The morning after the Ottawa Senators announced the removal of 1,500 seats from Canadian Tire Centre in order to "right size" the arena, the Ottawa RedBlacks jumped on Twitter to jokingly break some news.
The tweet has since been deleted.
The RedBlacks - winners of the 2016 Grey Cup - average near capacity attendance, while the Senators struggled to fill their building during their run to the Eastern Conference finals this past spring.
Interestingly, the Senators will host the Montreal Canadiens at TD Place on Dec. 16 for the NHL100 Classic.
Those extra seats may come in handy after all.
