I know that. It was posted on that website as a joke. I also posted it here as a joke.
I figured they have some hot spots where people go and watch the playoff games.

Almost as bad as their version of real sports.

 

[david999]

That is hilarious. I wonder if the first home game against the Penguins will even get sold out?

 

[agropop]

Rofl, that's great.

I hope people realize that this is just a joke.

Ottawa obviously doesn't have the population to have a turn out like Toronto did, but they sell out games, have a good amount of fans outside the arena and the Elgin st area is quite packed.

haha

I know it's just a joke but that killed me.

 

[re5piration]

looks about right.

I would laugh but it's actually a good idea- watching the game outdoors with a small group of friends. If random people show up at least you got front row or close. Plus there is a guy in a wheel chair watching so just let them be.

 

[The Hockey Life]

Amazing.

 

[Mess]

Looks like they photo shopped in a few extra people into that photo to build up the crowd.

[Duke Silver]

Wow, what a coincidence! I moved to Ottawa and worked in that building to the right for 4 months back in 2008. Fond memories.

not when I lived there, but that's great if it is now.

the rink location is the biggest problem IMO

Oh relax. We realize it's a joke.

They're missing the usual Leaf fans who attend their building to fill the seats...

I'd rather treat him like everyone else.

looks about right. ottawa fans are bandwagoners i am told by someone that lives in ottawa.

 

[Grant]

Wait, is the picture a joke or is the team they are watching a joke?

A little bit of each actually.

Everyone I know there over 30 is either a Leafs or habs fan, doubt anyone really changes teams even after expansion.

Also, there building location is horrid! They could build something but it would be on an empty field with no way to walk there behind the rink.

There's a reason for that. That photo was taken on Sparks Street. There's not enough room on Sparks to hold all the usual Leaf fans who fill SBP.

picture made me then i remembered that at least they're still playing
