imagine you're a new firefighter and the first day you show up the station is on fire

Well if he was looking for a challenge...

Perfect analogy. Amazing

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

First job is to make the fans like Melnyk

Lol that's pretty good. I'll add to it .

Station is fully engulfed and you have a garden hose that has holes in it.

Ottawa Senators Appoint Nicolas Ruszkowski as COO

How does everyone feel about this?

The team definitely needed help in the PR department, but I wonder if there aren't other departments that needed it more. Nevertheless, it appears like a good hire.

Nicolas Ruszkowski must be thinking FML right about now.

[Do Make Say Think]

This is really funny.

And sad.

Complex stuff.

 

[Cosmix]

I guess we just did not have the insight or foresight to see why this PR guy was hired. Now we know.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I’m kind of hoping he resigns this week just for the hilarity of it.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

man i wish all the stuff wrong with the sens wasnt so malicious. like i could definitely live with having a joke of a franchise but be able to laugh at them..

 

[The Lewler]

Well.. that's not exactly something I would advertise.. since that was a spectacular fail.

As long as Melnyk doesn’t do the PR anymore it’s good news, he needs to be a silent owner (unless he sells of course). And if that guy can lay out a good financial plan, maybe that could change things

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

This guy is a clown. A lot of the bizarre and untimely press releases have occurred after this guy took over. He's supposed to be well-versed in PR, but this team is PR nightmare after nightmare. Maybe his tactics would work in a cut-throat business environment, but he clearly doesn't understand this market. Dorion is reading this guy's scripts.

This guy was Stephane Dion's PR guy. He has been absolutle garbage at his job for a while.

He just knows how make his boss happy: Melnyk loves Fox so Rutkowsky has the Sens communicate as if they were on Fox.

Exactly. This is why i'm confused at some peoples intense frustration regarding Dorion. I understand that he's guilty by association, but the guy is essentially being held at gunpoint. Melnyk and Ruszkowski are running the clown show - Dorion is just a sacrifice.

 

[GrantLemons]

Didn't Eugene have some sort of ties to this guy prior to the hire? It's so insane how atrociously bad Eugene's hires have been from a purely business standpoint.

Like it's really no wonder this team is a f***ing joke.

Anyone with an ounce of self worth wouldn't allow themselves to be clowned like this. See: Tom Anselmi dipping the f*** out when things got weird.

Pierre should have said "Thanks, but I'm going to look at other opportunities" as soon as it became toxic. Instead he's just so clueless he's now dug himself into a hole so deep he may have trouble finding another gig somewhere.

He could have been Sean Spicer but now he is Huckabee Sanders.

Ya, he was a consultant for Biovail.

Oh wow. Another Melnyk-run disaster
