Being a great home team has got to be a sweet bonus for the fans going to games. It’s so much better paying for tickets to watch your team unexpectedly win!
Though last night was a tough watch for sure.... Shake off that turkey!!!
I am cheering for the the team to tank to get a good draft pick, so it is kind of annoying.
When people hear things and post them here, why do some feel the need to mock if it doesn’t happen. How about we make a New Year’s resolution to stop being disrespectful. [mod edit]Hey Coladin,
Wasn't there to supposed to be a big sale announcement before the new year? Lol
anyone who has seen my other thread, knows my anger at them..but my support is unwavering.
Fans have got to start packing that arena..1) to uplift the spirit of the team 2) to not sink them financially...with sufficient revenue will come easier operating.
If you are remotely a fan, and even if your anger is at my level...go support..We cannot control being near the bottom in the standing, we don't play...we can control being near the top in spirit.
No thanks, Melnyk is never getting another penny from me, simple as that. He’s proven that he won’t invest in the team so why should I give him any of my money so he can just go gamble with it?
No way should fans be attending under the false premise it will be re-invested in hockey ops.No thanks, Melnyk is never getting another penny from me, simple as that. He’s proven that he won’t invest in the team so why should I give him any of my money so he can just go gamble with it?

Previous actions over many years? A team that's never had a roster without significant holes due to lack of budget, basically ever.LOL - what are you basing that statement on?

Just curious. Do you live in the Ottawa region?For every post you make on this forum a dollar is donated to the Melnyk Help Fund
Speaking of the gambling man, next Monday we find out what happens with the casino court case. He may require another $1m for that gamble.
I still think we will see some kind of organizational change made soon to win back the fans hurt by the evil EM empire. Just speculation, of course.

I don't see location when on mobile.The location next to my user name states Toronto. Why does that matter to you?
I was in Ottawa and Kanata this week
So you are obviously not on board with my idea.Or how about we make a new years resolution to stop making **** up? Either one lol.
You know he increased payroll for 2017-18 right. How did the roster get downgraded other than losing Methot and the 45 games he played since leaving Ottawa.Previous actions over many years? A team that's never had a roster without significant holes due to lack of budget, basically ever.
"We will spend when the time is right" lol.
Looks at every hire ever in the last 10 years being cheap, or lack thereof altogether.
- Downgraded roster coming off conference finals.
There is no, "right time" for this team. Thats fine but live in your reality, dont set false expectations.
If you want to buy in to it sure, go ahead, but I'd say they shouldn't be given that benefit of the doubt after so many years that the hockey operation is the priority in Ottawa and that an increase in attendance would lead to an increased investment in the team. Some of Melnyk's previous comments don't give me much faith he will ever change his philosophy on pay scale in relation to employee performance, so I can't see the money being invested in qualified coaching or hockey ops people either.
Just my thoughts on the airwaves though, not here to convince anyone otherwise.
