On paper, just about the easiest month of April you could hope for, if they can remain in the hunt til then.

Season/home opener against the defending champions. 9 straight road games over the holidays due to the WJC in Ottawa.

I love how Garrioch went from a insider (Dorions mouth piece) to being a guy that just relays readily available information.

Only one b2b game with the divisional rival as the second game is decent. We’ve had some pretty rough schedules in the past few years. I’d appreciate the team not completely imploding before January this year. Would be nice

First 24 games….. 12 at Home, 12 on the road….. Much better balance than last season.

14 games of the first 24 VS Western Conference teams …..

By the beginning of December… we should know know where the Sens stand, in terms of the playoffs being a possibility

Big road trip when the WJ are in town.

Some extra incentive for Staois/Andlauer to finally put out a good team. If the Sens are shit, those April home games will have tumbleweeds. If the Sens are in the hunt, those April games are sellouts and excitement like the 2015 season was.

Anyone have any idea when tickets go on sale? All I can see is “Sens on Demand” which I was confused as to what it is.

Yup. But the competition during that stretch projects to be not that strong. I think it's a good schedule for us.

14 B2B games next season by my count. Don't like those as they usually mean a loss.

Remember last year when the big road trips wouldn't matter because we played mostly at home the first part and that would be a cushion for later and then we shit the bed and shit the bed on the road and shit the season and this is a run on sentence.

Might try to get tickets for the weekend where the have back to backs against the Preds and Isles. Would be a fun roadtrip

Can we use this place as a lineup thread too or is there already one?

I think we've been using this

Current state of Sens roster formation

Sure, good teams deal with injuries, rebuilding teams expected to fight for a wildcard spot tend tend to struggle. The one position that will sometimes break that rule is goalies, a great goalie can allow teams to overachieve short term, like the Anderson/Bishop/Lehner combo did in 2013 for us...

You may have the op blocked then, or you accidentally ignored the thread

I thought you were talking about away games.. what a trip! Hopefully they're doing a family night or something to make the trip extra worth while for ya

Luckily, there are 2 mini-western road trips before then (3 games each time) so will be able to see how they perform before their long western road trip in December/January. The western road trips last year were killer. My one concern is we're playing a lot of contenders early on, not sure if new coaching staff will have enough time to prepare the team, set the line combinations and have everyone gelling and on the same page that early in the season. The pre-season isn't much of a test: only one playoff team on the schedule: Leafs. The remainder were all out of the playoffs last year so doesn't mean much if they have a good pre-season. They better not have an attitude that they're the be-all, end-all if they have a winning record. Florida in the opener will be a very good test, assuming Florida doesn't come out flat with a Stanley Cup hangover.

Last year went 7-6-1 in b2b games.
