Looks like a cheap but clean hotel in downtown Ottawa for Saturday night will run you $250 - $300 when you include all the fees.

Then it's just a matter of figuring out how you are going to get out to the arena. Last time I was there, we ate dinner at a pub in the market, and they charged you $10 for a bus to and from the game.

Dude, there are hotels within 10 minutes of the arena. Why would you overpay to stay downtown?

Or we could all stay at Frenchie's house.

I just checked - all the hotels in Kanata are more expensive than downtown Ottawa.

Siegel's proposed lineup:

I wonder if Stolarz starts tonight. Long time between games otherwise

Stay at the Best Western on Carling then. Quick access to the Highway, decent place, good prices, within quick driving to Hintonburg (where I live!) and Little Italy/Chinatown which have some really nice restaurants.

Weird - ticket prices for tonight's game are a lot higher than I thought.

$210 is the cheapest seat in the house right now.

And not a lot of inventory.

Feel like an idiot. The 10am sale of tickets was for season ticket holders. General public is at noon

I live just west of CTC, but am in Toronto for the 2 games that are in Ottawa
a friend has someone who can get us tickets...so thats a bummer

If I'm going to a Leafs playoff game in Ottawa, I won't be driving.

Excellent question.

I'd start Woll, but so far Berube hasn't asked for my opinion.

Enjoy the Uber surge charges

What’s with the love of Pacioretty?

The guy hasn’t played since February 8th and there are people who think it’s a good idea to pop him into game 1 of the playoffs 2 and a half months later?

His experience isn’t worth that much, not in my eyes anyways.

Agreed.

Agreed.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah, not trying to be an ass, I like the guy, but he needs to have some good practices before he makes a game imo

I don't see what Jarnkrok has done to take himself out of the lineup.

You know how Max Domi has been a colossal disappointment this year, with only 8 goals and 25 assists, and a P/GP of 0.45?

Pacioretty has 5 goals and 8 assists. That's it. Yes, only 37 games, but his P/GP is only 0.35.

I can think of a dozen guys I'd put on the 2nd line ahead of him. Or in the lineup ahead of him.

Well then I hope we don't win the Stanley Cup, because I don't want to have to hear the criticism from Tampa and Vegas fans who say we hid... (checks notes)... $873,770 on the LTIR list.

I said it before and even more sure now.
Habs will take out Washington in 6 games.
- alex.TML

I've been hate watching the Habs a bit down the stretch, they are not a good team. Washington absolutely obliterates them.

my expectations for MP who makes 900k wasnt that high. but Domi makes 3.7

I don't see what Jarnkrok has done to take himself out of the lineup.
- AdamFrench

If anything I see Jarnkrok and Kampf being the back and forth two, depends on if they need some offensive talent or defensive/faceoff talent on the 4th line basically

Domi overall has had a brutal season agreed, but as of late he’s been way better.

I mean let’s face it, out of Domi’s 33 points 20 of them have come in 2025, 10 of which in the last 22 games, he’s picking up just in time for the post season.
