Ottawa Sun "You Be The Boss Survey"

[Tnuoc Alucard]

anyone know where the results to this survey are?

When they've done this in the past (the Sun), they've published the poll results a week to 10 days later.

Thanks for the info, I suppose the creator could also be holding onto it for a future article as well.

Sens post-mortem: Tremendous response to Senators survey that is anything but ‘stupid’

Question 2: What should be the top priority for the team going forward?

Keeping Erik Karlsson – 65%

Nicely done.

Nicely done.

Only surprising answer to me was for 13 where local fans seemingly value Tkachuk the most after Dahlin, I assume most know nothing about either player beyond recognizing the former's name because of his father.

 

[Heady Topper]

61% would buy more (or some) tickets if Melnyk sold. So he's, as everyone but him know already, the cause for low attendance. Of course he'll blame everything else but him cause losers look to blame

I thought the same thing.

Biggest surprise of the whole poll was that only roughly 5000 people answered. Seems very underwhelming, no?

A long-ish poll from a newspaper/site? Nah, I feel like 6000 people willfully filling it out is rather impressive.

That's the casual fanbase talking.

The same casual fanbase that some people want to stupidly ignore. The same fanbase that some "superfans" forget exists, or assume don't ever buy tickets anyways, so why waste money on good / effective / competent marketing?

This is the part of the fanbase that we are hemmhoraging. These are the fans who stopped showing up to games.

You should stick to your obtuse copy paste routine...

I just found it odd as the rest of the responses were pretty in line with the thinking on this site, save for that response imo

Most casual fans are unaware of who these guys are, so they likely just went with a name that sounded familiar.

In a thread started by Count...that's gotta sting.

I thought this was funny. Well done, sir! I encourage more light humour on this board!


Sorry Sensung, but you know that I still love you!


edit. I assumed the sir part. If you're not a sir, please do not be offended.

Do we have a proof that the votes are accurate?

Was there a miscommunication in delivering the results?

I need a signed confirmation of those things by Eugene Melnyk otherwise I dont believe it

 

[The Lewler]

5000 + votes over 4 days on a newspaper most people ignore?

Yeah thats a good local response.

It's way more people than contributed to #MelnykOut.

But all of this is all a minority of fake fans of course. After all, we have no proof they are even real, or if they were people paid by Melnyk Out to vote. Probably Russian bots.

I see that you've taken the time to include me in what I can only assume was some form of intended insult. Perhaps you could give just a little more of your valuable time and fill me in on what my "most common narrative" is?

I'd like to get in on the gag as well

It was actually about 8,000 with freebies. This is Ottawa after all.

An easy way for EM to regain trust ,and actually get people to believe what he is saying about how little money he makes from the team and its hockey related revenue...Is to open the books ........LOL cant see that happening but its out there

I haven't been back for long and haven't noticed you posting anything over the top, but I think he's pointing out that Melnyk apologists have been proven wrong time and time again and make it a point to ignore the facts. I mean, it's pretty evident and is clearly done on purpose because it gets a reaction out of some posters, but nonetheless, takes away any credibility said apologists might've had left. Nonetheless, making excuses for Melnyk is counterproductive at this point and anyone doing so are really the ones wasting their time.

Of all of the things that won't ever happen, this is the one that won't happen the most.

Nope ,which is why EM needs to STFU about how little he makes,and stop using it as an excuse as to why he always cheaps out on the team
