Pre-Game Talk: SENS vs Chicago, Thursday 7:30 pm (Home Opener)

[Engineer]

If someone is approaching with less negativity...i know it is hard, this is exactly what people are asking for isn't it? Working to sell tickets with promotions, better deals, better value.

Limiting tickets to concerts to force people to buy sens tickets alongside? Who asked for this?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

The team won't be as bad as the rest of the league thinks it will be.

Lol, for the sake of our sanity(since we don't have a 1st rounder), we better pray this is the case.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

One of the biggest selling points this game had was Tkachuk's debut as a Sen. Now that he's sidelined, I'm calling for even more abysmal numbers. The released attendance number won't be affected, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that some fans who already have tickets just decide to stay home instead.

Lol, for the sake of our sanity(since we don't have a 1st rounder), we better pray this is the case.

Even if we got last, won the lottery, and traded Duchene for peanuts, Dorion would still stand there with a big smile saying he doesn't regret the trade one bit and we're all crazy for thinking he should.

 

[inthewings]

Tickets on StubHub for less than $15.

Good. I hope there's less than 15k people in attendance.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Yeah I hope this isn't serious for Brady, but man this is going to be harsh for the box office. Wouldn't be shocked with an 11K-12K crowd.

 

[The Lewler]

Based on ticket master it will be higher than that. It's hard to say.

Probably in the 15k+ range.

 

[bert]

75% full all season.

It’s what the census indicated.

So the same as last year? Its gotta be worse.

 

[SensFactor]

Got my half season tickets in 200 level. Looking forward to the home opener. Go Sens Go!

 

[Back in Black]

Baseball playoffs and Colts-Patriots on at the same time. I'm thinking I might just put this one on my phone and routinely check in.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

There's free streams available easily.

Let's you watch without supporting Melnyk.

I just don't care enough to watch is what I was getting at.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Looks like Boro - Ceci are the shut down pair.. It will be brutal.
I don't mind the other pairs.
Seems to be looking for balance in the bottom 6. I like that White has moved up but I doubt he remains ahead of Tierney

You're a bad fan.

 

[SensFactor]

You're a bad fan.

No I'm a loyal fan. Don't get me wrong I hate management just like everyone else but I support the players left on the team. Stone, Duchene, Tkatchuk etc. Plus the Sens rebounded after losing Spezza, Heatley, Chara, Hossa, Alfie and they will rebound from this.

That defense needs much more experience. God help us.

 

[Sensinitis]

Wideman is gonna impress people I feel.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Borowiecki AND Wideman in the top 4. Yikes. They ought to be a 3rd pairing at best.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I just don't care enough to watch is what I was getting at.

Fair enough, just thought I'd give you a real response that wasn't just, "well get lost then."

 

[inthewings]

Wideman is gonna impress people I feel.

I think so too. He has legitimate offensive ability, and with Karlsson gone it wouldn't be surprising to see 40+ points from Wideman.

 

[Sensinitis]

I think so too. He has legitimate offensive ability, and with Karlsson gone it wouldn't be surprising to see 40+ points from Wideman.

Yep, he produced at that pace in just 16 games last season (5 of which Karlsson was absent for). Hopefully he can do it over a full year. He has good skill and won best dman in AHL award not too long ago. Good opportunity for him.

 

[slamigo]

I’m all done with the negativity. I just want to watch hockey.

 

[OmniSens]

No Thachuk makes me sad

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Fair enough, just thought I'd give you a real response that wasn't just, "well get lost then."

And I appreciate it. Have a like.

 

[CTC]

Really sucks not having tkachuk out there, he was fun to watch this preseason. I was pretty doom and gloom heading into this season, bought tickets at full price for the kids and I and then 5 hours later they traded EK....I was livid and was going to throw them away but we ended up going and we had a good time. Got to watch the new guys and I can't help but cheer for the win regardless of what are chances are on paper. I'll probably take in a bunch of stubhub games this year given they are $15.00, why not?
I scored free tickets for the home opener. So will see how it goes. I do not expect a big crowd.

You hate management, but you're also supporting them with your wallet.
