My prediction of 65 points is looking good in hindsight, as is my prediction that Dzingle, Duchene and Stone would be gone as part of the financially motivated firesale. I was told that I was being far too negative based on selling off a generational player for pennies on the dollar and that I should wait to see the Melnyk/Dorion plan in action before I called for a boycott and #Melnykout.
Eugene's role in the collapse of Lebreton was easy to predict, but once again myself and others who pointed out the inevitable outcome were told that we were being too negative and that we were ruining the board.
When posters pointed out that the "fair offers" to EK, Stone and Duchene were all a rouse designed to make it appear the Sens were willing to spend in a pathetic attempt to sell tickets, we were told that we were too cynical and that the Sens were doing their best to retain talent, but that the greedy players couldn't be reasoned with. When we point out that the Sens have failed to use the money set aside for these contracts to shore up the front office or on ice product we are met with deafening silence. Perhaps, like the Sens search for a POHO, the apologists are hoping we will forget the previous spin.
When the latest management shuffle once again clearly demonstrates that even Melnyk's cronies can't stand working for the lunatic, we are told that we pay too much attention to the off ice activities of the team, completely ignoring that the team itself used their PR agent Garrihack to make it a story.
Perhaps the sunshine and lollipops crowd should try listening for a change and stop acting like people are being too negative about this tire fire organization.
