Senators owner Eugene Melnyk says he was unimpressed by MPP Lisa MacLeod’s “flippant” apology for an f-bomb laden tirade at last weekend’s Rolling Stones concert.

Melnyk and MacLeod spoke briefly by phone on Thursday afternoon, then MacLeod tweeted Friday morning acknowledging her “blunt” language.

“Let me set the record straight,” MacLeod said in a 6:10 a.m. tweet after the story appeared on the front page of this newspaper. “I gave @ MelnykEugene some feedback at the Rolling Stones concert and I apologized to him for being so blunt. I have serious concerns about the state of our beloved Ottawa Senators! We need to get our team back on the road to winning the cup!”

Melnyk was unimpressed.

“It had nothing to do with the Ottawa Senators,” Melnyk said Friday. “She didn’t even mention the Ottawa Senators. She’s trying to justify it, but she didn’t even acknowledge that she made a mistake.”

Melnyk was at Saturday’s Rolling Stones concert near Barrie with friends and family when he says MacLeod burst through the crowd and said: “Do you know who I am? I am your minister and you’re a f—ing piece of s–t and you’re a f—ing loser’.”
