Playoff hockey returns to Ottawa as Sens prepare for Game 3 at home
For the first time in eight years, playoff hockey is back in Ottawa, and the city is ready for the excitement. The Ottawa Senators will hit home ice Thursday, for Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Puck drops at 7 p.m. at the Canadian Tire Centre. The Senators are trailing the series 0-2 after a pair of tough losses in Toronto, including a dramatic overtime defeat on Tuesday night. But with the series shifting to the capital, fans are hopeful the change in venue can shift momentum. Among those feeling the buzz is former Ottawa Senator Mark Borowiecki, who was part of Ottawa's 2017 playoff run, when the team made it to the eastern Conference final and knows the pressure firsthand. 'I remember playing against Montreal, you're a little shaky sometimes you feel like you forgot how to skate,' said the former defenceman. 'A lot of nerves and excitement and anxiety, all kind of wrapped into one, it's a big opportunity for all of them. You know, playoffs are special. Playoffs at home are even more special and some of my fondest memories.' Borowiecki returned to the ice ahead of Thursday's game, at the Richcraft Sensplex, as Alumni, to support Hockey Helps the Homeless, a fundraiser benefiting the Shepherds of Good Hope. While reflecting on his own playoff memories, he shared what the Sens need to do to turn the tide. 'They're probably looking to jump out to a lead what they're best at in the NHL regular season, going up early so I'm sure that's their game plan.' While the Sens are still chasing their first win of the post-season, fans in Ottawa remain optimistic. 'I think they win both at home,' said Jacob Gauthier, who lives along Elgin Street, now dubbed the Sens Mile during playoff time. He's heading to the game and expects a lively scene at the Canadian Tore Center and the restaurants around his home. 'Maybe a little bit of hazing for Leafs fans. Nothing bad just all in good fun.' Said Gauthier. Bars across the city are preparing for a surge in playoff energy. At The Royal Oak in Stittsville, staff have stopped taking reservations in anticipation of walk-in traffic. 'Everyone really wants to be part of the action,' said assistant manager Cody McCallan. 'We have TSN 1200 coming in to do a live podcast during the game, so it's going to be a lot of excitement and a lot of extra buzz too.' As the Sens get ready to hit the ice at home, Borowiecki says the key will be turning playoff nerves into fuel. 'It's about managing those emotions and making sure they help you in a positive, productive way,' he said. Game 3 remains in Ottawa Saturday night, and the capital is more than ready.
