Oh wow…. I hope he passed away peacefully and without pain. RIP

 

[Rand0m]

Sad news. Condolences to his family.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Sad to see. Quite young and with a relatively young family. Hope his daughters got to spend some quality time with him in his last days, weeks, and months.

 

[Emerica]

Wow. He obviously didn’t look well but this is a shock. RIP

 

[BankStreetParade]

Wow, this feels surreal. I hope people remember he was a person with a family and someone who fought cancer above and beyond whatever they thought of him as an owner of this team.

 

[slamigo]

Oh man, that’s rough. Rest In Peace.

 

[DJB]

First off RIP and condolences to his family. I am also forever grateful for Melnyk saving the Sens.

But its time to usher in a new direction and commitment to winning.

The time begins now

 

[SpezDispenser]

That's very unfortunate really, I thought he was battling pretty well.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Well I guess Sens fans will get to find out if the grass is indeed greener.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

No one could ever say the man brought anything other than full enthusiasm to everything he did. Rest in peace, Eugene.

 

[RyCam]

RIP Eugene Melnyk

Despite the tumultuous last several years, EM did save our team back in the early 2000s and I will forever be grateful to him for that.

 

[DaveMatthew]

62 years old is far too young. Rest in peace.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Well I guess Sens fans will get to find out if the grass is indeed greener.

So, the team gets sold I presume, or what's the deal here?

 

[budzz]

Holy crap that was out of nowhere. Deepest condolences to his family. We scrap on the ice but that put a pit in my stomach. RIP.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Way too young to go. RIP.

 

[JimmyApples]

RIP. Would have been great to get him a Cup in 07

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

RIP Eugene

 

[SensFactor]

Stunned. He didn't look healthy in his last presser but I didn't realize that he was this ill. RIP Eugene. You saved the Sens and that will never be forgotten.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

All things aside, he did save the franchise when it was on the verge of collapse and was committed to keeping it in Ottawa at a time when it could have been very easy to move it and I will always be thankful for that.

RIP

 

[bicboi64]

Holy shit, hope his family can get through this as best as one can.

RIP

 

[L'Aveuglette]

This is extremely sad news. I had no idea whatsoever he was still sick but thinking back we really hadn't seen him much this year.

All my condolences to his family, and the entire Sens org.

 

[Dan Patrick]

Damn, rest in peace.
