Sens run embarrassing and cringe worthy new promo following leaked Uber video

In case you somehow, someway missed it. Ottawa Senators players Matt Duchene, Thomas Chabot, Chris Tierney, Dylan DeMelo, Alex Formenton, Chris Wideman, and Colin White were exposed earlier this week in a leaked video from an Uber driver. The Sens players slammed power play coach Marty Raymond, with Duchene admitting that he “hasn’t paid attention in three weeks.”

Check out the video below:

This story was broken by an unnamed Citizen reporter, with quotes from their article below:

“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.”

Defenceman Chris Wideman, sitting in the front passenger seat, chirps in: “Do you notice that when (Raymond) runs the video, if you actually do pay attention, he doesn’t ever teach you anything? He just commentates what’s happening.”

Then Duchene can be heard replying: “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.”

Defenceman Thomas Chabot can also be seen in the middle of the second row of seats. When Wideman says, “I also hate how he quizzes us,” the conversation meanders and Chabot says, of the next potential meeting: “No, please ask a question, just so he says ‘great question.’”

You would think, after the PR nightmare that the team had to endure based on this video leaking that the Sens would want NOTHING to do with Uber. But then again… this is the Ottawa Senators we’re talking about….

With that in mind, check out their latest in-arena promo:

The Ottawa Senators are running an Uber advertisement at the Canadian Tire Centre tonight. 

“Uber: You bring the Noise, we bring the ride.”

Yup.

You bring the noise. We bring the ride. You REALLY can’t make this stuff up… good grief.

The Sens haven’t removed the promo or responded to media requests about it, but they did address the leaked video yesterday with a statement from head coach Guy Boucher and the players involved.  

Check it out:

In response to Postmedia’s coverage of a privacy breach against its players and coaches, the Senators players involved and Guy Boucher issued the following statement.

From Guy Boucher:

“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 o 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.”

From Thomas Chabot, Dylan DeMelo, Matt Duchess, Alex Formenton, Chris Tierney, Chris Wideman, and Colin White:

“We want to apologize publicly to Marty Raymond, our teammates and coaches for our comments in Phoenix Arizona on October 29. Our private conversation was recorded without our knowledge or consent. We’re passionate about our team, and focusing on growing together. We are grateful for the support of our fans and organization. This is an important leaning experience, and we will do better.”
