This includes the horrible first 4 years and last 2 years. They have been quite a succesfull franchise overall .
I do believe the Fans are alarmed currently with the past 2 years and not stop drama and possible downward trending , that may or may not correct itself.


With Melynk 9 playoff appearances.
Overall, since inception in 92/93.

The Senators are the 2nd best Canadian team. With 16 playoff appearances.
*** Winnipeg not having a team for 16 years.
The Habs made 16 playoff appearances in this time frame. With 1 cup. So they would be ranked #1 Canada team.
Canucks - 15 playoff appearances
Leafs - 14 playoff appearances
Flames - 12 playoff appearances
Oilers - 8 playoff appearances
Jets - 4 *****

Since 2011/12. ( all stats i could find, i was trying to locate since Melynk took over and the start of modern nhl cap but couldnt...im sure they are there)
2 times spent max
6 times spent 80-90%

The truth, my brothers, is that we can b*tch and complain, discuss for years and years..... but the only way this team EVER gets into the cup conversation is if the owner is removed OR he has a fundamental shift when it's time to spend

But the frustrating thing is that he will always push back the time to spend

every time i get around a group of Sens fans i am surprised by how keen they are to watch this young team grow. most are furious with Melnyk and insist they won’t come back until he is gone. yet, most everyone seems anxious to get back to attending games.

everyone wants it sooner rather than later
