Literally everyone around the league understands why Sens fans don't fill the arena as much as they used to(well except Toronto media which thrives on bashing us). Everyone considers Melnyk one of the worst sports team owners around. Everyone understands that you can't expect fans to support a tire-fire of a team, especially when there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
Yet, here we are on HF, with a dozen of the same posters who spend every day filling every thread attempting to pass the buck by trying to make this about how cheap Sens fans are and absolving Melnyk of almost all responsibility. It's toxic as all hell and I honestly don't understand what the end-goal is for this group aside from being a good example of how divisive Eugene is.
And now the Melnyk White Knights have crowned their Apologist King in some anonymous, ultra-insecure rich guy to somehow validate everything because hey, he's rich after all.
Blech.
No. The rest of the league, including Toronto doesn't understand how we didn't fill the arena in the playoffs. Quit making stuff up. NBC, Sports Illustrated, etc...all had stories . It was embarrassing but go ahead and keep making excuses. You and your merrymen always do.
I know it doesn't suit your point of view. I won't speak for the others who have the nerve to go against your schtick, but personally your black or white approach is blech. If someone does not agree with a MelnykOut militant they are perceived as Melnyk White Knights.
Is it not possible in your world that someone can have disdain for the owner AND the fans lack of support? Is there no middle?
Yeah, it sure isn't fun around here but don't pretend that you don't have a part in it. We all do. We are all passionate about this team as crappy as things are right now.
Things are happening behind the scenes and I am encouraged by what is transpiring.
