Jason Spezza was in Ottawa during the senators' glory years when attendance was at its peak. To see Canadian Tire Centre now as a member of the mapleleafs brings Spezza a mix of disappointment and shock. (lukefoxjukebox)

Spezza feels a mixture of disappointment and shock at what has happened since 2012, as the Sens have steadily, clumsily tumbled from the sixth-best home draw in hockey to 31st.

“This is too good of a hockey city. You don’t want to put it in jeopardy, where people think it’s a bad market. You need full buildings for things to go well, so I’d like to see the buildings full here again because it’s just such a strong hockey community.” “He has strong ties to this community here, and this is important game for him. So, knowing how it felt when you came back, you want to win because you want to have good feelings leaving the rink where you have had good feelings in the past,” said Spezza, who spent time talking with Keefe about their mutual connection to the area.

Senators MapleLeafs lukefoxjukebox It doesn’t help when the team management and Melnyk are really to blame for this. Edmonton has spoken too. For too many years the fans sold out the place in support of a plan (whatever that was) only to be lied to. Barely full barn these days..
