Always thought it was Phaneuf who turned the music up to drown out Dorion talking to the dressing room last year, but the list of candidates keep growing.

"Send a message"? He's loved by the locker room and he's one of those heart and soul meat and potatoes guys. Supposed to be one of those guys who's loved by the coach. And hell, I assume he even was loved by the coach.

Is the message "f*** you, you're paid too much"? It's not his fault he got overpaid, he can only do what he can. And whose fault does the GM of the team think it is that he's paid too much?

20% chance a mutiny happens in the locker room this year

I'm old enough to remember when the Orlando Magic post-Shaq reportedly had a mutiny against the coach Brian Hill. I was at the game before he got fired and the talk on the radio was that the players were telling management they would no longer play for the coach. It showed that night and Hill was fired right then and there.

I'm sure there's been worse incidents but seeing that in person at 9 years old was like watching a never-ending ship wreck.

Unfortunately for the Sens it’s not the coach, it’s the owner.

They need a new owner, and that new owner needs to bring in someone who is respected (Alfie) to evaluate and clear out 90% of the organization from GM to trainers to scouts and then talk to the players. Open the communication line again between management and the players and coaching staff. They need to make a clear they are transitioning and if someone doesn't want to be there they understand but please let them know. Those who they don't think fit their vision will be moved. Sign some good vets and try to build a culture of at least a decent attitude.

Tank for 5 years, and then you are golden.

So brutal.
I never had any ill feelings towards Sens or their fans, so I feel extra terrible for them. SYMPATHY FOR DAYS.

Can't wait for next week's installment of "the senators did WHAT!?"

Seriously why doesn't some TV station pick this up?

Somebody set the "days since the Senators said something stupid" counter back to 0.

Maybe one day it'll reach double digits again.

Lmao just stupid. Risk losing a decent player for nothing to send a message?

This organization is so clueless. We all knew about Melnyk but my lord, Dorion is just as stupid.

I mean didn't they already do that kinda with Karlsson… and soon Stone... and the awkward moment when they move Duchene for very little.

The Duchene trade, if/when they move him this year is going to get worse then it was already.
