Nothing changes....they do not make more money for playing Ottawa. Sorry, but it's the truth.

Side note.

You've had that picture for ever. Ever since i joined, im pretty sure you've had it.

Is your baby starting school yet? jesus. Time for a new pic, Burn

Oh wow

He forgets that Lupul is an assistant this year, so Kessel will probably be picked once the Sedins/Malkin/Stamkos/Senators are off the table.

it will be nice to see that rivalry revive itself.. but lets be fair here... toronto sells out if they are playing the columbus blue jackets lol

but you're right, i bet revenue garnered from advertising and tv rights goes through the roof for those 6 games a year

damn i want to see an ottawa/toronto playoff series again .... sigh

Hate is good for hockey .Ottawa is great city, as is Toronto both fan bases are the envy of three quarters of the league .Both teams are making money hand over fist and are what every potenial owner hopes their franchise will become

Honestly. Sens fans don't hate Leaf fans that much. And vice versa.


It's the media that pisses both fan bases off. Even our own media annoys us.

I highly doubt it. The ratings are pretty consistent. There is no dramatic spike in rating for sens games. A lot of the games are regional anyways.

ratings or no.. there is diversity in the broadcasting rights price wise

its moot really.. we agree on the main point...

ottawa gets alot more out of the rivalry financially than the leafs do

Alright boys, im outta here for the day. Rough couple of days. Talk to you guys later tonight

lol my last experience in ottawa involved me leaning against a cop car at 3am while they told my naked piano player to get out of the ottawa river

weird thing was we all went swimming in shorts.. still have no clue why he was naked

Sounds like a good time, at least what you remember

Thats the rub really ,the media stirs the pot they know they have a cash cow and are trying to exploit it.I have seen lottery tickets badged with the Battle of Ontario plastered all over them .

We make the rivraly ,they make the money

yup.. no doubt.. the canadian franchises are all making great money right now...

and now that the leafs are owned by rogers, i doubt they will be so accepting of missing out on playoff revenue.. tis a good thing

i remember.. i wasnt wasted that night.. it was my turn to the driving in the morning

it scarred me lol

I'm sure Carter is more available than Nash, but I'm sure Burke would make it worth Howson's time to trade for Nash instead.

i thought about messaging after the game.. i could of escaped then.. the shackles were off by that point

i hope its not carter.. i really dont think he'd fit the mold here.. unless it was on a line with kadri.. hmm. that would be interesting..

carter is a shooter and kadri is a playmaker.. it could work

nice


I go to Ottawa often...like the city...last time I went for Leafs vs Sens game I got made fun of for wearing my Leafs jersey all day and at the rink....sat between and in front of other sens fans who chirped me often...final score? 5-0 Leafs


I purposely reached over the Sens fans to high five other Leaf fans behind them after every goal

quite frankly, I dont want either...for the price they will cost I dosnt really address our needs...but out of both Nash over Carter all day....Carter is big and plays center but hes soft and hes another scorer...we need a gritty playmaker.

yup.. no doubt.. the canadian franchises are all making great money right now...

Money only wants one thing ...more money.Greed makes big things happen too bad we have to pay more and more for something both fanbases had a hand in making ,and would be worthless if both stopped caring
