part 1 could be anything.... hockey or non- hockey related.... that scares me.... hockey talk criticzing an inept boss is one thing, but i'm worried part 1 might make me cringe..

The players involved probably didn't face the media at the advice of their lawyers. I am guessing this because there has been talk of legal action, and sending out guys not involved to address it was strange.
The guys involved facing the media means they could potentially say something that would hurt their case.
My biggest takeaway from this whole sordid mess is that the players involved chose to blame an assistant coach for their own shortcomings. Penalty killing is hardly rocket science. If the players had played better or been more talented I'm sure their penalty kill would be much better.
Someone will want himThere are enough teams out there desperate for defencemen - you never know.
Ummm at the NHL level your PK absolutely matters or you get torched. You need to watch video of every team and make adjustments or you will get lit up like a christmas tree. Its really not something to half ass or the 'one thing' that isnt system based. Being passive and letting teams easily get into the zone is a huge advantage. So is allowing for downlow plays and letting the oposition walk to the net. This is a very innacurate take.Lol this is my take away as well..
Of all things to grill coaches about, the PK is a real odd one to go off on. Ive spent a lot time in a locker room, and never once before have I heard guys blaming the garbage PK on the coaching staff..
Its like quite literally the one thing that they cant get blamed for as far as I remember it. Like stay out of the box if you dont enjoy defending haha.
The PK goes as well as your goalie is playing, and how hard guys are fighting to win the 1 on 1's.
Yes you can make little adjustments, but the opposing team has the puck, and therefore your in reaction mode the majority of the time. Structure only works when the opposing team does what you want
Coaching has a much bigger impact on the PP than the PK imo. And conversely, the on ice personnel will have a bigger impact on the PK versus coaching strategies.
Uh, this isn't Arizona. The Citizen published a video that had already been removed from YouTube for violating their privacy policies. The privacy laws in Canada are also different. You are not permitted to surreptitiously video someone and post it online. If this Uber ride happened in Ottawa, there would be a lawsuit. If the Ottawa Citizen posted the video from an Uber ride in Ottawa claiming it was in the public interest, they would *I say probably* lose that lawsuit.
The flip side with regard to the Ottawa Senators going after the Ottawa Citizen and Post Media is a little more complicated. If you do not oppose an infringement of your perceived rights, it is commonly accepted that you are therefore relinquishing those rights. This applies to trademarks etc. That's the reason why big corporations always aggressively pursue any actor, no matter how insignificant for trademark or copyright infringement. To do otherwise would open the floodgate to further infringement.
This is not an attack on the press. The press are free to report on this story. What they are not free to do is post that video online in the sleazy journalistic pursuit of mouse clicks. I've seen journalists work up close and many are jackals. Your Trump comments are unwarranted in this case.
It’s not that simple. That rule doesn’t apply if there is an expectation of privacy. That would be up to a court to decide.Actually the privacy laws in Canada allow for recording of conversations as long as one part to the conversation is aware it is being recorded. So if you and I are talking and I know I am recording it, then it is ok. When this "gentleman" asked a question 'What team do you play for' and it got answered he became part of the conversation. Had they ignored the question he would be recording illegally

It’s also standard policy in any business or workplace to make it known that video recording is occurring. This driver secretly video recorded. If there was a sticker on the dash cam that stated the occupants were being recorded than that would be different. At any rate, it isn’t as clear cut as people think. YouTube pulled the original video down due to privacy concerns.
And also, it’s garbage journalism and Post Media is needlessly damaging a working relationship. I doubt the Senators organization punishes them or their access openly but there will be probably be some form of subtle retribution.
I had a thought...
Uber should buy a suite for the rest of the season, and offer anyone taking an Uber to the game a chance to upgrade their seats.

If part 1 is the conversation before the driver asked what team they play for, i imagine its more complaining about the coaches and management, perhaps owner or other players. I doubt they would have said anything morally comprising and then say oh yeah, we play for the sens.
Seen it or not, assuming it's the same 7 guys in the Uber, they should have already discussed what was said or done.I wonder if the team has seen "part 1" yet. They had access to "part 2" almost immediately, well before Postmedia picked it up.
Do we know for sure that "part 1" was even the same uber ride? Hell, for all we know, there might be a bunch fo drivers out there suddenly looking for their 15 seconds of fame.
