HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Eugene Melnyk (56)

[Mr Invidious]

His time as the owner of the Ottawa Senators has been up-and-down but this man saved our team when he took over and has become a valued member of our city.

Here's to the Euge! May he continue his road to recovery!

I'm sure Euge will be thankful that he got the best gift possible this year.

Jeez, he's only 56? I thought he was in his 60's. Hopefully his new liver helps him out a bit.

I completely forgot that this existed and now I am all giddy.

The hate that has been directed to him for the past two seasons has been awful. It's great to have an owner that cares about the team as much as he does.

There have been some down years, but overall I have been very happy with the consistently good on ice product and a constantly improving fan experience.

Happy Birthday to Eugene. A birth date for great people.

 

[OmniSens]

Happy Birthday! Blessed for him to see his birthday!

Bonk still thinks he should sell the team.

Bonk still thinks he should sell the team.

Your point?

As do I, and a lot of others.

Happy Birthday, Euge.

Bonk still thinks he should sell the team.

Yeah, I still do. Doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to have a nice birthday, especially with what he's gone through recently.

I don't dislike the guy, I just think he's holding the team back, and has made some bad ownership decisions that have left the team in a bad spot.

Your point?

As do I, and a lot of others.

I was just trying to find a remark that would seem somewhat negative but tame enough that it could be taken in jest and not ban-worthy. It's my MO.

 

[Back in Black]

I'll have a drink to celebrate for him!
