Ya, that guy is posting British tabloid level stuff there. This was about what was going on after the misconduct and the yapping on the ice
Lalime's Martian gets zero respect from me, I wasn't able to watch last night so I have no clue as to context. But I do think its safe to assume that the frustration is as high as it has ever been, DJ is probably losing his cool a bit, and the players are probably losing their cool a bit. There is no way anyone feels good or happy right now, and that's a dangerous thing.
He has been on the “Fire DJ” train for some time, but making up stuff fits in well with his persona. Add him to the list of wannabes and his “taking it to the streets “ posting gossip schtick, bla bla bla. The only guys who are good on Twitter are Mendes and a few others. Jack Richardson is quite balanced, I like him. All these “Everyday Sens” dorks, the Locked on Sens guys are great other than the horrific karma of laughing at Murray and then watching Talbot turn into…Murray. I believe in the hockey gods lol
Why would dj be talking to someone on the ice like that. And why would stutzle be shaking his head and muttering under his breath if it’s someone on the ice? He should be on his feet.
Yeah, I lost some respect for that poster. Stützle was obviously cursing at the ref and not DJ.

Zero arguments from me. Needs to be a cleaned house from management down save a few guys.
"...DJ way of saying defending I think" I'm still chuckling, thanks for the laugh.Senators lineup shake up coming after yet another lopsided loss
With every fresh loss, the hope of the Senators making a mark in the race for a playoff spot become more remote.
Just a few days ago DJ was making changes within the top 6 .. saying they need to score more to take care of the minuses .. so in other words score their way out of their woes. Now he wants to change it up again and focus on checking which is a DJ way of saying defending I think. Not sure. But a focus to cutting your goals against should never be an after thought if you want to win..
His low hanging fruit move is to switch Joseph and Batherson.
I am not sure what else he'll do on that front .. Move DeBrincat down for Kelly doesn't seem reasonable. Watson for Giroux? laughable.
Now does he play the same system expecting one or two changes to make a big difference. Does he tweak the undisciplined all out forecheck to more of a 2-1-2 keeping one man high and rotating ?
It just seems to me that DJ has gone too long to focus at all on goals against vs goals for.. Believing the the XGFs could turn into GFs. Every playoff team will be able to defend and make adjustments to defend .. This team makes zero adjustments. Its peddle to the metal dump , forecheck , hope to score , or draw a penalty. The Dzone from a defenseman perspective is at least partially personnel... The forwards playing with attention to detail and responsible positionally with out the puck does not change by switching a couple of wingers around. The detail you want you need to describe in detail through all three zones. Players want to know , and need to know specifics of their responsibilities . To hold them accountable or at least tell them where they broke down they need to know what you want first. There are a lot of details missing. Check hard doesn't do it. Track hard doesn't do it. Hopefully its a step in the right direction for them but my confidence level in making changes making a difference is pretty low.
I agree with what you are trying to accomplish by hiring either of those two coaches (my preference is Martin). The timing is likely off due to the impending sale but the team needs someone to implement defensive discipline, or system, or whatever is lacking.
Yes there’s the well documented playoff failures, but we haven’t even come close to sniffing the post-season with this core so I can’t see why that matters.
I don't expect a coaching change. DJs owed another year so .. that decision likely gets left to the new owners.
You're right; we should definitely keep DJ until the new owners arrive.
I agree it will be left to new owners. Interesting that you don't expect a change. I blame Dorion more than Smith for the team's record over the past couple of years but I expect both, and more, to be gone. Date of the sale, coaching/GM/ Scout options, etc. will play a role in the timing. I'll be surprised if DJ is around to start next season. We'll see. You could well be right.
DJ would be owed one year. Dorion has two years after this one. Both of them, though, would be amongst the lowest paid in the league, so for a new owner paying them out is a rounding error...
