Rather than discuss the Senators’ incredibly entertaining 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers in game one of this second round series, all of the attention is focused on an issue that has plagued the Senators all season long and cost their Chief Marketing Officer his job: ticket sales.
Last night’s game only drew 16,744 fans or approximately 2,000 fewer than its full capacity, so of course, the mainstream media was going to latch onto the story that a Canadian franchise could not sell out its barn despite the fact that they had reached the second round for only the second time in the past 10 years.
