How much rope does DJ Smith have? [UPDATE: None]

[AchtzehnBaby]

I don't suppose there's any way to drop the "update: none" part of the title until something actually changes? Or start a new thread or something?

A bit weird clicking on this thing thinking something has happened when it hasn't.

Done

Did @swiftwin take a break from HFBoards?

You know what taking a break isn't a bad thing! HFBoards can be rough on your mental health

Not spending a dime on this team until something changes. Selling my tickets that I pre-purchased.

Was all for this when Melnyk owned the team , however we are now in the stage where ownership is spending to the cap and beyond with LTIR. Are they making dumb moves? Sure. But this is something you protest with your voice by booing at the games or staying home is fine too but there shouldn’t be calls to boycott or anything

Those 4 300s will hurt the team. Please rethink.

Should a mod from Toronto really be saying things like this to people who actually spend money on games?

Should a mod in general really be saying things like this? Are you calling him poor? Seems pretty unwarranted imo.

It was a joke, relax.

On a related note, it’s laughable DJ is still employed.

When Sens team is on a suck-a-thon Achtzenbaby is there to take the low road

Who did that anyway? I was also led to believe he had been fired last night when I saw the thread update.

Just fed up of the boycotting

I mean regardless if you're fed up you're a mod here man you should not be taking shots at people. You're fed up with boycotting well people are fed up with a decade of suck you should understand that.

It wasn't a joke just look down at his response.

Nah, I'm good. I've been to several games this year already and bought merch and whatnot. But this is getting ridiculous. I've watched every game these past few years, but there's a limit to how much $ I can justify giving to a team that looks like it's REGRESSING. I even bought that Budweiser goal lamp in preparation for this year (lol).

@AchtzehnBaby it's a lot more than 4 300 tickets, but keep up the good moderating!

I see you’re from Toronto. Do you go to those games in Toronto?

He did go to the last game.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Just fed up of the boycotting

oh boo hoo. Should be more fed up with losing, but some guy choosing to do something else with his money makes you act like a twat to him? As a mod too?

 

[Silencio]

Probably nothing, but…

 

[HSF]

@swiftwin interesting eh

 

[swiftwin]

Did @swiftwin take a break from HFBoards?

Been busy with Christmas stuff, so I've missed the last few games.

 

[slamigo]

4 season tickets in the 300s could be over $10k.
Yeah, let’s ridicule the people spending $10k/year on the team. How are you a mod?

 

[HSF]

I think I actually agree. He is a great year 1-2 rebuild guy if you’ve torn it all down. Keeps the room positive, the players happy and generally does well by the young guys. But he absolutely should have been replaced mid way through 2021 when we were obviously spinning our tires. And yet we’ve had two more seasons of mediocrity.

hes terrible

zero chance anyone is taking him as a head coach anytime soon. Why would you want a coach who can't teach young players how to play during a rebuild? Would you want this guy teach bedard?

 

[Emerica]

Just fed up of the boycotting

awww poor guy. It’ll be ok

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

No idea...but it's a helluva thing to see when you've just spent the past week in a covid brain fog. Starting to wonder if the fevers permanently wiped out too many brain cells.

 

[SENATOR]

7 years from hell from this guy from the bus stop. I understand there is no college system to learn how to coach the major leagues. But it should be. Fundamentals should be there. You need a college degree to teach physical education in Canada in schools, but nothing to be a major league coaches or any minor leagues coach for this matter. There is no personal development for coaches from the league. So if you are stupid enough and spend 7 years as a head coach in NHL and did not develop yourself to at least an average NHL coach, you hold the whole city as a hostage and a billion dollars investors. You need to score at least B in those categories. But better to ace it.

-video coaching and to hire not buddies but talented video coaches
- learn accountability and responsibility
- learn how to implement corrective actions
-do not let players police themselves they do not paid for this - do not relegate responsibilities
-learn how to adjust during games
-learning how to assess the talent
-borrowing the working system from other coaches
-need an intelligence development team at least three assistants
-better physical and conditional development assistants
-white board and video sessions
-learning how to deliver the tough message on every day bases and during the game and how to use corrective actions to the benefit of the team.

Who hired this bum? He possesses nothing of the above!

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I couldn't even bring myself to watch yesterday. Not boycotting, but they've lost me a bit here with the efforts we're seeing. Can't believe it's tankathon season once again.

DJ could end up being remembered as having the worst tenure in Senators history. Pretty safe bet he'll never get another NHL Head Coaching offer.

just report him for trolling..oh wait
