Eugene Melnyk's latest bid to rev up disenchanted Ottawa Senators fans doesn't seem to be working out very well.

On Tuesday, the Senators owner penned an open letter vowing to keep the team in Ottawa. The team also posted a video Monday night in which Melnykis interviewed by Sens defenceman Mark Borowiecki.

Reaction to the video was swift, and sometimes savage.

Then there's the question of timing, right before training camp.

Some fans accused Melnyk of contradicting himself.

Others got hung up on the jersey Melnykwore in the video an outdatedReebok model.

Still, some Sensfans are pledging their undying support.
