For those of you who can't wait until the 2011-12 season starts, I bring good news. The pre-season schedule has been released and it's familiar foes on the calendar. The Sens will take on division rivals Toronto, Montreal and Boston twice each, one home and one away, as well as participating in the Hockeyville game for a 2nd consecutive year. This time the lucky town is Conception Bay South, Newfoundland that has a population of around twenty thousand. We will be taking on the new Winnipeg franchise on the rock September 26th. I would imagine that Newfie Colin Greening is excited about the news.
The full schedule is as follows: (all times eastern)
Monday, Sept. 19: Ottawa at Toronto, 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 21: Boston at Ottawa, 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Sept. 23: Montreal at Ottawa, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 24: Ottawa at Montreal, 7 p.m.
Monday, Sept. 26: Ottawa vs Winnipeg, Hockeyville, Conception Bay South, N.L.
Tuesday, Sept. 27: Toronto at Ottawa, 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 29: Ottawa at Boston
