Anyway best of luck to you too Nick.

Wonder why you didn't whine about the refs at all tonight... prolly coz they were on your side to a ridiculous degree ;) ;)

yes that is how things seem to go

games don't get reffed evenly

though tonight both teams were pretty well behaved and the Pens took some dumbass penalties
---

the too many men penalty was our own stupidity.

the "interference" call right before you guys got the 5-on-3 was not a penalty, especially considering they ignored one right before it on you guys.

and yeah our first goal should've counted.
---

How do hockey fans still whine about refs every fucking game

Reading this topic is painful
---

To be fair it's mostly just Nick and I.

Well, SMuffin to a degree.

Go mah Senators go

Saw today Pens are 3-8 all time in home Game 7's and the Sens are 0-5 in all game 7's

So that's some stuff
---

how many of those 3 are the Caps?
---

Apparently the Pens are 9-7 all times i game sevens upon actually looking. So not sure what stat i misread there.

Sens though are 0-5
---

So for the Pens it is 3-7 at home in game 7's
6-0 on the road in game 7's

the 3 home wins were:
1991 vs Nordiques
1995 vs Capitals
2016 vs Lightning (East Finals)

the 7 home losses were:
1975 vs Islanders
1989 vs Flyers
1993 vs Islanders
1996 vs Panthers (East Finals)
2010 vs Canadiens
2011 vs Lightning
2014 vs Rangers

the 6 road wins were:
1992 vs Capitals
1999 vs Devils
2001 vs Sabres
2009 vs Capitals
2009 vs Red Wings (Cup Finals)
2017 vs Capitals


For the Sens, as I said 0-5 all time in game 7's. 0-1 at home, 0-4 on the road

The home game was:
2003 vs Devils (East Finals)

The road games were:
1997 vs Sabres
2002 vs Maple Leafs
2004 vs Maple Leafs
2012 vs Rangers

Eh.... I don't know Barry, but this sounds like it was written by an American. I can't speak on the fans resenting the ownership and all that stuff, but $120 is incredibly cheap for NHL hockey in Canada, and this is only compounded by the fact that it's the playoffs... later rounds in the playoffs. Talking about Ottawa's population is a joke as well. It's population would be small for an NHL city in the US... but it's actually virtually the same as Edmonton (who were selling out for the decade their team was terrible) and quite a bit larger than Winnipeg, who also wouldn't have trouble selling out playoff games.

I'll agree that there is no need to shit on their fanbase and the location of the arena does seem like a big problem... but some of the points in that article are BS.

Sens PowerPlay!

they are the only reason this is in a game seven due to their handing Ottawa game 6.
