IMPORTANT QUESTION: When will we win Stanley again?

My niece during this past years playoffs said "I don't see the Leafs winning this year but I think they'll win in 2020" so there it is.  I suspect she's partially psychic so I'm going with that.

I'm late to jump in on this one. It's rather sad that Melnyk felt he needed to run to a journalist to report this. It's even sadder that she apologized and it wasn't good enough for him. Seriously grown ups, you're at a concert, it's the Stones, someone swears at you, move on. Melnyk would be well advised to hire a PR firm. I live in the Ottawa Valley and he I can tell you he has few fans amongst Sens fans. If he doesn't choose that route then either keep your trap shut or sell the team.

I can't defend Melnyk as a person or his running of the Senators but I'd like to think we should still expect our Provincial Cabinet Ministers not to be drunkenly yelling expletives at hockey team owners because the team isn't very good.

Yeah. Neither of them went into or come out of this one looking good. It was hardly a when surprise MacLeod recently got demoted to a less prominent ministry, and this is just further evidence it was warranted.
 
The Ottawa Senators as run by Eugene Melnyk. 

After acquiring a bunch of players whose bonuses were paid by other teams or getting players with back-diving contracts (plus only having to pay 20% of the salary of their IR players):

their roster counts $60,130,833 against the cap while it actually will cost them approximately $45,697,500 in real money.

Shrewd money management!

What you gonna do, NHL? Prop this up for another decade?
 
I would just be positively shocked if the NHL didn't act to stop teams from "violating the spirit of the cap" when it involved teams trying to save money rather than violating the spirit in the service of spending it on players.

Shocked, I tell you.
 
Sens are doing nothing against the rules so all the power to them. Fans will suffer but they don't have to go or watch. I have zero issue with it. Also have no issue with teams like the Leafs who can spend.

I don't have an issue with it either. I feel bad for the senator fans I know. There isn't many, but there's a few left out there. They all seemed to have retreated into the woodwork since the Alfredsson, Heatley, Spezza days.

Good question Molly Cronin, and welcome.
I agree, TMLFans does indeed, rock.

Yeah, the retreat is in for Sens fans, reminds of JFJ desolation and Burkean fallout years. Just kind of watching, waiting, won't be rooting for anyone else but your team is maximum suckage.
