Will you still be here after potential Karlsson trade

[Sun God Nika]

Lots of people on this board myself included have made Karlsson the last straw.

[Fandlauer]

Yes.

I'll just continue my boycott of entering the stadium or buying any merch until Melnyk is gone. I'm not going to switch teams or pretend I'll never be back.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

Personally, if it does happen, I will have a pretty tough time adjusting. I will always cheer on my team... it'll just be strange for a long while.

 

[2CHAINZ]

If the Kalrsson trade is for garbage like all the trades before 2CHAINZ will be done with the Ottawa Senators. I got really big into the NBA last season so I dare you Dorion.

 

[Sensung]

I'll be here working on the demonstrations/boycott that will eventually force Eugene to sell.

 

[Harryhausen]

I will be a fan of the team Karlsson is traded to. I have watched hockey for fourtyyears and know what an exceptional player he is. I have been a fan of Senators since the rebirth and I feel this is the last straw but i can't say I won't continue to follow the team. Go away eugene

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I'll still be a fan, but I'll be an unhappy one as long as Eugene is the owner.

 

[Bileur]

Done until Eugene is gone.

I’ve said it before, I don’t even care if they offer him a good deal and he refuses it. The organization is poisoning the well and salting the soil, they are the authors of their own demise.

If they can’t retain him it’s because of their inept management and dirt cheap ways.

 

[Uchiha]

Will still follow the team but won’t be spending money on tickets + merchandise until Melnyk is gone.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Be interesting to see what it's like around here after a trade.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Won't spend shit on the team until Euge is gone. Will always tune into games. Will never switch allegiances. Ever

 

[BondraTime]

I love hockey, Sens are my favorite team. Why wouldn't I?

Karlsson being gone won't change my love for the sport, nor make me cheer for another team. I will still follow his career.

 

[Rand0m]

I think I might just be done with the NHL. Unless the Nordiques make a come back (my first team growing up) I can't see myself ever cheering for any other NHL team.

This year marked the first time in over a decade that I missed watching a few Sens games (I used to DVR ALL games and would avoid radio, twitter... until I'd get a chance to watch it). Heck, my son was born at 7pm last year during the 1st game of the Sens-Rangers series, I managed to get him to sleep in my arms and while my wife was sleeping, I turned on the TV just in time to watch Karlsson score the GWG from that impossible angle.

I can't believe Melnyk has caused me to barely care about hockey anymore. I really hope he sells before getting rid of Karlsson.

edit: IMO, trading Karlsson is a sign that Melnyk is here to stay and that's enough for me to quit on this team, there's just ZERO hope with him as an owner.

 

[BigRig4]

I keep saying I won't, but I probably will.

 

[Que]

If I'm still a fan after we traded Hosea for Heatley, kept Redden over Chara and drafted Lee over Kopitar, let Alfy walk because of 3 million bucks, I'm sure I'll keep cheering post EK.

Still bewildered and furious, but that's the nature of fanaticism.

 

[MisterMethos]

Or trading Karlsson is his way of sticking it to the city, the fans, etc in his warped mind, knowing he will be selling the team.

Basketball... ugh... Only Soccer is worse

 

[aragorn]

I felt worse when Neil wasn't re-signed but I still stayed.

 

[bert]

Ill watch them on t.v and will post on here but im not giving Melnyk a dime.

Ill renew quarter season might even up it to a half if the new owner is really commited. But until this team is sold I will not set foot in that rink.

 

[Sensung]

I felt worse when Neil wasn't re-signed but I still stayed.

One is a generational player in his prime and by far the best player to ever don the jersey and the other was a washed up plug.

Not sure how anyone could see a parallel there.

 

[Ouroboros]

I'm don with the team if they don't trade Karlsson.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I felt worse when Neil wasn't re-signed but I still stayed.

The best part of this is that you can’t tell if it’s a joke or not.

 

[Mr Hat]

Depending on the team Karlsson is traded to, I might follow him if the team is a contender.

Cheering for another team will be like having sex with a new hunny after a 20 year marriage came to an ugly end where the last 6 years have been mostly shit. It will feel so wrong but so right at the same time...

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Every single one of my favourite players left and even though there were always rumours, I never saw it coming.

Petr Schatslivy - I didn't saw it coming.
Greg DeVries - I didn't saw it coming.
Oleg Saprykin - I didn't saw it coming.
Joel Kwiatkowski? Guillame Latendresse? David Hale? Denis Hamel? Matt Carkner? Alex Chiasson? Time and time again, I didn't never saw it coming.

But I stayed a Sens fan through all of it and I will continue to do so. I loved the Sens before I knew any of those names and, while I will never forget them, I have continued to love the Sens long after those names last graced the backs of our jerseys.

I will definitely instantly become a fan of whichever team he ends up on. It was magical finally seeing Alex win a Cup this year and I hope I get to experience the same joy with Erik.
