@sensarmy

Yes it proves that but how does it make you feel that a Veteran like Duchene saying "he hasnt paid attention for 3 weeks" to the team meetings. That is not a good attitude to have even if it is justified and it sets a bad example for the younger player

he said he hadn't paid attention to that particular coach..........and I'm pretty sure you (and the players in the car) can read between the lines and realize that his comment was completely "tongue in cheek"

People tend to exaggerate, pretty much always. It was a group of guys complaining about their boss and you can't take everything they say literally.

Perhaps, but boy I would like to assist to the next video session !

I dont know about the rest of you but IMO the video tells me that those 6 players in particular care about the results on the ice and the way this team is trending in the short term.

Forget for a second that this was recorded (which is really the only problem). What they're saying is that (a) we recognize that our special teams are not faring well right now and (b) This could be rectified if the coach in charge of the special teams communicates what he wants from his players more effectively than he is doing right now.

everyone is focusing on the sound bites and missing the message. Sure saying "i stopped paying attention 3 weeks ago" doesnt sound good but theres a message there. Sure these 6 guys and others on the team need to tell the coach thet they dont get what he wants out of them. then again it wasnt their intention for him to find out about this through a nanny cam either.

It would have been real easy to say "i dont care about our team stats or the results as long as i'm getting paid". instead what i took away was that they do have some pride and they want to see better results. just my take

Whether right or wrong of Uber to release, the players should have been aware they were being recorded imo. Uber cars usually have a piece of paper or little sign above their cameras saying you are being recorded in case any occurrences happen during your ride.

Arizona law says only 1 person has to have knowledge of taping. That 1 person was the driver. Too bad sens

You can have every warning sign up, have a person sign every waiver, and acknowledge every release, but sadly if the other party wants to sue, they will be able to sue.

As for the Sens, poop talking bosses and co-workers happen all day every day, but the real concern is the lack of care they have in competing and ultimately the teams success. Not to mention what kind of toxicity the attitude of the veterans will do the younger generation that were in their presence.

that probably refers to the act of recording....plus, it's not an Uber camera, it's the driver who chose to put it in his car (not all uber's have cameras).....the one person knowing can't be the person recording

what does Arizona law say about releasing that recording to the media

laugh while you can.....all the smoke and mirrors hiding your tire fire of a team are slowly fading away. you'll be right at the bottom of the conference with Ottawa at the end of the year.

I'd love to see a source for this and, even if that is the case, you can't really consider the person doing the taping to be the "one person" that consents to the recording.

only one person has to give consent. big difference. Arizona law is based on the expectation of privacy. if the players were not made aware that were going to be recorded there is an issue.

Kot is better than Tkachuk and most importantly will be much better in just a few years

Say what you want but Sergachev was a good pick, and Phoeling is pointing out to be a good one too

Oh, Suzuki is on fire too, seems we did great on that trade too !

So hey no argument we did some stupid things in the past, but its looks much brighter in the last 3 years ! where in Ottawa....

This Uber tape is the least of the Sens' worries.

Put Melnyk in an Uber and send him to the Yukon.
