Breaking: Sens players involved in Uber scandal studying all legal options!

It seems like the mess in Ottawa is only about to get messier... We are not just talking the possibility of Guy Boucher getting fired or a coaching change being made behind the bench, it seems now the law is about to get involved into this... 

In a viral vied released last night, several players of the Ottawa Senators openly joked about their penalty-killing abilities, mocked one of their coaches, Martin Raymond, and laughed at the ineffectiveness of special-team meetings in a candid video from their Uber car ride during a team's road trip. The video — since taken down — appears to have been shot in Phoenix on Oct. 29 or 30 during the team’s western road swing. While forward Mark Stone revealed that the team was aware of the video before it went viral, it does not change the fact that head coach Guy Boucher feels embarrassed by its content and takes it personal. 

And to think, the video came out a year after the Senators made the blockbuster move to land Matt Duchene, who is badmouthing everyone in the team during the aforementioned video. 

“Marty Raymond, the only coach in NHL history to have the worst power-play and the worst PK within a calendar year,” says Sens forward Matt Duchene, in reference to Martin Raymond, an assistant coach in charge of the team’s penalty-killing this year and power-play last season.

“Here’s the other thing, too. We don’t change anything, ever. So why do we even have a meeting? I haven’t paid attention in three weeks.”

Raymond, 51, was hired by the Senators in July 2016 and has previously served as an assistant to Boucher with the Tampa Bay Lighting and in the American Hockey League. 

Since, the players involved, Thomas Chabot, Dylan DeMelo, Matt Duchene, Alex Formenton, Chris Tierney, Chris Wideman, and Colin White issued a statement to apologize to Raymond and the rest of the team for their comments. 

They are also studying all of the legal options to sue Uber, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports. 

Head coach Guy Boucher made the following statement after the footage was released to the public: 

“Nothing is more important to us during this rebuild than making sure our players and coaches are fully committed to our plan, our values and our system of play. We have every confidence in Marty Raymond’s coaching; in the effort and determination of our team; and in the sincerity of our players’ apology. We are now treating this as a team matter, and will be making no further comment to the media.”
