Tribute Eugene Melnyk has passed away

[GermanSpitfire]

I’m not even going to say anything about hockey.

This isn’t how I wanted Euge to go. 62 is Too young. My sincere condolences towards his family and friends.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Damn, you could tell he didn't look well in recent appearances, but I didn't expect him to pass so soon. 62 is very young.

I can’t believe it. Very sad. Never got an opportunity to rebuild his relationship with the fans. I would like to think he wanted to see everything through from here to Lebreton. All the best to his family and friends.

 

[Ralph Malfredsson]

RIP. I admired early Eugene Melnyk as a pharma entrepreneur. He also brought light to our team by purchasing it an providing stable ownership. Very sad.

What could have been. f***in Kunitz man.

Rest In Peace uncle Euge

I'm not a Sens fan but y'all have a lovely city. I get a chuckle imagining Euge's spirit floating to Ukraine to mess up some Russians.

EDIT: now take Putin with you!

 

[JimmySpaetzle]

Regardless of what happened in some of the more recent years, the Sens would very likely not be here in Ottawa today without Eugene. RIP to a man gone too soon

Terrible news for him and his family, my condolences. Thank you for saving the sens and giving us great hockey moments.

Fill up the barn for Euge this weekend. Let’s get it done!

RIP Eugene.
His passion was unmatched by most, and he was always good for a quip and laugh; his shots at the Habs/Leafs and other foibles were unforgettable.
Thank you for saving our franchise, may the Barbados sun shine on you always.

 

[Sun God Nika]

wow very shocking. i kind of feel disgusted at myself for some of the shit I said.

R.I.P and thank you for what you have done for our city sir.

62 is very young, condolences to his family and loved ones.

I have heard rumours, I have tried to not criticize him directly in the last little while on any ownership related conversations, but this is still shocking and tragic. He died young. R.I.P. Eugene. Thanks for saving this team from bankruptcy and equipping the team to challenge for it in 2007.

Eugene Melnyk, I may have not always liked your business style but you saved our Senators, we will always remember you for that and your passion to win. You were a fighter and taken to young. God bless your family and sincere condolences for your family!

Guy rushes to make a video about Euge and has ads playing in it. Some people are sick.

Sincere condolences to the family, very sad & way too young.

 

[kaws]

Rest in peace, Mr. Melnyk. Thank you for all your efforts in keeping the team here in Ottawa.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Woah...

Not like this

RIP

 

[Dionysus]

Sad to hear. 62 is far to young. He was obviously passionate about the Senators like all of us. It is a real shame the team was never able to win a cup for him.

 

[Ice-Tray]

I am stunned along with the rest of you in this community. He loved his hockey, and it must have been an amazing moment to finally get to own an NHL team.

Crazy Sens fan like the rest of us.

RIP Eug.

I’m stunned, actually…
