Senators See Thousands Of Empty Seats For Second-Round Opener

A crowd of 16,744 attended last night's Rangers-Senators Stanley Cup Playoffs second-round opener at Canadian Tire Centre, the "smallest home gate this post-season by about 2,000." Hundreds of empty seats were "conspicuous at all three arena levels" for the Senators' Game 1 win. Crowds were "longer in the outdoor face-paint lines than at the inside ticket windows." This is only the second time since '07 the Senators have been "among the final eight teams" (OTTAWA CITIZEN, 4/28).
