Going to the opener at the Olympic Stadium, on April 23rd.
This season looks like it might really BE the last year in Montreal...
Man, I have to get to Montreal before it's no longer used for major league baseball. I know Olympic Stadium isn't a great baseball stadium, but I've vowed to see as many stadiums as possible in my lifetime and I'm only up to 10.
Geeze...Washington deserves it most, yeah (as long as they don't turn the Expos into the Capitals of the MLB). Not Virgina, though, nooooo. Yeesh this sucks. Stupid baseball.
But a good thing about this season is the The Score is broadcasting 27 Expos games...that's a lot better than the usual 4 that they show on TV, all on TBS vs. the Braves (which are all away games).
So... which team is Bo Jackson on? He's not on the... *looks at sig*... blue... team? The KC team anymore?
You can take the sub way straight too the olympic stadium , theres a terminal right inside the building.
I wonder what the stadium is gonna do with the Expos gone?
They'd BETTER call them the Capitals! That or the Nationals, but that name was used just in the very early 1900s and they switched to the Capitals a long, long time ago...
Oh and last year ESPN called Olympic Stadium one of the very worst stadiums in baseball. :)
Washington already has a team called the Capitals, though. Nationals wouldn't be bad, just as long as they dont' call themselves the Senators. There's already a team called the Senators in pro sports. No room for another.

Phh, ESPN also had the Expos as number 97 on the top franchise list (out of 120 teams) so it shows how much they know (they had your Sox at 95, just so ya know). However the Oilers were the highest ranked NHL team, but the Flames were at 52. How'd they get so high?

Erm sorry. You confused me. It'd be the Senators of course. The MLB team was first so they can call themselves it if they want! If it goes to Washington and is anything else I'd be pretty dissapointed... 'Nationals' is older, and wasn't used for as long. They were the Senators until they left for the final time in the early '70s...
The Ottawa Senators were a professional hockey team in the early 1900's. They had the first Stanley Cup dynasty, and have their name on the cup more than a couple of times.
So find a new name. :p
1901? Well okay I don't know when they started being called the 'Senators', but that's when the team was founded anyway...
According to
www.sportsecyclopedia.com, the Ottawa franchise was founded in 1884 as the Ottawa Generals, whereas the Washington Senators were founded in 1886. In 1901 the Washington team was re-christened Nationals, and in 1902 the Ottawa team changed its name to Senators.
That website says that Kovalev took a dive last night to cost the Canadiens the game. And since when has he been "notorious" for diving?? Insanity. They also say that the Flames haven't won a playoff series in 15 years, even though they won the Cup in 89 (which sucks. I hate the Flames)
... '89 was 15 years ago... :D
And so the only question I have left is 'when did the Nationals become the Senators again'...

That's right.
... right ... But those dates? Shouldn't they be easy enough to look up if you look in the right place?
