I still Can’t believe that this team was one goal away from the Stanley cup final

And that would've made it for a more interesting finals to watch!

[@shaneb255]

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.

[@Shockfactor22]

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.

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?

[@parkerthompson5681]

Yeah, Dorian says he makes all the hockey decisions , but thats full of crap

[@danyheatleyall-star3677]

Dorian is definitely a puppet of Melnyk

[@melhild9491]

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.

[@segasys1339]

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.

[@bigfloppy5863]

Cmon, I'm a sens fan. The oilers have McDavid and an owner that is willing to spend. The Sens are essentially a farm team for the rest of the league.

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.
