Podcast appearances and mentions of Eugene Melnyk

Eugene Melnyk once saved the Ottawa Senators from possibly needing to leave Canada but then spent the rest of his time as owner, causing chaos at every turn! We dive into this very complicated man with The Athletic's Ian Mendes and comedian Jon Dore. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We get into some of the things GM Pierre Dorion talked about in his various media appearances this week. This includes revisiting the Erik Karlsson trade, which Dorion says resulted in him receiving death threats. He regrets having to trade Mark Stone and says he recommended an 8 year deal that Eugene Melnyk vetoed. And much more!

“Brady's better… Brady's better!” Sens fans were praising their captain as he scored the opening goal in a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers.Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan break down the win with talk about the physical battles, the power play clicking and Mads Sogaard's improved play! With Dylan Ferguson being sent down, we debate how Cam Talbot should be used moving forward. The Belleville Senators may be at the bottom of their division, but there is still hope for them to make it to the “Play In Series”. And we reflect on the passing of Eugene Melnyk a year ago. Check us out on TWITTER and YOUTUBE!Support us by supporting our sponsors!Glebe Central Pub Glebe Central Pub is your neighbourhood pub in the heart of the Glebe.

Sheldon Plener didn't set out to become a sports lawyer. But that's where his legal journey took him: first, by helping to negotiate the expansion of an NBA team into Toronto in the mid-1990s; then as a key figure in the Ottawa Senators organization, where he's currently the chairman and governor, after former owner Eugene Melnyk died this past spring. Now, the partner at Cassels Brock & Blackwell finds himself heading up the sale of the NHL team. While Plener was not at liberty to discuss the sale on this podcast, he still has plenty of stories to share, from his behind-the-scenes access to the birth of the Toronto Raptors to his all-star days with the Toronto Maple Leafs intercounty baseball club. And he explains how he got to where he is, including his biggest tip for any young lawyers hoping for a career in professional sports law. Elsewhere in the episode, the boys chat about who they're rooting for at the World Cup (hint: not a lot of European countries with regrettable mid-20th-century histories), and they give props to Denis Shapovalov for helping to secure Canada's victory at the recently wrapped Davis Cup.

I'm going to be real, there's a lot of William Nylander discussion. We really embodied the AND ANOTHER THING vibe.

Marshawn Lynch is now a part owner of a the Seattle Kraken. Which begs the question: What zamboni donut-esque way would we spin our NHL ownership? It was a busy week for goalies around the NHL, with Frederick Andersen and Tristan Jarry going out with injuries. What will this mean for their teams playoff chances?  The Athletic released a tell-all about Eugene Melnyk's time as the owner of the Ottawa Senators. But was it too soon after his passing? Mike Bossy passed away this week. Where does the New York Islander great rank among the all time best? There are two more teams to add to the Elimination Station. Up first: The Winnipeg Jets. Will Connor Hellebuyck return to form next year? Should Dave Lowry stay as the coach? Lastly, we select the Pavel Bure Must Watch Games of the Week. Pick the score of each game over on our Twitter.

First, Ian and Hailey discuss the reaction to the Eugene Melnyk piece Ian, Katie Strang, and Dan Robson published last week in The Athletic, as well as some of the behind the scenes details about how much work went into writing it, whether we'd rather see a Conor McDavid vs. Jack Eichel first round playoff matchup or for the Vegas Golden Knights to miss the playoffs entirely, the St. Louis Blues going on an under-the-radar hot streak as of late, buoyed by the strong play of Vladimir Tarasenko, and more. Then, The Athletic's own Joe Smith joins the show to talk about the recent struggles for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning, if the Bolts would be favored in a first round playoff matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, how trade deadline acquisition Nick Paul has fit in so far, and more. Plus, to close things out, Ian and Hailey play a couple of rounds of Multiple Choice Madness, including which top-25 scorer in the NHL hasn't gotten enough buzz this season and which team needs to win the NHL Draft lottery the most.

NHL Insider and Host of Ray and Dregs, Darren Dreger, joined the show in his regular spot. Talked about the GM meetings that just wrapped up. Talked about LTIR and how it’s being used as a tool. Dregs talked about what he took away from that. Says that 10-12 GM’s have been talking about it for quite some time. Talked about the botched Dadanov trade. Was embarrassing to the NHL. Most would be surprised to know that central registry doesn’t keep track of NMC. They will now, though… They can’t go through this again. Talked about Eugene Melnyk. The speculation will be endless about what will happen with the club. Jeff Paterson was on with Matt and Blake in his normal time to talk Canucks. Talked about the season that was for Nils Höglander, after it was announced he was likely out for the rest of the season. The hope was his rookie year was the baseline for him. That just didn’t happen. He is a guy loaded with skill but didn’t see enough of it in his 2nd season in the NHL. Talked about Boudreau and his eagle eyed view of the out of town scoreboard.

Daren starts the episode with John Shannon to talk about the legacy of Eugene Melnyk and how the NHL, Ottawa community and the Senators are reacting to his death (1:20). Shannon goes on to talk about teams that he considers contenders and teams that he believes are pretenders (18:30).

He also talks about the personality of this Panthers team, what they learned from last year's playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Aleksander Barkov's impact on his teammates (40:00). 

Patrick Johnston of the Province and Post Media joined Matt and Blake in his regular Tuesday slot. Started off by talking about the microscope on different Canadian sport entities like gymnastics and bobsled. Also Rugby. Talked about Boudreau. If you are playing well, he will praise you. Otherwise he is pretty blunt and clear on what he wants. PJ thinks that this is a group who is comfortable with what BB wants. Talked about Garland. Talked about the roller coaster ride that following the Canucks brings you. Every day he doesn’t have to write about a game that doesn’t matter is a good thing. Talked about Brad Hunt. Jeff Paterson stopped by in his regular spot. Talked about the struggles of Conor Garland and where he stands in this team at his production rate. Being the next layer of offence has just not happened yet. It’s not just him, only 4 forwards scored on the 4 game road trip. Talked about the length of term and what they are paying him and the rest of his contract. JPat is a little worried but he is a better player than he has shown in the last few weeks. Talked about the deal with ARI and if he would have a do-over. Says he wouldn’t have done it. Talked about Aiden McDonough and when or if we could see him with the Canucks. He has all the cards after deciding to go back to school for his final year. Ian Mendes of the Athletic in Ottawa joined Matt and Blake after the passing of Eugene Melnyk. Talked about the rapid decline of his health and who knew about it, after it seemed so sudden. He is a very complex character and to try to paint a portrait of such a complex individual is a challenge. To capture the compassionate, caring side while not forgetting the vindictive side is also a challenge. His type of personality didn’t seem to be a good fit in the city of Ottawa. Saw some dizzying highs and some very low, lows. Ian talked about all the star players who came through OTT under Melnyk. Says Eugene could turn on a dime. There were times he was very open with him and there were times where he was completely shut out. Ian wasn’t alone in that. Melnyk alienated a lot of people in a lot of different regions of the city. Says the two things he deserves credit for are stepping up and buying the team in 03, after players didn’t cheques to cash. The first 4 years are the greatest years of the team. Wouldn’t know what grade to give him as an owner, mostly because there wouldn’t be a team if it wasn’t for him. Talked about who the functional owner and operator of the team is. Talked about what Gary said about it, this morning. He mentioned his daughters by name. Not at all concerned about Quebec City being a replacement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
