I wanted to thank you all for your patience as we put this trip together. It certainly wasn't easy and there were a couple hiccups along the way but I can finally announce that the trip is ON!. We will depart tomorrow morning and be there in plenty of time to cheer on the Boys from Bingo.
Everyone that signed up for the trip will receive an email explaining the details of trip and where you need to be.
And to the rest of you, thanks for your patience this week. I know this trip wasn't an option for a number of you and all the talk about it may have been a little tedious. We will back to some more Ottawa Senators related issues starting next week, including an update on the team's search for a head coach and some draft talk too!
Word is the Buffalo Sabres are extending Lindy Ruff today at 11:00 AM so we can cross him off the list of candidates.
If anyone attending tomorrow's road trip has any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Let's go to Bingo!!
1. SC, That VEET commercial on your site just embarrassed me at work. Sound - really?!? Saying that, my hairway-to-ass DOES need some work, so....SOLD.
2. Apparently the pick up locations for tomorrow mornings trip to Bingo are 11am, but SHARP...so, for those getting picked up on St.Laurent (east,) be there at 10:30, those at Museum of Nature (central), there at 10:45, and Barrhaven (are tyhey in the same time zone?!?), 11 - S-H-A-R-P!
The sooner we get to Bingo, the better. We might have VIP, so let's freggin get there.
3. There will be refreshments on the bus. Read between the lines there.
4. WE ARE SITTING ON THE SIDE. Not sure where exactly, but apparently the seats are pretty decent.
5. Bring your USD$$$, BRING YOUR PASSPORT, and bring your Sens jerseys!
6. No drugs, no Danny Downers, no lateness.
7. There will be some excellent swag drawn on the bus. Shold be fun.
Peluso
1.) Should I bring vodka+mix+ice.. or beers?
2.) Will there be coolers available, or bring your own?
3.) For smokers (legal kind), i assume no smoking on the bus, but will there be any stops along the way?
4.) Apparently its gonna be a "white-out" for the game, should I wear my white jersey that has LECLAIRE on it? (ugh, i know), or my RED Karlsson? lol
Can you tell im excited??
Haha thanks for the correction.
Not sure yet. Are you going to be there?
we're in Section 3, Rows C-E. About 6-7 rows up and just inside the blue line.
don't sit behind me....my mullet causes a sight-line obstruction.
Pelus-ohhhhhhh
How many people ended up confirming chirp?
Would be nice if someone would take some pictures and videos of the trip so that you can share the experience with others.
Have fun!
I have to disagree. I think the timing was as good as it could have been. It's impossible to tell how far Bingo would have gone in the Playoffs. This might have been their last Saturday night game of the 2010-2011 season.
I blame the universities for scheduling exams during the NHL/AHL playoffs. lol. Shame on them for prioritizing academics over sports.
Have fun guys. I'm expecting some detailed updates on our future prospects.
how many playoff games does bingo have to win before people stop using the argument "every team has prospects as good as ours"
They obviously don't, we're beating the pants off them.
Muller to Dallas? Say it ain't so! Wouldn't you rather be in Canada, Kirk?
Guess they realized how well he plays with young players!
Go Canada!
Considering that our top 2 point-getters are career AHLers (Locke, Potulny), I think that argument is still valid. BUT, we also cannot forget about Rundblad and Cowen.

NOOOOO. Don't like that, re: Muller. Would he not like to coach near his hometown with a team of young players he can mould to his own liking?
Ruff is not available.
So much for him behind the bench here!

Are those revised pickup times - final?
the hardcores know you are coming ... they are the most knowledgable pto hockey fans in North America, having had (mostly) AHL for about 40 years and some have been going since day 1.
warning - the game staff don't have much patience so don't be drunk and disorderly or swear too loudly or you'll be out.
I think we're planning to meet you at Dillinger's bar pre-game which is a 5 minute stumble from the arena. my usa cell (after 12 noon saturday) is 570-789-0238 if you need anything or want me to book tables etc it'll be sold out.
That's different than what Peluso said.
So is the noon pickup in Barrhaven with the rest earlier?
Still haven't received my e-mail to confirm anything.
Chirp, which is the correct time? 11:00 or 12:00.
You did got a phone call ?
He told we was calling everyone and will send e-mail.
Thanks!

GO B-SENS GO!!!
Leaving downtown @ 12:00 Elgin & Gladstone -- 12:30 in Barrhaven, Royal Oak.
Times are sharp.... bus will not wait for late arrivals.
Yeah he's a really dirty player. Who in the Bingo lineup besides Z. Smith can keep him in check?
Really no one at this point. No Gryba, Bass injured, no Lessard.
Hopefully he will be more a hinderance than helpful and take a few dumb penalties. And putting the B-Sens on the PP is not high priority for Portland at this point in the series.
Yikes, didn't know Bass was hurt as well as Gryba. That's a lot of muscle out of the lineup.
Do they have the spot to bring back Lessard or is he worth it?
Did you watch the game? The team is freakin good man.
I don't think being on the third line is an indication of talent, it's where you fit. Tavares for example was on the fourth line with Skinner, who were the best players on the ice... whatever line you're on doesn't mean squat when you play for Canada man.
That being said, I thought Spezza relatively struggled today.
GO CANADA
