Sens Mile on Thursday night will either be soaked in tears or still rocking in the wee hours of Friday morning.
With the Ottawa Senators winning Game 6 on Tuesday night and forcing a deciding game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, there is no doubt the Sens Mile and other entertainment districts in the capital are in for a doozy of an evening.
The strip echoed with cheers when Senators forward Mike Hoffman netted the second goal. At Sir John A Pub, the packed-in fans erupted in a Go Sens Go chant, while a couple of men went, literally, screaming up Elgin Street as the TVs replayed the highlight.
Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final will be the biggest sporting event in Ottawa so far this year.
Shawn O’Reilly, was catching pieces of the game from outside Deacon Brodie’s, described Senators captain Erik Karlsson as a “warrior” who has carried the team to success that no one predicted.
“They went farther than anyone ever expected,” O’Reilly said.
Ryan Lafrenière was outside the Standard in between periods celebrating the Senators, even without knowing what the final score would be.
“We weren’t expected to make the playoffs,” Lafrenière said. “What more could you ask for?”
At Lewis Street, Brent Lens and Jay Edward were jamming Midnight Oil and Eagles tunes during the intermissions and playing the radio play-by-play of the game.
“We’re the bargain-basement halftime show,” Lens quipped.
Not all bars were jammed with fans Tuesday night, but the ones that were were filled were filled with tension.
The faces of fans seen through the pub windows told the game story.
When the Senators couldn’t clear their zone, the fans were yelling at the TVs. When there was a big save by goalie Craig Anderson, the fans threw up their arms.
“I don’t want us to lose. I’ll feel horrible,” Sam Oshidar said outside Maclarens. “I’m just so excited. It’s an emotional roller-coaster.”
