Ottawa Citizen: A group of Ottawa Senators were recorded in an Uber in Phoenix bad mounting one of their coaches – assistant coach Marty Raymond taking most of.
Some of the comments made in the 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.
“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.” – Defenseman Chris Wideman.
“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.” – Matt Duchene
The Senators, Guy Boucher, and the players issued statements

Rob Khazzam: A video was released by the media today of several Uber passengers being filmed without their consent while having a private discussion during a trip in Phoenix. This is a clear violation of our terms of service and we worked vigorously to investigate this issue.”
Rob Khazzam: “Filming or recording passengers without their consent is totally unacceptable and if reported / detected we will investigate + take action to preserve our communities privacy and integrity. In this specific case, we made efforts to have the video taken down.”
A couple former players and now media members
Ray Ferraro: “Aside from the BS of this @Uber driver posting the video / how do the Sens move past this? I would think it will be incredibly awkward for both players and coaches to respect each other now that comments are public”
Ryan Whitney: “Every team in NHL history has had a cab full of guys ripping the coach or GM. That’s a fact. What a compete scumbag move releasing that video”
