Confirmed with Link: Dorion fired. Staios interim GM.

[Senscore]

Man, Andlauer is pissed at Betteman. The comment of maybe the league kept this quiet to drive up the sale price shows how pissed he is.

Best revenge would be making that clown hand us the Cup

I have a hard time assessing performance of a GM who worked for Melnyk.

You shouldn’t. He’s truly terrible.

Murray went down as a legend.....

 

[BigRig4]

That press conference was an absolute rollercoaster

 

[BondraTime]

Extremely, extremely refreshing.

 

[DJB]

I think he’ll be fine the same way I thought Waddell would be fine after being awful in Atlanta.

I just don’t see how anyone can defend Chiarelli based on his past performance.

It’s indefensible

Waiting for Bruce's hit piece on Dorion

Re: Andlauer talking about meeting with Dorion to demand his resignation. Shouldn't that have been Steve Staios' call? What's the point of having a POHO if you're just going to make all his decisions anyway? I've been happy with Andlauer's ownership so far but his insistence on being in the spotlight and front and centre of every hockey issue is starting to give me Melnyk vibes.

 

[Stylizer1]

Streets are saying Staios hates Chabot and wants to bring back Karlsson.

 

[JackieDaytona]

He didn't really say that. He said everything but that.

Saying that DJ believes their is room to improve. That he beleives that there is room to improve. The players believe in him.

But that the team would move in the right direction.

Great answer.

Staios literally said "I believe in this team. I believe in this coaching staff..."

I’m not defending Chiarelli whatsoever. I just don’t think he’s automatically terrible in a different situation based on a 3 year sample size 5 years ago.

Murray was a great coach.

Seriously? C'mon

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

well, in the press conference it was stated as "agreed to part ways". That the business way of saying fired.

Pierre Dorion is no longer general manager of the Ottawa Senators and president of hockey operations Steve Staios will take over as interim GM.

www.tsn.ca

Start at 1:30 "Pierre Dorion has resigned and been relieved of his duties as General Manager"

Bring receipts

Today is proudly the proudest day I've ever had

They both said similar things about Dorion just a few weeks ago.

It was about as lukewarm an endorsement you can get.

The reality is, I think both Staios and Andlauer have tempered expectations for this season. They're in the midst of a reset, and it's highly unlikely DJ is the long-term coach for this team.

Fans may have to wait a few months, though.

At this point, I think the mindset "let's get through the year semi-competitive, without embarrassing ourselves, and then regroup in the summer."

Dorion was a great head of amateur scouting, as Andlauer made a point of acknowledging. Andlauer didn't say much about Dorion's GM tenure. But it's got to be recognized that Dorion was running with next to no support. Now, he might be to blame for that a bit himself, but mostly that's the limitation of the org he worked for. Being over-extended and having to do it all yourself will lead to lack of oversight, mistakes, bad judgment.

Pour one out for Dorion. He was in over his head with no swim buddies. And probably sufferend from Dunning-Kruger effect as he was promoted into the void of Sens upper management. If I were a POHO or owner of another team, I'd look at Dorion as a candidate for a scouting or AGM role.

 

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

Lol Mendes. If Dorion had not agreed to "mutually part ways", the conversation would have ended, and he still wouldn't be here.

Presenting this as if it there was an alternate ending is jokes.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I don't think there is any sign one way or another that DJ is the coach here long term.

For Dorion to get firesigned, it took complete mismanagement of the cap, a losing skid, and an international incident.

They weren't going to take over the team mid-September and randomly clean house. The situation is also complicated by the players liking DJ Smith. Until he gets an extension, you can't really assume he is their guy. It seems like similar to Dorion, they will wait to see if he falls on his own sword, and if not they will see if he has done enough to merit keeping over whoever they want to pat on the shoulder and make King.

Yeah, I mean what else are you going to say except some sort of supportive statement if you're not replacing coaching staff today. Agree lukewarm at best (hence, huh. Interesting.)

But I'm more calling out a poster who said 'he didn't say that' when it was pretty much a direct, verbatim quote that I posted. He did, in fact, say. That.

Ah my mistake. I thought he had carefully chosen his words to not say that.

I was listening in the shower haha. Maybe got some water in my ears.
