Senators drop giant heavy beach balls on fans during pre-game, spilling beer and hurting children.

[JoVel]

Plastic balls filled with air hurt? Man/woman/child-up

I totally undestand that the Sens are the laughing stock of the league, and I sometimes poke fun at them, too, but this is a pointless attempt at making something out of nothing.

I can see them hurting little kids. Especially when they surprise you.

Didn't expect to see this thread title..

Beachballs?
Oh the humanity!

 

[Boxscore]

100% honest question. Are the Sens purposely trying to force a sale and relocation? This is the only explanation I could have for their extremely bizarre behavior. The way the Sens have operated this year would be akin to Disney putting a ski mask on Micky Mouse and having him running around chasing kids with a plastic sword while screaming profanities under the mask.

You really can't make this up. And I can't, for the life of me, believe a professional organization could be this incompetent. And I'm not using hyperbole. Every decision they make is the direct opposite of what they should do. In every case. Other than maybe drafting Tkachuk, which was a great pick.

More proof that Melnyck hates his fans

 

[CanuckGame39]

I dont even watch the sens and they constantly entertain me.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

I’m as hard on the organization as every fan, but mehhhhh. Seems like people just looking for a story here.

 

[These Are The Days]

You took my comment idea lol

I can't wait for the Ottawa Senators inspired mockumentary.

I DEMAND they pay homage to a legendary WKRP In Cincinnati episode by dropping live turkeys on the crowd around Thanksgiving.

Melynik: "By God I thought turkeys could fly!"

You really can’t make this stuff up. What is going on in Ottawa.

 

[Oddbob]

Honestly could this happen to any other team right now! You can't even make this stuff up! How do you not know that heavy for what they are rubber balls being dropped unannounced on unsuspecting people who paid to be there is not a significantly bad idea! Side note: What is Melnyk's rubber ball budget this year! Gotta spend the money saved by trading your talent away on something, RIGHT!

 

[SI90]

I guess they don’t allow iPhones In the arena? Shocked not a single person got it on video

 

[Calad]

It seems crushing their spirits wasn't enough for Melnyk

 

[Oddbob]

Lawsuits incoming

"Your Honor, I was minding my own business at his arena, when BAM, a rubber ball, SMACK (or BOOM as may be the case) to the FACE! First he trades our star away, now he is physically and emotionally harming me, this cannot stand!"

 

[boredmale]

Ottawa needs to do a 10 cent beer night to make up for this

 

[IamNotADancer]

Stay tuned for our new and improved t-shirt cannon, fans!

 

[Sparksrus3]

Wouldn’t it be something if it costed more than simply paying and Keeping Karlsson lol

Now spelling doesn't count on HF and spelling police are frowned upon so I apologize in advance but " costed " made me laugh . Well done . This is not a correction , just a giggle .

Thank you

I had to read all 8 pages this thread was hilarious.

Except melnyk would probably cheap out and get frozen turkeys. Then drop them.

 

[Oddbob]

I just realized, this is Melnyk's way of getting rid of most of his haters in one easy shot!

Hard to tell without knowing exactly what they dropped. Were those more like balloons, or those inflatable exercise balls?

I have on good authority that these were the balls in question.
