Game Time: 7:30 PM EST
Television: None
Radio: 560 WQAM
The Ottawa Senators visit South Florida for the first time this season. The Panthers are coming in hot off back-to-back wins in New Jersey and Long Island last weekend, while the Sens shut out the Lightning 4-0 last night in Tampa. The Senators have more or less owned the Panthers the last few years, but the Cats really need to get past them to keep putting some distance between themselves and the Capitals. Tonight's game will not be televised because it's in the national blackout zone. Usually when a Canadian team is playing, the game is still broadcast in Canada, but that will not be the case this evening. Randy Moller will have the game call on WQAM tonight, and even without a television feed, we'll be chatting in the game thread tonight at the usual time.

I’m thinking Clemmer, given that WSH awaits on Friday.
Of course this means Theo will start tonight.

not liking the trends in this one. Ottawa owns the Cats right now and then there is that aversion to four game winning streaks.
114 days until Prometheus
Had an aversion to three-game streaks before Sunday too ;)

I’ve got Comcast Center Ice Pkg. Game channel 4 is CHANNEL 774 on Comcast. Check your Direct TV Center Ice menu for tonight….They are showing the Panther-Senator game at 7:30 on what they call a “SPECIAL JUMBOTRON FEED”
Thx for tracking all of this down, Laus :)

The Senators issued a press release about this.
Apparently it’s going to be the video board feed combined with the Panthers’ radio broadcast.
Gonna love Moller

I just noticed that in the post, only his name is mentioned for the radio broadcast. Does he have a partner, or does he work alone a la Vin Scully?
With the great Kenny Rogers(?) too
I’m putting here for reflection later on in the season…. #14 Tomas [Fleischmann] is getting a 40G season. FLASH COUNT: 18G/24A

He used to have Billy Lindsay in the booth with him. They were pretty good as a pair. Billy got moved to TV when Denis Potvin wasn’t retained. Sorry, dzuunmod, I hope you’re treated to several of his wacky goal calls.

My understanding
is that it’s the same across most/all Centre Ice packages. My cable company (it’s an obscure one serving northern Canada) uses a US CI package (whenever a Canadian team plays an American team, it’s the American broadcast that we get).
Tonight’s game is listed in my guide.
Should be
