family. (2/2)

So did I. On my Twitter feed(@buffalocharging) I made a number of tweets on 10/23 to explain the matter. The fourth one lays it out clearly.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Is it possible to get a refund if you purchased the tickets but can't go to the Nov 9 date?

 

[Qward]

Depends on where you bought it I would imagine.
