Why we hate the Ottawa Senators

Well... how much time you got, buddy?

The basics

Everybody should hate the Ottawa Senators.

Canada’s alleged “capital city” is home to one of the most unlikable sports franchises in all of North American professional athletics (with all due respect to New England, Washington, and Dallas in the NFL, the Boston Red Sox, and pretty much anything emanating from New York City).

What makes the Sens so worthy of our hate? That special, Philadelphia kind of eternally-burning, passed-on-through-generations, J.D. Drew-esque hate?

Eugene Melnyk.

Full stop.

We could spend this entire article detailing how much the Sens’ owner sucks.
