Wow, I didn’t realize that he was ill.  Condolences to his family and friends.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Wasn't he for all intents and purposes, not the greatest person? I ask seriously because I just recall a lot of negativity surrounding him in the years past. 

[Pimlach]

Tuch needed that.  
 

Mitts using his mitts. 

[Pimlach]

Chicago announcer says it wasn’t a penalty.  😂. Clowns. 

[Pimlach]

Nice.  Beat these bums.  
 

 

[SDS]

Can someone get Pimlach an apple AirTag or something? That dude is lost more than my keys.

Odd choice of words for this topic

[Stoner]

I got this. Punch, come on. I'll drive. Dodo's gonna be pissed. You're definitely sleeping on the davenport.

I, for one, blame the Senators fan base for not providing him with organs of suitable quality.  

No follow-up questions.

Not sure about the *not nice person* part, but he wanted to make money owning a hockey team and didn't really care about the standings is what I remember.

Melnyk was a Rigas-level dirtbag with the benefit of having Rigas go first.  Literally harvested Sens fans for organs. 
 

Loath though I may be to promote the ringer, they got it mostly right a few years ago:

Is he going to be beating the bums that are in heaven or in h-e-double-hockey-sticks?

[triumph_communes]

Died with his team in the gutter. Fitting. Blackhawks we’re a gutter team until their owner died too

In QC they most be hoping a lot more of getting a Nordiques team back.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Say what you want about how he ran the team, but he was the Senators' OSP.  He literally saved the team from the dust bin of history.

That and no matter what ... 62 is extremely young.

[LGR4GM]

Wow, sorry to hear that. 

[FogBat]

Before the Sens-Preds game started in Nashville tonight, the PA announcer called for a moment of silence in memory of the guy.

(Hopefully I got that one in before the thread went off the rails even further.)
