The Official Ottawa Sports Radio Thread #8

[Engineer]

So. I finally listened to the interview. Other than the mendes comment. It’s not terrible. He conveys his plan. How he wants nhl team to look. Age brackets. Make up. Why and how he didn’t want to pay the guys. BUT it kind of crumbles when you realize the fact that he did in fact try to sign them. But it’s well known he didn’t want to give NMCs. Does that mean he planned on trading them in 2-3 years? If so. Honestly. It makes sense in a vacuum. Not in today nhl though lmao

The comments about the mayor and the Leafs were certainly questionable

He treatened the Mayor to shut up or he'll talk about the Mayor xD

Can't wait to see what @PeilHatrickNarris0573984 will be tweeting out later this evening.

It was.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

The best "bots" were the ones from a few months ago. The first couple tweets would be just generic tweets like "going to get food" followed by full-blown Melnyk worship.

Well, those were probably real attempts by the team at influencing the conversation. These newer ones are just fans having fun, and probably in disbelief that people actually think they're the same as the real bots.

 

[BondraTime]

This twitter aspect is another hilarious thing. Clearly from some bozo's just trolling ala that season of South Park where Gerald was Skankhunt42

Just a gong show from every aspect of the Ottawa Senators. Management, Ownership, players, social media, fans.

Just get out your surfboard and ride the wave, this is gold.

Which just goes to show you how little trust there is from fans.

I'm still waiting for Vampire Number.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

It’s not terrible? Careful MikeBurrowsaurus026385 will be making an appearance on twitter. It can be engineered, trust me

Lmao

 

[Do Make Say Think]

My recommandation to all

Ignore Twitter and Social Media

You will be happier, I promise. It is just white noise but the bad kind, not the kind you sleep to.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

He treatened the Mayor to shut up or he'll talk about the Mayor xD

That was the best part. And calling the leafs rebuild crap

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Please. No one here liked the comments about the leafs screwing their srebuild?

If he was worth 10 billion and we were good right now we would have all loved that.

 

[BonkTastic]

My recommandation to all

Ignore Twitter and Social Media

This is just good life advice in general.

 

[GrantLemons]

Omg lmao. What is going on?

I've been harping on Toronto ignoring their blueline for the last few years now, so clearly I'm in that camp.

I dare anyone to tell me that they wouldn't like Toronto's cup chances a lot more if they'd taken that $11mil/year Tavares money and put it towards a legit #1 defenceman.

 

[00antho]

Jack Maxwell is now being featured on Tim and Sid...

 

[NorthCoast]

Yeah, the market is still flawed.

Happily, today, it sounds like he is willing to spend in spite of attendance. That is good, isn't it? I have season tickets, and it is not reassuring to go to games of 10K all season, knowing that the owner said he was going to tie revenues to payroll. So, for me personally, that is good news. But I want action, and proof of it. If Chabot gets extended the right way, it will signal to me that there is hope.

Until there is action that counters the narrative of minimizing all costs then it’s pretty hard to buy into this.

The players budget isn’t the only department that needs investment. Why can’t we increase spending on scouting and development now if our focus is 100% rebuild?

 

[SlyDawg]

Peeks in after a hiatus like always...

It never ceases to be a circus when it comes to the NHL sports scene here in Ottawa, does it.

My gods. Just...no words anymore.

 

[Johnny Hanson]

It’s actually quite comical.

This will be something we’ll all look back and have a great guffaw over.

Well the team sucks shit, so might as well have some drama!

They were stupid comments. He just traded away Erik Karlsson and has one of the historically bad defensive teams with little in the cupboard and he wants to shit on the Leaf's D. Absolutely pathetic. Does this mean we have to pass on potential generational offensive players in the future just so we can have some D?

The man is moron and should shut his mouth. The Leafs began rebuilding barely 4 years ago and are already contenders.

Agreed. Just looked bush for an owner to criticize another team. But I thought it was funny to see all of Toronto lose their minds

 

[coladin]

I've come to my senses. You and Burrowsaurus are the only true fair and balanced voices on the internet. Everyone else is wrong.

There. I said it.

Thank you.

He trashed a team better than us for a thing they’re doing better than us. People in glass houses should shut the f*** up.

 

[branch]

please man...enuf of your BS already...now you're a big businessman...please...

It's true. Jim Watson is a cutthroat. He plays the game hard and is deserving of a bit of attrition...he just puts on the Uncle Jimbo persona for the media.
