there are strict emoji laws on HFSens...

Better throw the ban hammer down on em then I'd say!

Czech Republic team - correct?

think they identify as Czechia now.

With respect to the D core/managment it’s an all encompassing issue.
From our end out.
They don’t seem to utilize the greatest strength of the D which is mobility.

In our own zone the far side D man is rarely an outlet.
In the offensive zone we don’t pinch hard down the boards very often.
We give up both bluelines way too easily.

It’s so frustrating to watch.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

That 1998 team was incredible. One of the best international squads ever put together. Of course having Hasek in net made it a little unfair.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

It sucks though because at so e point he'll get fired. I'd rather have him be in management/hockey ops and stay with the franchise long term.

he doesn't have to get fired. if it goes bad they can just promote/move him to hockey ops.

alfie is eternal.

Daniel Alfredsson

I love Alfie but St-Louis was a tier above.

Mind you, not like the difference was massive but Marty had an incredible career.

the crazy thing about Alfie was that he played defense out AND he was a 100 point player.

at worst they are same tier.

The benefit of being in the right place at the right time in a lot of cases.

Always hard to know what the difference was or if it was just more beneficial circumstances.

Also, that puck was in the net for Calgary lol.

It's been a month. Can he not find a suitable GM already

 

[Crosside]

What s frustrating, we don’t hear if the team have start interviewing. Normally we hear names that have be interviewed

Roy for coach and gm would be the perfect fit. Don’t know what they waiting

Because they don’t want Roy for coach and/or GM, most likely

Good chance whoever they are targeting won't be available until the offseason.

 

[DrEasy]

I have a feeling they've settled on the GM they want, but that future GM is only available once the season is over. This of course delays the hiring of coaches and possibly other personnel as well (scouts?), which is very unfortunate...

 

[PlayersLtd]

People realize that Patrick Roy is litterally the riskiest coaching hire we could make right? I don't understand the infatuation, he's a terrible fit for a team that is begging for stability.

He is stubborn, he is unconventional, he's a lightning rod for criticism and he is a players coach who doesn't call out his players, like DJ.

I would be all for it if we were a good team needing a kick in the pants (like WPG before this season for example) or if we were a desperate team with a window closing (like VAN before the season started, or MIN) or if we were a tough city that could handle his antics no matter what (like PHI). But we are none of those.

We are a fragile franchise with a new owner who just wants some stability and to put pieces together one by one that add up to a winning formula, which we are on the cusp of. People seem to want the fireworks show and I don't get that, the damage Roy could cause is just not worth it. It's the ultimate roll of the dice and I don't think anyone should want that path right now.

A couple of thoughts on your comment.

I think MA and SS are very discrete and want to avoid the circus of a media show when speculating. So if they are interviewing they are doing a terrific job at keeping it quiet.
More likely...

...they have a name(s) of people they like, those people are unavailable and they are willing to write off the year until they can get the person at the top of their list. He won't compromise on GM is my guess.

And good on them if that's the case. Next GM will likely be here a decade. Got to make sure it's the right person for the job.

Mathieu Darche ( Tampa AGM ) + 9 other possible GM options .. sez Ian Mendes in new article. Bilingual? pourquoi pas?

There’s a stink hanging around Roy. Until that goes away, he won’t be hired. Additionally, I’m not sure what you see in this guy that others (myself included) don’t.

"Over the past month, The Athletic has spoken to a handful of executives, scouts and national media members to try and get a sense of which candidates the Senators might consider to be their general manager. Here is a list of 10 candidates who might make sense to ultimately replace Pierre Dorion in Ottawa."

It's just another listicle.

16 season of coaching and just two under 500. This year his team win the LHJMQ championship and the Memorial trophy. Know how to work with the new generation player. He have respect aura arround him. Imagine the marketing that could bring and the first game the Sens play against Montreal.

I agree. An interim coach under the correct conditions, etc. still appeal;s to me.

You know who else was a successful CHL coach?

DJ Smith
