Would be amazing if those 2 got the axe.
Dean Brown doesn't seem like a Michael Andlauer guy. He was certainly a Eugene Melnyk guy.

His article on Euge was class. Just a bit too soon. Fact.Brings me back to supsens and sweatred getting into it with Mendes on here because of a piece he wrote on Melnyk, of which he did a great job.
Pretty sure one stated he would have failed a journalism class![]()
This would be an incredible upgrade. Now let's get A.J in for play by play and Methot/Baker/Corrado/Pounder/Smyth doing colour. I'd like to hear from people that actually played and know the sport.I'll take if it means he represents the Senators in the media instead of Dean Brown and Gord Wilson.
Too late. Should have come out years earlier.His article on Euge was class. Just a bit too soon. Fact.
Ian mendes used to be on here?I like Ian.... i am not the f***ing douche bag that made him quit the board.That was a few other special people on here still
He offered to setup a zoom call with some people to discuss his article that a few posters here were chastising him over, the posters turned down the offer and Mendes was then accused of promoting Zoom for his own personal gain by a poster, so he packed up and rightfully left.Ian mendes used to be on here?
How did I miss that? I never went into the Ottawa radio thread tho.He offered to setup a zoom call with some people to discuss his article that a few posters here were chastising him over, the posters turned down the offer and Mendes was then accused of promoting Zoom for his own personal gain by a poster, so he packed up and rightfully left.
It was an absolutely wild day or two, some of the most insane drivel posted here by a poster(s) of days past.
It wasn’t a radio thread, it was a Melnyk threadHow did I miss that? I never went into the Ottawa radio thread tho.
Which article was it?
I'll be honest I always thought Lever would have been hired by the Sens in some capacity too. At least the redblacks should.This would be an incredible upgrade. Now let's get A.J in for play by play and Methot/Baker/Corrado/Pounder/Smyth doing colour. I'd like to hear from people that actually played and know the sport.

It was the big 6000+ word Athletic article with Katie Strang and Dan Robson that came out right after Melnyk passed away and they did a few media spots after.How did I miss that? I never went into the Ottawa radio thread tho.

Damn definitely around here when that dropped. Just missed the dramaIt was the big 6000+ word Athletic article with Katie Strang and Dan Robson that came out right after Melnyk passed away and they did a few media spots after.
For many of us it wasn't anything surprising given the public behavior and noise about Melnyk previously, and as Mendes and Strang said numerous times, was heavily toned down due to the extreme vetting process and much not being able to be included, but it was a pretty big drop at the time and generated lots of fun in the Melnyk threads.
No, but you made a whole bunch of other regular posters quit though.I like Ian.... i am not the f***ing douche bag that made him quit the board.That was a few other special people on here still
I believe it was a different article, or maybe even just reporting about some events that he was investigating/reporting on previously. I think it was about the Sens Foundation, whatever it was the Phillips used to be working with that he abruptly left back in 2021, that Mendes had written about for a year or so. This happened pre-death of MelnykIt was the big 6000+ word Athletic article with Katie Strang and Dan Robson that came out right after Melnyk passed away and they did a few media spots after.

Jeez, I had forgotten all about this. The good old days LOL. There certainly was some “interesting” people hanging around here.He offered to setup a zoom call with some people to discuss his article that a few posters here were chastising him over, the posters turned down the offer and Mendes was then accused of promoting Zoom for his own personal gain by a poster, so he packed up and rightfully left.

Man, that's quite the trip down memory lane, imagine being so unhinged you think Mendes is putting plants in his zoom Q&A, and if I recall, somehow tied financially to zoom... All because you can't accept any story that frames the org in a negative light, Good times,I believe it was a different article, or maybe even just reporting about some events that he was investigating/reporting on previously. I think it was about the Sens Foundation, whatever it was the Phillips used to be working with that he abruptly left back in 2021, that Mendes had written about for a year or so. This happened pre-death of Melnyk
The Mendes and Strang article came out in 2022, a year after Mendes left the board.
This stuff was a result, I can only assume without going in to deep, after Phillips left the Sens Foundation back on June 23, 2021
Management - Eugene Melnyk - Lawsuits, rants and more... Part 5 (YOUS)
Other people bid/make a pitch to use the sens and the NHL for their charity, not Melnyk not the sens If it matters so much why does no one give money to support those people? Weird “we demand a charity that can’t support itself” Seems like Ottawa has a lot of demands with other people’s money...forums.hfboards.com
Mendes comes in at post #327
Some of that stuff is among the most insane stuff posted on HFSens in the past 20 years, that aged like a bowl of tuna in milk![]()
Ah, okay, that makes sense with the timeline. Things were a lot more firey in here when he was still alive than when that last one dropped. For some reason I just assumed it was the big one. It's all a bit of a blur at this point tbh.I believe it was a different article, or maybe even just reporting about some events that he was investigating/reporting on previously.

I agree with beefing up the analytics team; however a POHO would be redundant if you have a competent GM.And yet, I still want him to beef up the analytics team (it seems that it's a one-person operation so far), to renew and expand the scouting staff, and to hire a POHO.
I am not a fan of Brown and Wilson; however, they are fanboys who say little of consequence and boost the team, so I expect them to remain in place. The broadcasts would be more interesting if they hired someone who gave truthful analytical views on team performance like Cheryl Pounder and Mike Johnson.Would be amazing if those 2 got the axe.
