Thankfully things were quieter after the Sens' 5-4 win last night, possibly because it was a week night.The above is a photo of City crews installing a "Sens Mile" street sign on the South-West corner of Elgin at Somerset yesterday. Today they were installing the one at the North-East corner (among many others, I'm sure!).
Whether you like it or not, Elgin is very definitely Ottawa's Hockey Street.

Ottawa was positively sleepy compared to Edmonton in the playoffs. If we make it much farther, I'm sure it will get noisy by public servant standards, but it's not like there's nightly riots, spontaneous parades and bonfires in the middle of the street.
ReplyDeleteI lived on Slater in 2007 when we went to the Finals. The noise continued well past 2 am... honking, screaming, yelling, cheering.
ReplyDeleteBut it was pretty cool hearing all the celebrations during goals from all the different apartments nearby!

Allison you'll also have to remember that the city of Edmonton shut the whole thing down after the frequent stabbings, violence, and general mayhem. Things just got out of hand (including bonfires in the street).
ReplyDeleteIt was less about celebrating a team and a city, and more about getting drunk and causing havoc.
