The guy who came up with but failed to monetize "danger flutes." I’m a fan of the Senators from Ottawa and I have a Substack about bin-diving for records at rabbitholerecords.substack.com

GAME ON
In celebration of the hockey season kicking off tomorrow, we offer a breakdown of the Ottawa Senators theme song. [EDIT: user does not allow embedded video, because why would you do that if youR…

I guess it’s worth mentioning that this past October was the 10th anniversary of the original danger flutes post on Welcome To Your Karlsson Years: welcometoyourkarlssonyears.com/2014/10/08/g...

Little known fact: every single Sens goal this season has been called back after review. This is an NHL first, and a record.

The one guy on the Sens who actually is cheating on his wife: “Yeah! This outrageous rumormongering will not stand, right guys?”

On the one hand, I don’t wish to speak ill of the dead. But on the other, the undead spirit of Eugene Melnyk still stalks this earth, his unholy moan driving good men to commit foul deeds, just as he did to King Théoden of Rohan when he served as his advisor under the name Gríma Wormtongue.

It’s fun how this list comprises maybe 40% of crazy things that have happened
The Sens curse goes back to the tank for Daigle. Think about all the nonsense this org has dealt with in the years since. Yashin, bankruptcy, the Hossa song and trade debacle that lost us Chara, the Heatley nonsense, the Heatley signing bonus nonsense. Yost getting hacked after being critical

It’s hard to know if the Sens’ season is going off the rails as part of a larger curse relating to the years 2025 and 2026, or if those years became cursed because the Sens are cursed and are the center of all things. I demand the GM release a statement clarifying who is cursing what.

If this guy’s available and makes less than $5M, seems like that’s a good bet?

I really don’t understand how a burner account on x was able to get so much traction. I had thousands of followers but after the great algo fuckification nobody ever saw my shit cause I wasn’t interesting in paying the cringelord

I’m not sure if I understand. If the rumors aren’t true, how is it news that some stranger is saying made up stuff on twitter? Doesn’t this happen every day?

So, like, the Sens are signing 37-year old James Reimer, right?

Game isn’t even half over and futures on a Sens win over Avs are selling for 4 cents. Shots are tied! I could think of worse bets. Buy $5 worth now.

The reason the Sens rumor thing sucks so much is because no matter what, it confirms something we’d rather not admit - either it’s true and hockey players act the way we think they do, or it’s not true and hockey fans online act the way we think they do.

I have released a statement that should put an end to these ugly rumors that I have lost my pee-while-standing privileges in my own house. I have the full support of my teammates, who can confirm that I pee accurately, even though I’m pretty tall and the toilet is too low to the ground.

I am a DIE HARD Ottawa Senators fan, and I am ready to REV UP THE RED!!! (you couldn’t pay me money to watch this game against Colorado.)

Oh good, tomorrow the Sens play…the Avalanche. On the second half of a back-to-back against a team with four regulation losses in 42 games. But it’s hockey, so I’m calling it now: Mads Sogaard wins it for us.

I refuse to believe that the game of hockey isn’t harmful to my mental health.

This Sens season has the most games in memory when the coach could credibly say “we play that exact game 9 times out of 10, we’re winning.”

Utah Outlaws and Utah Wranglers were both such clearly superior options over Utah Mammoth, especially if your logo is going to be a Mammoth with mountains on its head.

Man, it’s always the same with the Sens. Goalie lets in an early soft one, defense starts running around frantically to compensate, the forwards start cheating trying to be a hero to get the team back into it, they lose structure and allow another…it’s like a cascading system failure.
