First 16 games

Almost everyone would prefer a richer/better owner, but abhorrent is a bit much, no?

Eugene Melnyk launches campaign to shorten organ transplant wait times

You wanna go on record here and say Melnyk is a good guy? You go right ahead, I'll have non of that madness. Ask his wife, his employees and former employees.

On the record: I genuinely think he's a decent guy and a solid sens fan.

I feel as though his quality of character as eroded over time. I imagine at one point he was a terrific owner to play for, and a pretty swell dude as well, but people evolve, or in this case degenerate. Seems to have gotten sour as time went on and unfortunately let whatever was happening in his personal life affect the team he owns. Some of it definitely is financial, but he should know that you must invest in a product to reap true long standing profit. Even if he took a hit which he already is without trying to, the brand would eventually be built up again and everyone would be happy, plus it’s not like he’d be in such a deep deficit that he’d have to stop living like someone in the top 1% of wealthiest humans on the planet. But no, he prefers to take the short sighted route and is reaping his just desserts for it even further financially and his image in turn is trash which is likely even worse.

This will be the year the Senators finish in the bottom of the league and actually win the lottery.

And then promptly hand it over to Colorado

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

The true gatekeeper of Senator fandom. You gotta submit, be willing to waste money and accept failure as a norm. That is a true Sens fan apparently.

I am creating some custom hand drawn cardboard cutouts of facsimiles of Sens players. One simple slogan will be hand written or painted on each of the cutouts. "I am a Sens Fan". Many of you could be like me and can't really afford to go to games to show how much of a fan you are so... for a small $10.00 investment you can have one of these very special and unique symbols of your fandom. A portion of the proceeds will go towards Sens ticket purchases and giveaways if there is sufficient support. Oh.. a free safety pin will accompany each "I am a Sens Fan" cutout.

7-6-3

 

[Alex1234]

Revisit?

 

[DueDiligence]

2-3 wins in the first 16

Probably would have predicted something similar for Vegas last year .. so I guess.. doing better is possible

So I guess Sens are 0-10 in the next ten?

Don't forget his support of sexual predator Bill O'Reilly.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

So 10 more games, 3 wins already. Going to go with 5-8-3 over that span. So two more wins in the next 10 games, with a few close OT losses.

 

[starling]

Well we did win 8 of 16 last season. And then what happened?

 

[Tkachooook]

Anyone else baffled at how stupid avs fans are? Saying we have had an easy schedule so far lol we have played unreal! No way we are a bottom three team and probably not a bottom five team. Some fans around the league are ridiculous... Can't wait until we are a bubble wildcard team and the nerd who made that stupid website realizes he wasted two weeks of his life programming it.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

20 games is where I like to make up my mind about a team.
Checking the schedule we play Tampa twice and Pittsburgh once (assuming we lose to them)
Boston/Vegas games are a toss-up; we should win it if we want a play-off spot.
The rest must be wins or overtime losses.

11-8-1 would be formidable.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Honestly, our pick is gone and we likely aren't making the playoffs. I'm probably alone on this, but I don't give a f*** where our pick ends up. I just want to actually enjoy Senators games this season, which I have been feeling so far.

Nice bump . Dang wrong again. Happens all the time to me. Not unhappy about it this time.

 

[Another Mr Lizard]

I prefer to check the standings after 82 games, gives a nice idea of what’s what re: standings.

Don't forget his support of sexual predator Bill O'Reilly.

Could be worse and he could be an actual alleged sexual predator like Oilers owner Daryl Katz.
