Tribute 2023-24 season - POSITIVITY THREAD - PART 1

Can't wait to watch hockey with my newborn

Congrats! Hopefully, in 6 or 7 years we will have a cup and you can amaze them by saying "you know, before you were born, we were actually pretty bad for a while!"

Hey guys! I'm a massive Giroux fan, and with the Flyers being the worst, I'm rooting for you guys, so want to gear up properly for the season:

How do people feel about Pinto and Norris? Are they healthy? Ready to go?

What about Greig? Is he in the show for the long haul?

Hey bud

Pinto is healthy & ready to go, aside from the contract. Norris is, too, but I think he could be eased in a bit.... maybe even lining up on the wing for face-offs (and then switching to C duties after puck drop). Luckily, we have Giroux, Tkachuk, probably Greig who are all wingers (or likely to play wing for us) who are comfortable taking face-offs.

Speaking of Greig, he definitely has a spot to lose... but last year he faded as his NHL stint went on. He has still only played 39 games in the AHL, which is less than Batherson, Norris, and Formenton got while probably having the least NHL-ready frame. I could see him splitting the season between NHL & AHL but I'd say theres a 90% chance he will be with the team after the deadline before becoming full-time next season.

Hope to see you around the board!

My son was born during the 2007 run! Fun times!

My guy was just turning 2 during that run. We had a tiny Sens shirt for him and noticed that every time we put him in it, Ottawa won.

Did not work at all in the final.

Hmm, last year we were apparently up 60% from 2019, which had us with an estimated STH base between 6-7k, so another 35% on that puts us in the 8.5-9.5k range

I'm f***ing dying for hockey.

If I could just close my eyes and wake up a month from now i would.

Is that back around average?

 

[Micklebot]

No clue what league average is but when we were selling out our goal was always 10k in season ticket equivalents. That said, back then we did a fair bit of comping, so giveaways to youth groups, radio contests, and freebies to season ticket holders.

Yep. I wonder if the red blacks sucking has helped a bit as well.
