From what I can gather, Sens fans have grown to despise owner Eugene Melnyk, and perhaps rightfully so, the team is without question the worst it has been since he became owner, when you get schooled by Buffalo thee is a problem.
But there was a time when Melnyk was LOVED by the city of Ottawa, I remember in 2006 and 2007 how much excitement was in that city, even as somebody living in Burlington in 2006 and then moving to Fort Mac Alberta in January 2007, you could tell the excitment was there, the team was bringing in guys like Hasek, Heatley, they had Chara, Redden, Phillphs and they were pushing for a cup, they ade it all the way to the finals and then they ran into Bian Burke's Ducks and lost the cup in 5.
But everything seemed great Melnyk was loved, but over time the fans turned on him and what I want to know is when did that start? because it wasn't always that way.
