On a special edition of TCA Rob and Matt discuss the over 20 year relationship between Eugene Melnyk and the Ottawa Senators fanbase.

Don't forget to leave us a rating and a review there inside your podcast app. It helps us out a ton and only takes a moment.

Lots of complicated feelings to unpack on the day after Sens' owner Eugene Melnyk passed away. What were the vibes like when he bought the team? How did it begin to go south? What were the positives he brought to the market? How will fans remember his time at the helm of their favourite team?

Rob has been here for all of it so we get him to walk us through the good and bad.
