After watching the video I honestly don't think its that bad. Players talk shit to each other about everything we just never see it. Sucks for these guy this Uber driver decided to upload lol. Gotta admit tho this looks really, really bad on Duchene. Don't be surprised if Dorion decides to deal him away
I agree with you nothing said was bad, you spend everyday with the same people( coach) your going to get annoyed at them especially when things go bad. It was funny and they were all polite to the driver at the end.
It’s truth unscripted truth and I hope for Ottawa’s sake it opens up a meeting or dialogue and gets everybody on the same page or lots of different teams and jobs are coming for a lot of people
If people actually think the coaching staff isn't useless at this point, when the players actually tell it like it is for once (even though they didn't know they were being recorded) then you're as out of touch with the league as the coaches are. I mean if the lessons and systems are the same week in and week out so much so that they don't have to pay attention to them to know how to play them properly, then we need a coaching change, that's a fact.
Alexandre Daigle yeah dude I’m sure the problem is the coaching. No the problem is management and owner. Doesn’t help to have these passive losers giggling about how bad they play
@@5aturnia Never said management wasn't a problem, but the players were talking about the coaching in this video, so I decided to keep it on topic instead of wherever you're bringing it
Alexandre Daigle while I agree with you that it’s reality when you see players talk honestly..its also important to realize that in 2018 YOUR ALWAYS ON CAMERA..there are fans who pay their last dollar to come and see them play and the respect that should be shown to them by keeping things in house and not on the street..just my two cents
I thought that video was awesome. Anyone who’s played competitive sports has said stuff like that. I hope someone puts a video out of Blues players trashing Mike Yeo’s garbage transition game and defensive zone structure.
Zack Steele yeah, but he was great for about 60 games. At the start of last season, the Blues were totally flying despite a bad roster and they just progressively have gotten worse
The owner threatens to move the team but then hands ownership over, they move there best Goalscorer because his wife is bullying the captains wife, proceed to moving that captain who happens to be the best defensemen in the league for a pile of crap in return while the player you paid a lottery pick and more for is bad mouthing coaches and the team with other significant team names jumping on board with the criticisms of the team and special teams coach. This team has become the meme of the hockey world. What’s next idk, I’d take the wager on them sighing Voynov, Jalen Ramsey and proceeding to trade the 1st round pick that would be for Lafreniere for Tom Wilson.
I'm a Sens fan and am the first to say my team is terrible both on the ice and in the front office, but players trashing the coach isn't unique to Ottawa. Every player in the NHL has done this, albeit without am unknown camera filming them.
I feel bad for the rookies in that car being Formenton and Chabot cause they’re now involved in a incredibly awkward situation and its a toxic environment for rookies to be in.
I feel bad too but Formenton will be fine. It’s a given that he’s not talking shit, he only played 9 games. He’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Can you indulge us and just tell us a little bit more?" "Oh yeah... Our penalty kill is awful. We can't stop opponents entering the zone. I haven't paid attention to a staff meeting in weeks... And Bob, let me tell you something about TPS reports..." 🤣
Wow this is hilarious, can't wait to play them tomorrow night! Edit: also, you don't suspend any of them, but you take all of their constructive criticisms seriously and air them out in front of everyone.
Back when I played for my high school, we were just awful and obviously as 17 years old hockey boys, we partied a lot and often thrashed our PE teacher who was the coach and one time at a fundraiser event, about 9 of us (my line, the first line and a few defenceman) were bad mouthing the team while the vice principal was listening to the whole thing. My god did the guy ever yell at us. But like it kinda looked like he agreed with us and a couple weeks later, he coached himself and we started winning games. The locker room culture became a pleasant place. For the first time we actually looked forward to practices. Maybe that’s all Ottawa needs.
@@pahulgill6114 thats what happened in 1971 when Montreal stole California's 1st round pick (which turned into 1st overall pick) to draft Guy Lafleur despite being the 1971 Stanley Cup Champion
What a trash driver, Mr. 15 minutes of fame. SCREW THAAAAT! I could care less what the guys said, seriously. Those poor guys chose the wrong driver. WHAT A TOOL!
Duchene is no longer a young player. At 27 he's essentially a veteran. The biggest problem is this loser showed no leadership skills in that cab. He just added poison. Colorado fans must be laughing at this.
heh... yup. But look on the bright side... the formula for turning your team around and becoming at least decent seems to be... Trade Duchene away! (but wait one season if you would pretty please...)
Honestly if you move out players like they did and you still have a culture problem it could be coming from the top (the owner for my money lol) -- I'd imagine you'd have to change the coaching or the front office to whip em into shape
Jackoosh That is exactly the problem Ottawa has! Melnyk needs to go, Dorion is okay, special teams coach evidently needs to go, and the team needs to just lose for Hughes for Colorado and move on from there
Yeap. Attitude comes from the top down in organizations. You have a shitty owner your employees end up being pretty shitty themselves. If you have a guy that has great integrity then people under you will follow that lead
What should the Ottawa Senators do? Sack the special teams coach? Reprimand the players? It's disappointing this team has been involved with to much controversy as of late.
Matt Duchene has been a selfish whiner his whole career. Duchene is always pointing fingers, blaming others and runs away during times of adversity. Hey Matt time to look in the mirror buddy! Ottawa gave up the kitchen sink for you and you won’t step up. Dude needs a reality check.
Not a coincidence that after Duchene was traded the Avs started playing better. In interviews MacKinnion subtlely let on that he and the team was happy he was gone.
@@aramondehasashi3324 Sadly losers like Duchene aren't exclusive to just sports. I used to be friends with a guy who acted like a wannabe leader but all he did was cause drama and stalk their social media.
The craziest part of this is how fast these players became unhappy in Ottawa. No one except Wideman has been in Ottawa more than a year. Chabot and Formenton are rookies. Demelo and Tierney came over in the Karlsson trade during the summer and Duchene arrived in Ottawa exactly a year go yesterday. The franchise is is running itself into the ground
It’s just a bunch of humans talking about their work. I was employed with a tech company that everyone knew was going to collapse. You don’t want to hear the things we all said about our bosses, the quality of the software, or what we thought about our customers. People get frustrated, this is just how humans are. We try to find things to blame. Oftentimes in sports, it’s the coach.
For the record, the players are dead right about the teams coaching. It's terrible from Boucher to Raymond and I believe a coaching change would be very beneficial to the team and it's performance. Like you always say, the coach is easier to get rid of then the players.
The comments on the video are blaming the Uber driver for this “invasion of privacy” but like? They said it in public??? It’s not like he secretly recorded them at Duchene’s house. Like I get you think it’s scummy but threatening to doxx him isn’t exactly the moral thing here either
timestamp on the video = new year's day 2017 ..so why is it only being leaked online now (almost 2 years late)? ..*but Duchene was traded to Ottawa on November 5, 2017 - so what's the correct date (when this video was recorded)??
I agree with you that there has to be lines of communication between coach and player..the question is..who is the leader in that locker room to step up and say “hey coach, this isn’t working..guys are frustrated” with karlson gone..who does this?
The truth isn't always a beautiful thing. I would guess the head coach is going to make those poor souls skate until they puke. I remember the quote from the Mighty Ducks movie;" Do you think losing is fun? Well, not at first, but once you get the hang it." We will see if the Sens get the hang of it.
Just a couple days ago (and granted, he knew the cameras were running) Blue Jackets Captain Nick Foligno was lamenting the state of their powerplay, and he sticks up for Larsen, their powerplay coach, and puts the onus on the players, himself included.
This entire video is completely unbelievable and disgraceful! It pisses me off that anyone at that high a level could say things like that! I completely understand being frustrated especially the Sens but having no team loyalty or pride! Embarrassing for the Sens and the game in general 😔
And btw, Every single person has talked shit about their bosses or coworkers. Shit, we wouldn't be able to get through the day without doing so at my job. It doesn't look good, but its not that bad. Rather than punish the players maybe do something about the staff. Listen to your players/ employees. If they aren't happy obviously something is wrong
After playing hockey for years I know how my high school or college coaches would approach something like this so all I can do his cringe thinking about how bad the locker room is going to be
As A Bruins fan, I make the joke that Patrice Bergeron is really the Special Teams Coach. Ask Avalanche fans about Joe Sacco. Yeah, he's supposed to be the Bruins Special Teams Coach and still employed in the NHL.
This is an important learning / team building moment. Maybe not the best way to start...but it is what it is. They need to handle it as professionals. Rather than fine / suspend, they should as a team have a meeting and address the on ice issues. Let the coach know it's just not working. Say why it's not working. Don't get mad, get motivated. Figure it out as a team/line. You can't blame the players for speaking the truth from their perspective.
You know what's even funnier is that at the end the Uber driver says "Fuck you." Obviously he probably thought they'd give him a bigger tip or something but yeah right after he said "Fuck you.", you can tell he was going to air it and make it noticeable.
Really any player could find something to complain about on any team they're on - and probably do. It's just more bad luck for Ottawa that this was caught on tape.
I wonder if part of the problem is Duchene himself. Ottawa got the best player in the three player trade, Nashville got a useful second line center, but Colorado seemed to be the only team that truly benefited from the trade. Addition by subtraction. Is Duchene just a toxic player?
Another layer into this drama-laden team. Geez, you sure there isn't anyone with the money to just buy the franchise off Melnyk's hands? Everything wrong with this team starts with him, and the odds of Melnyk pulling off a D Sterling and get run out of the League is very, very slim. I am not a Sens fan, but man, they do not deserve this at all.
I agree with you about a culture problem within the Sens. I know that if were the Leafs Shanny would not have it and players will be fined and suspended.
I saw the video but I don’t know who the players are, could you tell me who was in there please. I know formenton chabot and duchene were there but who arr the others and who’s the one in front besidr tbe driver? Thanks guys!
Imagine being a hardcore fan that has season tickets, i feel so fuckin bad. I thought the down years in Vancouver were bad, this is a whole other level.
I could see Ottawa Management suspending its most notable player(s) from that car ride. For example suspending Duchene for at least a game to send a message to everyone else.
In this day and age, naming names and leaving no doubt, you have to think they WANTED this out there! Trying to create a buzz in the locker room perhaps :P
At least Duchene's not the only one who's disinterested anymore, really it's all just depressed laughing, on a happier note Pacciorety has been seen smiling
I live in Ottawa. Do you think that I want to spend my hard won income on tickets or hear for this team? They seriously do not look like they are trying either. Be at least competitive!
Meanwhile the club owners continue to sit there scratching their heads why fans are not showing up? This is just ridiculously stupid from those players. Good grief.....
Yikes. I would think that upon entering a cab/uber you would be made aware, likely via signage, that you were being recorded much in the same way you would be in a mall or a school. The expectation of privacy in these situations is forfeited in favour of the well being of the driver. For example in the case of a violent encounter or even something minor like a fare jumper. So while it is dirty pool on part of the driver or whomever released the video I don't think it's in any way illegal.
This is absolutely getting blown out of proportion, why would the coach make the strategy more complex when they can't execute the simple version of it that he is trying to nail into their thick skulls for 3 weeks and they still can't grasp/execute. Also - there are privacy laws that have to be getting broken by whomever leaked this video from the cab company. The vehicle itself probably had signs installed that they could read to know they could be getting recorded, but if they didn't break any laws while in the cab this video should never see the light of day.
I am a big Sens fan. And I love chabot and how he is playing like the best under 23 defenseman right now. But it makes me really hard to respect and the others after that.
Everything they said was true, and reallllly funny. I'm starting to laugh at this tire fire now

I saw the video but I don’t know who the players are, could you tell me who was in there please. I know formenton chabot and duchene were there but who arr the others and who’s the one in front besidr tbe driver? Thanks guys!
Chris wideman is beside the uber driver and Tierney and demelo are in the car as well
Yup puy thanks boy ;)
I think Colin White was there as well
Everything that was said was TRUE . Time to fire the coaching staff
I don’t watch hockey all the time but Ottawa Senators have 1 of the best NHL logo!!
We should've expected this was happening anyways
Chris Weidman is totally getting traded
I know it’s a bad look for the guys in the car, but honestly their conversation is really funny 😂
The question for me re Sens is always “how much of this is because of Melnyk?” Seems like his attitude seeps into everything.
Imagine being a hardcore fan that has season tickets, i feel so fuckin bad. I thought the down years in Vancouver were bad, this is a whole other level.
They gotta do something with this team, personally when I think of Ottawa I can't take them seriously
This has been an episode of Days of our Senators
I'd work them harder for the next few practices.
Someone photoshop an avs jersey on the Uber driver
I could see Ottawa Management suspending its most notable player(s) from that car ride. For example suspending Duchene for at least a game to send a message to everyone else.
I don't think they can. They will probably lose those games and that's something they can't afford.
Coaching change is probably the best way to go.
They just took Tampa to OT in a game they were mostly ahead in. Could be worse for a team in awkward rebuild mode.
In this day and age, naming names and leaving no doubt, you have to think they WANTED this out there! Trying to create a buzz in the locker room perhaps :P
At least Duchene's not the only one who's disinterested anymore, really it's all just depressed laughing, on a happier note Pacciorety has been seen smiling
Ottawa needs to clean house. You cannot have a toxic environment like that in an NHL locker room
This should drop them in the power rankings this week... :D
Couple points:
1. Everyone does it
2. It’s hilarious
3. Yes this does look bad when caught on camera though
I live in Ottawa. Do you think that I want to spend my hard won income on tickets or hear for this team? They seriously do not look like they are trying either. Be at least competitive!
Meanwhile the club owners continue to sit there scratching their heads why fans are not showing up? This is just ridiculously stupid from those players. Good grief.....
Camera's everywhere. Flip that calendar..
Wideman, Duchene, Chabot, Tierney, DeMelo, and Formenton were the 6 guys in the uber
Yikes. I would think that upon entering a cab/uber you would be made aware, likely via signage, that you were being recorded much in the same way you would be in a mall or a school. The expectation of privacy in these situations is forfeited in favour of the well being of the driver. For example in the case of a violent encounter or even something minor like a fare jumper. So while it is dirty pool on part of the driver or whomever released the video I don't think it's in any way illegal.
Yeah, we were on that list for years....not a good place to be.
Just a friendly reminder that Matt Duchene moved to Ottawa to play play-off hockey 😁
This is absolutely getting blown out of proportion, why would the coach make the strategy more complex when they can't execute the simple version of it that he is trying to nail into their thick skulls for 3 weeks and they still can't grasp/execute.
Also - there are privacy laws that have to be getting broken by whomever leaked this video from the cab company. The vehicle itself probably had signs installed that they could read to know they could be getting recorded, but if they didn't break any laws while in the cab this video should never see the light of day.
It depends where it was recorded. In certain parts of the US, I am pretty sure this is legal. In Canada, pretty sure it isn't.
Its like Queen Amidala would say.
"But I'm a senator".
It was in a minivan (sliding doors)...Not a suv.
I am a big Sens fan. And I love chabot and how he is playing like the best under 23 defenseman right now. But it makes me really hard to respect and the others after that.
