from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
Eugene Melnyk has reached out to the Ottawa Senators’ fan base to try to mend the fences.
The Senators’ owner is doing a media tour in Toronto Tuesday and he indicated it was “unfortunate” his comments about possibly moving the team last month if they didn’t get support didn’t sit well with the people of Ottawa.
Melnyk, who is working with a Toronto-based public relations firm, told CTV’s Your Morning he is fortunate to own an NHL team and is committed to trying to bring a Stanley Cup to Ottawa.
“Whatever was said in December, it’s unfortunate that it hit a real nerve in Ottawa,” Melnyk said. “The reality is I love the city, I love the people, I love the fans and it’s actually my privilege to be there and to ice a team like the Ottawa Senators.
