Duchene was the one who said "I haven't paid attention in three weeks".

zombieksa Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 So embarrassing for a team that already has so much embarrassment surrounding it. Matt Duchene - foundational player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 There’s going to be a serious team/coaches meeting following this. Discussions like this (ie: ripping coaches) happens all the time, especially when things aren’t going well. But obviously this will be treated differently, as it was made public, which it never should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Not that it was good for the players to say those things about the coaches, but consent was not given from the players to the uber driver to make that video public. IMO the driver and the Ottawa Citizen to even release such information is such a cash grab situation, and honestly they are in the wrong here. Players should be more aware what they say in public spheres but its a legal issue when you make information public without someone's consent, which is in fact an invasion of privacy. The driver will be lucky if he doesn't receive a lawsuit out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the players for treating him like a deaf mute servant who wouldn’t talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontTouchMeGuys Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Definitely isn't the first time players have talked about their coaches, and it won't be the last. The difference was that this was on record, and in 2018, they will face some backlash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Time for Melnyk & buddy-Boro to sit 'round the hot stove and, "Talkalil'haackey!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Could the Senators decide to limit the Ottawa Citizen's access with them publishing the video - they must have asked for permission and probably even paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Also, reverse the situation. Say a Cdn franchise(doesn't include Hogtown, USA), had the 1st r pick of a US franchise that was spiralling the loo. I bet this kind of vid would be squelched before seeing the light of day..IF a Yank franchise were ever to be damaged. NHL HQ's in the USS of A REALLLY like funneling these top-4 ELC stars down to their 'privileged' markets. Melnyk will shut up & idiotically play ball, provided he gets his new bldg.

"I haven't paid attention in 3 weeks" The rest could probably get swept under the rug but that one line is really bad. That's a horrible look for Duchene. I also agree it should have never been made public, what a dick move by the Uber driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 So...the Sens gave up in one year Nov to Nov Turris 1st 2019 non protected 3rd 2019 Bowers Hammon Phaneuf DiDomenico Brassard Dunn 2018 3rd Shore KARLSSON And have essentially traded half of those players they received in return nd will watch that cancer Duchene walk as a UFA to some sunny US market where he doesn't care come July. Milbury is laughing somewhere in to the arms of Doug Maclean and Garth Snow about how the debate for who the worse GM was is now settled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously this will be treated differently, as it was made public, which it never should have. This sort of chatting does indeed happen all the time but having it leak from the room is brutal. Worse, a "leader" player like MD to say things like he has "tuned out" the coaching staff only a month into the season of his pending UFA year shows an incredible lack of leading by example and probably will end up costing him millions in any deal - NO team wants that sort of character. Sure guys like Horvat probably were less than happy at Willie and now at Green but my guess he keeps it to himself or rants to one or two others on the team in very closed quarters but I doubt for a nanosecond the words "stopped paying attention" ever leaked from his lips. Bad look for the players involved. Bad look for the Senators. Bad in very many ways (also, why do some people treat cab/Uber drivers like non-human entities that you can be an idiot in front of? ). If things were looking a tad brighter in Ottawa due to a decent start, they just returned to as bad as ever. PLEASE to the three teams I like, Canucks, Canes and Cats - DO NOT sign or trade for MD.

HI5 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Lol, not a good look for Duchene at all and the fact Formenton was there, not the best influences for a young kid trying to break into the league. Im sure this happens often behind closed doors but this can’t be a good look for an organization that keeps ending up in th media for all the wrong reasons.
