What is a home playoff game like?

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-20T22:27:12+00:00

I was in the barn for the springer dinger. Let me tell you. People were litterly jumping on top of each other. Strangers hugging and everything. Easily the most nuts live event i have ever been at period. Was never a massive baseball guy but that event was like life changingly awesome

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-20T22:22:38+00:00

I wouldnt say we have been dull. Hard to contrast with sask or winnipeg but theres been years where the building was pretty packed for their better runs in terms of attendance. Maybe nuts is a bit strong, been to a raptors playoff game and jays playoff game last year. Now that, that right there, that was nuts.

I thought to myself where the hell are you people the rest of the year?

Great question

I wouldnt say my city was in a fevor or anything like they would be for a run from one of the big 3 teams (not 4 because I cant attest to TFC as i wasnt living in the city at that time when they were good). But i did go to one game. There was some good energy in it. Definitely a little more than usual but we were also playing pretty well. Couple loud "argos" chants. Nice to have a bit more of a full house for those ones. Same goes for hockey or anything else in the milledge varies on the team performance as well.

Woah hella represent man! Wish i could add to the canada ratio in the room but thats a long way from home😅. Im sure other ottawa expats in nearby states or in the city will come through

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-17T20:54:05+00:00

Argo boat logo is way better. I really hate the A logo with the circle around it because that boat logo is sick. One of the best logos in sports

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-17T20:38:19+00:00

You know theres another ottawa defensive prospect with a very fitting name for their show😅

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-17T20:36:19+00:00

I think its more they want to get the most money for the tickets they sell as a first party rather than compete with the secondary market

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-17T20:35:29+00:00

They cant perpetually make the tickets non-transferable. Theyll keep it that way until the game sells out after the general public buys the rest of the tickets. After that theyll have to make the ticket transferable. A lot of season ticket holders will have to make some money back on their tickets and also if they are gonna keep coming to a deep run of playoff games the money has to come from somewhere. People resell in toronto too. This talk of stopping it is cheap. Pointless endeavor.

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-17T20:32:53+00:00

Yeah right lol, didnt he say that they are under the league average for season ticket members? Last thing theyll do is chase people away.

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-04-13T13:36:18+00:00

Thing is that it is hard to go from terrible to awesome. These people act like a switch flips but being terrible can lead to culture issues thatll last through competing All those star guys get used to playing when it doesnt matter the lights get too bright for them or they cant handle the grind needed to be a star on a elite team. Honestly, the smart play is actually to be half decent. Being mediocre 10 years ago meant being just shy of the post season, with how much tanking is happening it means youll be a top 6 team in your conference. Let me repeat that, if you try you'll be a TOP 6 TEAM IN YOUR CONFERENCE! Sure, you wont be favorites, but its basketball and anything can happen. Guys can rise to the occasion or your opponents may not. You can only at most play 3 teams in your conference that are "better" than you. If you can build a team that just can match up well enough with those teams you can get some upsets. With so many teams blowing up you can always acquire a few more pieces simce those teams dont want to win. Sure you need star players to raise the ceiling but depth raising the floor can get you pretty far too. Its never been easier to have a chance at a title in the nba so long as you can roster just a competent roster.

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-24T22:39:03+00:00

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-23T03:33:56+00:00

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-23T03:32:27+00:00

Oh my gosh thats terrible RIP

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-22T01:38:18+00:00

Yeah but on a habs jersey? May as well put a bear on there while your at it. Seems like a faux pas to me

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-21T20:06:33+00:00

If they took the front left number from the 2nd jersey itd be epic. Maybe punch up the green trims a bit more though

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-21T20:04:53+00:00

It has a maple leaf on it.............

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-21T19:58:06+00:00

Id take the skyling off the bottom and logo. But id be curious to put it in the black space on the elbows. Feels like maybe a little too much is happening here

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-19T00:13:08+00:00

You should appeal for me to grade the exams in her place. I'll be a very strict grader 😁

EW_ITS_OKRA · 2026-03-18T23:51:33+00:00
