Both teams on a back to back
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.
Not a 7/730 pm start so probably about 10% chance we win this one

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?
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.
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

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

@Senators @MapleLeafs After auction the jerseys off online and donate the proceeds to the fallen soldiers family. (2/2)
I already suggested it to both organizations.
