Official Ottawa Senators Thread

[Kin]

I don't know the legality of recording someone in your own car...is that not legal if you haven't made them aware? 

Arizona is a one-party consent state when it comes to recordings.

Please make the game day threads again.  Please.

I am "not allowed".

Why?  Your game day threads were a stroke of genius.

I mean he's not banned from anything but somebody did ask that he not be allowed to make GDTs...

Just please do not let Guru Tugginmypuddah create the game day thread.  If he creates a one line thread again please vacation him or even ban him I don't care. 

 

[Kin]

Boy, plus la change, huh?

That?s Senators level stuff right there.

How did you even remember that?

His complaints about guru's GDT's were actually why I started doing them. I picked them up a couple weeks after that.

 

[Frank E]

Unreal.

I miss Frank Was Right.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I miss Frank Was Right.

You only won that on a technicality. I should have worded it differently. He's still on the roster a month into the season!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I always thought Thomas Chabot was a little overrated, but he's got 20 points in 15 games this season. Not only does that lead all defencemen (2 points ahead of Rielly and Burns), he's just 4 points behind Rantanen for the league lead and 2 points behind McDavid for 2nd. A rare bright spot for the sens right now.

This is magnificently petty, but also kind of surprising that Ottawa was the last team to include reporters on their charters.

Ottawa is one of the few teams in the league where they want to build a rah-rah press to try and drive attendance(which they are fairly successful at) and letting reporters on charters literally costs them nothing.

Uhhhh... there's a heck of another story in that article that I've never heard before:

Also on the Senators? growing no-fly list is TSN reporter Brent Wallace who, prior to the team?s Parliament Hill alumni game last December, had the audacity to ask owner Eugene Melnyk about a report that suggested he had been withholding bonus money from his employees.

Melnyk denied the allegation.

Once the cameras were turned off, bystanders saw him turn to Wallace and say, ?I?m going to bury you.?

Since then, Wallace?s seat on the charter has also been revoked, leaving Sylvain St-Laurent of French-language newspaper Le Droit with one of the remaining few seats. Well, until he writes something that Melnyk doesn?t like.

Man, that might have been a big story if Wallace knew someone at a big sports journalism outlet.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I thought it was something that was reported on but just flew under the radar because I know that was around when Melnyk started talking about potentially moving the team if attendance didn't improve... but I just spent the last little bit searching and this is definitely the first time that part of the story has seen the light of day. Unbelievable.

That?s a bullet the Sun was holding onto until an opportune moment such as now.

It would be so good if this is where Melnyk's money was going.

Edit: Does this have anything to do with 'Dorion's' burner account?

Can we take a small pause from laughing at the sens to appreciate that a journalist has trouble with first person subject and object pronouns?

I still remember how excited we were when Burke got him.  Even then, though, some were saying his success in CGY was flukish.
