Proposal: Fire DJ Smith

[GCK]

Branny with less than 9 minutes. Smells like a scratch coming against Philly.

Beat Philly and come home with 3 of 4 points.

They will lose to Philly and it will be DJ Smith's last game as coach.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Someone needs to create a fake verified twitter handle and fire DJ.

 

[ffayyca]

I think he'll be gone soon. Giving Chabot that much ice time is a smell of desperation for a coach knowing it's coming.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

That should be the result regardless. Maclean got fired after a win.

 

[boxbox]

DJ Smith is here because he was a cheap hire, that's it. I really can't imagine any other organization hiring this guy as their head coach and keeping him around for 4 years.

well that can be said for a lot of coaches the Sens had/fired...what confuses me is that pretty much all the players have been flipped all the coaches have been flipped even the lunch ladies have been flipped yet the team is still playing the same....

 

[Sens Vader]

are we really gonna wait?

Like this is the third year in a row of this, why are we wasting game after game with him as the coach? The decision should be made now

wineless on the road, 7 game losing streak

it's f***ing 13 games into the season, you can't write it worse. AGAIN

 

[Sun God Nika]

was it just me or did anyone think this is the most pissed/worried he has ever looked in a post game.

Our coaches suck because we scrape the bottom of the barrel for them. How come none of them find head coaching gigs after they move on?

Everybody knows Boudreau was the guy we targeted ahead of Boucher but the numbers didn’t work.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Can't take advantage of an easy schedule
Cant take advantage of a third-stringer in a must-win game
Can't take advantage of a full 4-on-3 powerplay to snap an 8 game losing streak
Can't take advantage of a powerplay full of good offensive players

This guy is not a winner. He has never won anywhere above junior hockey and is well on his way to his fourth straight bottom-10 finish. To make matters worse he pretty much ruined a core player before ever achieving a .500 record.

Agree with the rest but Vanecek has been rock solid this year.

 

[boxbox]

Ryan Reynolds should be strongly considered as Ottawas next coach if DJ gets fired. He would be a lock for the Jack Adams based on his handsomeness alone.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Agree with the rest but Vanecek has been rock solid this year.

I think he's talking about Schmid

 

[GCK]

That should be the result regardless. Maclean got fired after a win.

Great can’t wait to see Jack Capuano behind the bench Ugh

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Talking about Schmidt. We didn’t test him at all outside of the OT PP.

 

[KevinRedkey]

37.7%

That's Motte's career faceoff percentage, and DJ decided he was the guy to take a pivotal faceoff in OT.

This team isn't bad. It's badly coached.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I think he's talking about Schmid

Oops, you're right. My bad.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

They will hire Julien. Dorion knows the team is going to be sold, and that he will need results if he wants to keep his job moving forward. He will go for a bigger fish this time.

tee hee

please continue

I’d be shocked if the board approved a hire like that.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

was it just me or did anyone think this is the most pissed/worried he has ever looked in a post game.

Oh no, what's he going to do? Play Chabot for 40 minutes?

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I’d be shocked if the board approved a hire like that.

Maybe they don't. I think anytime you can bring in an established coach with a successful track record it's a good move for the franchise, regardless of circumstances.

 

[DJB]

One day closer

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I’d be shocked if the board approved a hire like that.

They're about to close in on a billion dollar sale, maybe there is more leeway there.

Just do it before Chabot collapses on the ice.

 

[bashbros32]

Oh no, what's he going to do? Play Chabot for 40 minutes?

I mean, another poster pointed out that Branny played 9 minutes this game...

Obvious solution?

Scratch Brannstrom insert Zaitsev.

Chabot - Zaitsev - 40 minutes EACH
Sanderson - Hamonic
Holden - Bernard-Docker

How did Babcock exactly work out for the Leafs ? how is Boudreau working out for the Canucks ...

You bring inn a d minded coach and the team will regress offensively and if the results don't change it will be the same story all over again but this time how we need a coach that is offensive minded
