That banter happens on every team in every league around the world. Probably every workplace too , bantering about idiot boss The only reason this is different is because someone caught it on video. Media blows it up bigger than it is. Its funny and its team building. Its how guys bond. Let them unite against me as the coach and then turn that against the competition. Ive purposefully ran bag skates so they would stop bickering against each other and come together against me "the asshole coach". Once they get together now you can get some work done. Blip on the radar is exactly right

Agree it was pretty lighthearted and could have been a lot worse, they were just chirping. Uber driver should be fired if he sold it to the media. But if Duchene wants to chirp, he should start with himself. Both MacKinnon and EJ showed their approval after he got shipped. And heard today since the Duchene trade exactly 1 year ago, Sens are dead last in the league in wins while Avs are up there. Yikes

I agree that banter is banter and it happens everywhere; but this is the Sens, where for the past year, a shit show has been going on, both in the dressing room and out in the media, and the last time, a trade happened within a week. So this begs to question, will Melnik order his puppet Dorion to make a trade and possibly ship one or more of those players out?
In any other market, this would get swept under the rug, and I hope it happens in Ottawa as well; but no other market has Melnik as a owner either...

To me this is more than just chirping. Bitching like this just undermines the coach in the room and creates unnecessary distractions. They may be right, the special teams coach may suck, but he should have been professional about it.

Duchene seems like the type of guy who's really funny and popular, but deep down everyone knows he's a jerk. Hot wife tho.

And not to be outdone by the Flyers, the partner, that Melnyk sued, is counter suing for $1 Billion... That puts an end to the partnership that wanted to build an arena downtown; leaving the Sens in the middle of BFN again It could potentially put an end of Melnyk as an owner, as it was speculated that the reason is was suing for $700 million, was so he could be able to make his payments Another sh!t show to keep an eye one... Man, the NHL is so exciting this year, and it is not even for the on-ice product...

Melnyk and CSMI also made a response to the counter suit saying they would like to keep the partnership going saying they would go as far as giving Trinity full control over the build ( profits and revenue included ) and the team would play at the arena rent free and melnyk would get the keep naming rights and money wanted from that.
Trinity then responded by saying that that offer basically proves that fact that CSMI had been dodging financial responsibility and has no money to be taking on a build of this magnitude.
TLDR: melnyk wanted a free arean and to still make money without paying anything, Trinity said screw off and now it's more obvious that melnyk has absolutely no money.

Ottawa continues to be a sh!t show... After the mass fire sale at the deadline, now they fire the head coach...
To be honest, this team needs a major "face lift" at the Upper management and ownership level more than anything else right now

Whoever the interim guy is takes over a flaming pile of.... tires? Let someone start fresh. Just burning whoever comes in this way.
