And he explained every detail clearly, i.e., what was acceptable and what was unacceptable (i.e., what were the trigger points). Andlauer hasn't been around here as long and got a lesson of what the preferences of the larger fanbase is in the National Capital Region.
I'm still shocked that this management team is THIS tone deaf. I HATE this idea. It's stupid. I thought Eugene Melnyk came back from the dead. THIS IDEA NEEDS TO BE SCRAPPED AND THE OWNER OWES EVERY FAN AN APOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly think that this is a psyop to convince Ottawa to build a new arena; Threaten with the idea of moving the team to Quebec while the actual goal is get the new arena. Sort of a trump move lol
I get your trying to get new fans but the team has been here for years near the Quebec border. since Andlauer has been here it’s been a lot about Quebec. You have fans here you need to keep.
Andlauer is trying but this city doesn't want to roll the red carpet for him to build a new arena. It is both a move to bring new fans and a shot to the city of Ottawa to get their shit together. And if he manages to bring actual NHL games in Quebec City, it would be a solid uppercut to the Habs who never bothered showing up there for real, taking the fans here for granted and giving nothing back.
Loved Garrioch's explanation both from the fan point of view and from the business point of view. Regarding the business side, as someone who has in-laws deep in the heart of Quebec, years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see a huge number of games broadcast on RDS in those markets (which fall deep into Habs territory). Clearly, Andlauer was thinking of this (namely Quebec being the 2nd largest market for the Sens) and wanted to expand on that excitement. However, if you do so you must take into the thinking of the market in the National Capital Region (NCR) and explain every detail clearly before you make your moves (otherwise the NCR market may misunderstand).
Andlauer was a minority owner of the Habs before, he knows the province and unlike the blind deaf commissioner, believes there is something there to take away from the Habs and their blatant indifference towards Quebec market outside the city of Montreal.
With everything that Sens fans had to endure with Melnyk in the past years, it’s incredible that the team believed that it was a good idea!! Again with Ottawa being the joke of the league !
Sens fans are hypersensitive to the notion that the team could potentially be moved one day. This was a major concern when the team was recently sold to Andlauer, until the fans heard from the NHL and the new owner, the trepidation is real.
The sens fans spend "a lot" of time and money supporting this team exactly where it is!!! Losing games to Switzerland now more to Quebec is dumb, it's the fans that make this happen they've been loyal and through a lot , a little piece of mind knowing the team is going to stay here always isn't much to ask . I drive an hr n a half each way 3-4 times a season we buy 4 tickets each trip and always have. For me Quebec would be a rival why help a rival get in the league. We already have Habs n leafs to battle. 🖕Quebec lol
Poor judgement from Andlauer.
We are called the OTTAWA SENATORS I REPEAT THE OTTAWA SENATORS NOT THE QUEBEC NORDIQUES
Lifelong Nordique fan here, we welcome you Senators! RIP Badaboum.
Way to hit this out of the park Bruce! You spoke to the fans and understood why this was such a big miss

The senators can't make enough money in Kanata they need a downtown arena in ottawa the beauracrats are dragging there feet on the LeBron Flats land

How about converting all of the hockey fans in Ottawa who refuse to cheer for their own city's team?
