GDT: ECQF: Game 2 - Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators, 7:30 p.m. EST | Back to the Future Edition

Is a sound check pre-game unusual? I imagine all venues preform them.

The professional ones do.

Chris Stevenson also confirmed on ottawa radio that even though that's happening here and there, Game 1 was the loudest he's ever heard that arena since he's been covering games at SBA

Well, I guess that sound system is really doing its job.

If you play well enough, the refs are irrelevant because no matter how many terrible calls or non-calls they make it won’t affect the outcome.

It was 2-0 for Toronto and the rout was on before the first penalty of the game was called.

Little brother got boat raced in Game 1.

This just in Scotiabank has in game prompts....like literally every single arena in the league lmao

This thread got some "it happens to everyone, I swear" energy real quick.

It has had some little brother energy for a while.

It's what he said lol. I don't care what they do in the arena

Sounds like it

The first two penalties were taken in the offensive zone when the Sens were forechecking. The third penalty was taken on the PK. Prior to the first Stutzle penalty, the shots were 15-6 for the Sens. None of the penalties had anything to do with giving up a grade A chance. They were borderline calls that went against the Sens when they had been doing a good job at carrying the play. The two goals were an odd-man rush and a breakaway. The sens do give up a lot of rush chances, but it wasn't like they were getting caved in. Rather they were down a goal in a game where they were getting lots of chances. It was 2-1 before the three penalties that basically ended the game.

I was talking more in general rather than specifics . Getting shots are all well and good but it matters greatly where these shots are being generated from . Anyway looking forward to tonight

Ottawa radio just confirmed Scotiabank Arena is piping in "Go Leafs Go" chants over the soundsystem during the pregame soundcheck. Holy f*** lmao

That’s North American sports culture for ya

 

[Connor MethDavid]

I think this one is 3-2 Ottawa but definitely hope I'm wrong.

If Toronto goes up 2-0, I don't see Ottawa coming back. But if Ottawa takes this one, I see strong "here we go again" vibes creeping in to the Leafs' heads.

 

[Spargon]

Well, I guess that sound system is really doing its job.

What's going to be the excuse when Leaf fans outnumber and are louder than Sens fans in Ottawa? I know that 45 mins drive the arena is such a killer...

I don't know if the rest of the league has caught up to Toronto just yet. Always at the forefront.

 

[RuudeDog]

Yep, no pressure on the Sens or their fans.

Well reading Sens fans losing their minds trying to defend their loss is quite comical. Only 3 more of them to go. I suspect tonights victim turns from the Ref's to their goalie. We will see.

No need to be sensitive.

The suits can’t be expected to use their own voices to cheer, can they?

[Summer Rose]

Sounds like it

I see what you did there.

Both are true. I don't care what they do with sounds but it also sounds like it's having some effect if it gets the fans going.

One thing I can guarantee is the Go Leafs Go chants you hear during Game 3 and 4 will definitely not be pumped in noise from the arena.

 

[Relapsing]

You'd think they'd be buying up tickets to tonights game... there's still a lot of available tickets on the market right now.

 

[Relapsing]

I don't care
