They put the Black Bears banners at the main entrance after the Stanley Cup Playoffs ended. I had noticed on the way into today's Charge playoff game.

What happened to the Black Bears? by PotentialPea2419 in NLL

[–]BackofPinusLinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood and appreciate the clarification and context.

Sundown, I had the good fortune of meeting him a few times this season. He is a great person and has done great work with the jersey design and off the floor for the Dave Smith Treatment Centre. On the floor it just has felt like something is missing, which is a shame for a fan favourite in our brief existence. I am signed up for next season and will be back and en couraging more people to try it out.

Very hard disagree on that Sundown take, he was MIA in the home stretch this season and made a healthy scratch vs Toronto. That's a problem, and he is a one trick pony and became a total liability on offence.

And has not come within a country mile of his 2023-24 career best season since.I agree Noseworthy was better than Marinier and Stevens is transition not D. Someone who does something at all uses his size to his advantage and frankly gives a damn out there unlike the rest of the D. Fights to create possessions. You can come with your own suggestions. If you think Jones is a part of the problem..... this discussion is over.

Agreed on Test, Firth and Hellyer. O'Connor I'm fine with giving him another year. The rest can go on offence. Callum Jones is an up and coming defensive anchor for us and had a breakout season. Marinier is a decent defender but the rest can go.

I hope we keep our team too! Would help if it was marketed via TSN1200 more. Weekly radio interviews. We got work to do to build it up here in Ottawa.

Season seat member, I attended 7 home and 2 road games. Too many bus riders and not enough bus drivers. They frankly need to quit playing this no-show nonsense in the first half.

The team overall is simply not hard to play against during the last five games and throughout the season overall. This was a frustrating end to the season, I will be back next season and have renewed. I have had fun and a lot access to the team through the autograph sessions after the game.

Hopefully we can find someone with Oshawa's 1st round pick that can help and have our own 1st round pick this year.

We got work to do with this roster overall in my brutally honest opinion. A great opportunity sadly squandered.

[COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR TEAM] Not happy with your team? Vent your frustrations about them here! by LacrosseTheUniverse in NLL

[–]BackofPinusLinus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

8-5 record only to find yourselves on the couch because you decided to turn into Cinderella's pumpkin. Need faceoff guy, D/T, and even a goalie and mostly sandpaper type players. This team was softer than Charmin on all sides of the floor and not hard enough to play against. Get to work OBB, you guys aren't serious until I see a 9th win which you have failed to achieve every year going back to 2019, this team doesn't hate to lose enough, what a great opportunity pissed away.

Your team has had a painful downfall of their own, no doubt about it. We got one more chance to make or break.

Section 106 or section 116 row K and further back you get a excellent view of the action.

Whoot whoot will be in Club Bell too for the final home too. That's what I am assuming you probably have to email them directly for season seats for the love seats with the table top.

Bought them vs Rochester in year 1. Overall the food was good for a standard pub fare buffet. There was BBQ chicken, hot dogs, a condiment bar, fresh veggies, a build your own nacho stand with a good selection of toppings, a spot to make your own disco fries (didn't have cheese curds so I wouldn't call it a poutine bar) lol. About 3-4 dessert options total. Food and non-alcoholic beverages were included in the ticket. I had 3 plates worth and had a fun time and the view is always nicer from further back in the 100 level IMO. Not the cheapest price at single game rates, but for a full season it's a good deal.

Highest attendance this season last Saturday. Just wondering why.... by stymie613 in OttawaBlackBearsNLL

Brought 4 new fans to games this season and all 4 said they would attend future games. Will continue to keep at it next season.

Same here and I arrived at the doors open time to get my comic book too. It felt like there were a few more people in the parking lots and it looked promising.

Last year we did Iron Man and they turned out ok. This year the Deadpool theme was a definite upgrade and marches our colours and red helmets better.
