Do you really think a professional gm is stupid enough to do this? The sens organization will not be in Ottawa for much longer. That way they can go to Houston or Quebec or whatever and keep their 32 league
@Sean Blu Digital How would it of made it more interesting? Watching a team play coached by Bucher is like watching paint dry. Did you not watch that series at all, just neutral zone trap and clog the lanes with bodies, boring.
Ottawa was never this team.. they've always made the playoffs, always had a respected team, respected organization.. they were at the top of the league in attendance for almost 15 years... something happened.. they have been cursed..

Chewy Ltd I think it was actually the Turris trade when you can’t come to terms with your most consistent player your heart and soul guy in the community like Turris was and wouldn’t even keep him till the deadline trying to work on a contract that was the first sign you couldn’t trust the management
love you fellow sens fan, we have been one of the most respected organizations for almost 20 years, we've been successful.. this isn't us, we will go back to our old self.
in Melynk's mind, he's doing all he can to give the sens a winner and it's his incompetent staff that's at fault. Yet to every other rational and intelligent human being, Melynik is destroying the sens from the ground up.
kyle mitchell Melnyk’s idea of a successful hockey team is only one that makes money for him, he gives 0 shits about winning a cup or the fans of Ottawa
Go on Eugene Melnyk's Wikipedia page right now. It says and I kid you not it says "Eugene Melnyk is a cheapskate Canadian businessman who has resided in Barbados since February 1991". As a Sens fan I bursted out laughing.
I think enough is enough with the Ottawa to Quebec comments. Ottawa has a great fan base who’s been taken for granted by their owner and watched their team mismanaged and taken apart before their eyes. Doing what seems like all he can to lose our fan base. Solution bring us a new owner that cares about the team, the city and the people of Ottawa.
Either that or the NHL is gonna have to expand to 36 if Melnyk moves to Quebec City. To be fair, I’d rather it be given to a new owner so ottawa stays, but Melnyk seems dead set on staying owner.
you know whats crazy? This could've been their lineup if they kept it together Tkachuk - Duchene - Stone Dzingel - White - Ryan Boedker - Tierney - Pageau Smith - ? - Paajarvi Chabot - Karlsson ? - Ceci ? - DeMelo I know thats not an allstar lineup but could easily challenge for a playoff spot.
As someone who work for the senators organization I can tell you they do treat us like complete trash not paying people, stealing money from events and some other things they still owe me $500 and it’s been a year and I don’t expect them to pay me or others
@James Bande Ottawa was near the top of league in attendance for almost 15 years, it's no coincidence that attendance has fallen, nearly 5,000 season ticket holders gave up their tickets last year... nobody is driving 40 kilometers outside of Ottawa to watch this effing team play, because you know.. the Senators don't actually play in Ottawa... use your god damn head!
@@SomeTruthSerum It's best to have a stadium or arena that's close to a major highway junction... or that's situated right by public-transit(namely trains) services.
The management has been garbage for years. Look at how awful they've been to sens alumni. How bad do you have to be for Alfie to quit the a suit job with the franchise after he hanged up his skates?
Boucher had nothing to do with this decision, if he did Melnyk would of made him resign if he wanted out. That way Ottawa wouldn't have to pay the end of his contract
I’m a Vegas Fan & obviously started Following Hockey just last year & I don’t mean to talk crap but I agree with these guys & the Ottawa Fans & I think your GM is a Two Faced Liar!
Daniel Alfredsson's career wasted in the end. Trade away Kyle Turis, and the potential Jack Hughes pick for Mat Dutchess, trades away Karlsson, trades away Dutchess, trades away Mark Stone, trades Dzingel. Then fires the first decent coach in awhile who actually helped develop all these players into two way players by focusing on defense first 🤣 Ottawa is an AHL development team playing in the NHL that's struggling to build new arena. Good riddance to Smellynk he needs to go bye bye.
The media downplays it but the Sens have many, many fans. Probably more fans than Florida and Arizona combined honestly. I think Melnyk needs to sell the team NOW but they'll stay in Ottawa. The idea they are done in the league after two dismal seasons is ridiculous. They are NOT the Atlanta Thrashers or say the Hartford Whalers. The Sens have had great success in years past winning everything except the Cup. Dorien sucks as GM but you gotta wonder how much Melnyck is pulling his strings?
This whole organization went to crap when they missed out on the Taylor hall trade, cause melnyk was out playing golf instead of answering his phone. He missed out on a piece that would have gave them that push to get a cup the next season. Instead of the top guys owning up to their mistake, they tried to save face by bringing in Duchesne. It's kinda like losing big in a poker hand and then trying to recoup your loses. It never works, you just keep losing until you got nothing left.
Marc Bergiven: “PK is a Hab for life” Just don’t shut up gms, why say something just to throw it out the next day? Especially if it’s a dumb decision to tell the media.
I’d still rather be the sens than the oilers. The sens are stacked with prospects, picks and cap space. The oilers are capped out and have one bona fide prospect in their pipeline. Melnyk is just a weird guy. Anyone who buys a sports team to make a consistent annual profit and throws a public fit when he’s in the red is bound to be full of weird ideas about how to run the hockey operations. Billionaires buy teams for their personal prestige, ego validation and to turn an eventual profit on the appreciation of the franchise. Melnyk runs his team like he’s operating a convenience store.
how is that..? The Senators have only sucked for like 2 years... They had an 11 year playoff streak, won the presidents trophy.. several conference finals appearence, finals appearence, a lot of division titles in the last 20 something years.. you guys have gold fish memory if you think the Senators have always been bad.......
If Ottawa had better ownership, a GM that can rebuild, and a scouting staff that is better at the pro and amateur valuations for finding important players. This is why Ottawa is backsliding tremendously.
I feel bad , like actually really bad for Pierre , this poor guy has to resign , he will never work in the NHL after what Eugene has done to that team. Ottawa fans , you need a new owner
As a Senators fan that is trying to weather this storm... I agree with everything that Sid said in his rant. Sens management has lost credibility and does not know how to effectively deal with PR. Their timing on these issues shows how incompetent they are with the situations. I think I will listen to Boroweicki more as he is the only credible source inside the organization that is an honest and humble fellow who knows how to do interviews with the media. I totally need to get a Boroweicki jersey now... but I will still support the team, just not the cheapskate of an owner.
It’s such a shame. The city of Ottawa and its fans deserve so much better than this circus. It’s a dumpster fire that got pushed off a cliff into dump full of tire fires
What did they honestly expect from Boucher , the team was doomed since the start of the season because of a botched Kalrsson, Hoffman trade. Top it off with an owner who dumps assets because he doesn’t want to pay them and I’m talking about players and front office personnel, this team is running a bare bone operation.
he didn't want to wait until the end of the season cuz boucher was playing guys that shouldn't be playing. he was giving batherson and balcers about 4 minutes a night and zack smith first line minutes, not to mention scratching wolanin (one of our best young d-men rn) instead of harpur, or ceci. ottawa wasn't going to win a single game for the rest of the year with zack smith on the first line. that's why boucher is gone. bad coach
Firing makes perfect sense....Canucks didn't fire Willie Dejersdens when the should have and he finished his last season playing Jason Megna more than anyone
Hughes and Kakko are watching this go down and must be real happy that the Sens dont have their first round pick
Sens has traded there first pick to Colorado this year so
I’d probably choose Ottawa over Edmonton 99/100 times

that sounds pretty accurate to me!
Egg? I’m thinking of a more pungent organic material.

Move Ottawa to Quebec City. Eugene "the cheap" jeep is destroying the Senators. They need a fresh start in Quebec City.
When Boucher got fired I was waiting for Sid and his Senators rant on this.
But now, at the end of 2020...the dumpster fire might now be put out.
Same guy that said...."We're a team."
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Guy approached Dorion and asked to be fired. Coaches don't quit midseason.
That or the owner stepped in and demanded it
This guy must be friends and get pointers from the Oilers old GM
I'm surprised melynk didnt step in as intermediate coach
Boucher probably asked to get fired and wanted out but probably got paid out more if he was fired.
Get rid of Melnyk. He's the common denominator.

They didn’t get a downtown arena, because there’s already a big building full of marginal players with deceitful management called Parliament!
Let's be honest here any Stanley cup won before 1967 shouldn't count

Eitan Ben Dor the pasture is coming when they tear down your rink!
Spoken like a true losing GM, big words for very little results
As a hockey fan this is sad.... maybe the new rebrand or third should be the O with a frowny face in it.
Melnyk is ruining this franchise.... we need someone who actually knows hockey!!!
That conference final run was a long term curse. They over achieved and thought they were contenders.
...
Indeed, the Duchene trade was under the idea that he was the missing piece to go to the finals, six months later we were in 'rebuild' mode.
if they thought that, then they should all have been fired...because anyone with an inkling of hockey knowledge would have known that.
Can we please trade something to Canada and bring Tim & Sid to the States?
yea give us kyrie and mind trick Kawhi into staying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
