Looks like my wife is going to be dragging me up to Ottawa's Winterlude for that weekend. (And you will be interested in knowing the Rangers happen to be playing in Ottawa when I'm up there.)

But quite frankly, I expect tonight's game to be much better than anything that takes place next weekend, intense rivalry notwithstanding.

The Rangers are GOD AWFUL right now.

Trust me, I know! But an opportunity to see them in an arena I've never been to (and they might end up building a new one in Ottawa soon), is one I can't pass up.

Canadian Tire Centre is nice, just out of the city. Enjoyed watching the Bruins take Game 5 there last playoffs.

I know it’s away from the city but cripes what a waste if they build another arena. Canadian Tire Center is a fine facility. What amazed me last year was how lacking the crowd was when I went to Rangers/Ottawa Game 2. It was a far cry from what I expected for a Canadian Hockey city for a playoff game. Not loud, very casual Sunday church crowd that didn’t even realize Pageau scored a hat trick until the announcer said it.

Maybe part of it was I went from a game at Montreal a week earlier to Ottawa. It would be tough for anyone to live up to a Montreal playoff crowd but I was very disappointed in Ottawa.

My experience was opposite was a packed house elimination game for my Bruins, what I was shocked by was how cheap it was, I got 2nd row off the pen box for $150 a ticket. I agree they don't need a new arena just build around the current one.

I was shocked when I read about a new arena, too. The movement has been in all sports to build them downtown. And apparently Ottawa is setting forth plans to do so. Hey, it's only taxpayers' money...

Wasn't the Georgia Dome only like 20 years old before they built a new one?

As for Ottawa attendance, there are still tickets available for all games, and I'm not talking the secondary market. You would never see that in Toronto or Montreal, and I would guess Vancouver.

Snowing pretty good in the FingerLakes region. Oswego can hold the snow off as I have to drive to Watertown tonight....

Thanks for the update. Very light snow here in Rochester. I should be able to make it. I've done a lot worse in the past.

I should reiterate...the game was sold out but the atmosphere was horrendous for an NHL playoff game is my mind.

Update, snowing here in OZ now but not hard and nothing crazy or unmanageable visibility I'd say is well over 500 yards still.

The lack of ticket holders here is disgusting, the attendance numbers are sad tonight at this point. Hope a lot changes in 10 min. Atleast the students showed up.

Having issues is it up yet? There's no music or horn here at the game, but the announcer works doesn't make sense.
Luckily some more fans showed up but still looking at a lot of empties.
