The crowd had a lot of Leaf fans in it. I understand they were the only team in English speaking Canada for a long time. I also know that allegiances die hard. I'm the same way. You would have thought the Leafs had won the cup. Their fans were over the top. I realize that the Leafs don't win a lot of hockey games so I guess you have to cherish every win but it was truly excessive.
There were several Go Leafs Go chants and it would be muddied by the Go Sens Go chant and fade away. They did cheer when the Leafs would score. It really wasn't a game to be proud of. They didn't win because they took the play to the Sens, they won because the Sens had very bad goaltending. They scored 5 goals on 21 shots. At the pro level, that should not happen. If you give up that many goals on that few shots you will lose nearly every game. On the other hand you need to score more than 1 goal with your 28 shots.
Overall the game experience was good. The beer was cold, I could see the whole play from my seats and I enjoyed my time. It was hockey game prices for everything. The area is located in the middle of nowhere. At least it is just off the highway so it doesn't take too long to drive. I will attend more Senator games, maybe when so other team is in town besides the Toronto Maple Leafs.
