MM can't fire him, he will have no one to blame at the end of the year if he takes over and the team still falters.

We were saying the same thing last weekend!imagine destroying your next 2/3 seasons to go all in this year and then missing the playoffs lmao. What a disaster of a season thus far. Hard to imagine coach has a job after this weekend
Stay tunedThat may have been the worst game I have ever seen.

Dennis is the one with the "big resume" that MM bought into. Lets see if he is for real. Calling Cinderella. Worse to first starting tomorrow.
Oshawa needed a coach and actually hired one with success at this level.If I get my Christmas wish you can interview Ted Dent for the HC or GM position on Monday evening. Good luck!
What prospect is going to want to come here after watching that game on TSN?
"Our defensive coverage was actually really good. Only 20 shots on net for them" Big yikes. We're doomed.
Teams must love playing Kitchener. They have no structure to their play and they are so soft. There are no players who play tough and have heart. Well Zidlicky did but they traded him for a few middle draft picks. Andonovski plays with some fire now but he may be the only one. Valade does too but isn’t physical or a fighter.
They need a new scouting staff who look for some kids who have fire to their game.
Yah guys stop just saying bad coach is why this team loaded with talent is drastically underperforming
London will be about 15-0 TuesdayStay tuned
That was my point above on coach hires. Oshawa hired a guy with a resume. That resume cost Oshawa $$$.Just google Derek Laxdal. Oshawa looks at resumes and experience when hiring a coach. Look at his hockey career. Look at coaching. He didn't magically appear with a cape on holding a video camera. He wasn't hired because his father was a celebrity and sold Bobby Margaritas . Wonder if the powers that be will call in all the "directors" today. They will have an "on ice" discussion and most will have on rubber boots because they don't have the ability to lace on a pair of skates because they never played the game. Great job if you can get in. Get to smooze NHL scouts and coaches in the media room. Free coffee, fancy little funeral sandwiches and donuts all paid for by STH. They are running an OHL franchise. My son text me last night and said the Rangers look like the team the Harlem Globetrotters play against in every city. Sad situation. Eight 16 and 17 year old players and a goalie with one win. No drafted players. Yet Oshawa comes in and runs over an experienced older team.
Rangers scouts are the Stepford Wives of the OHL. Cookie cutter mentality. They want players with no "character" here. God help one of them if they ever embarrassed the franchise by staying out passed curfew and the press finds out. I feel sorry for the players they brought in from other teams. Word gets around in hockey circles fast. Now you get to watch this travesty on National TV.Dennis is obviously not capable of doing the job. That much is painfully obvious. I have to wonder how much of it is cultural at this point though? For years now, they all do and say the same things. Just trot out the same message and plan and watch it fail.
Zero standards, zero accountability, zero adaptation, zero emotion, zero fire and intensity, etc. if ever there was a game to come out like a house on fire, it was this one. But they had more intensity in warmups.
The culture here has made us a laughing stock in the league.
Before the game the TV guys are going on about the huge crowds at the Aud. Most CHL franchises would love to have this every Friday night. The issue here is as long as it continues nothing has to change. 7 thousand butts in the seats at the Aud can't be wrong.That was my point above on coach hires. Oshawa hired a guy with a resume. That resume cost Oshawa $$$.
In Kitchener, we don’t hire the best available. We hire the guy with the best resume who’ll do the job at a certain salary.
This is one of the richest organizations in the CHL. They should be sparing no expense.
During the pre-game, Pope called the Ranger’s top nine the best top nine in the league. He’d put this team up against any team in the league.Looks like Pope got his hands slapped by the Rangers for his post game comments . Tow the company line Chris.
This tells me Dennis isn't going anywhere,
Yeah, they called it the mini Maple Leaf Gardens. Just like the Leafs in the Ballard era, we get big crowds here no matter the product on the ice.Before the game the TV guys are going on about the huge crowds at the Aud.

I don't care about Fishman or Serpa. Serpa's just an average at best OA, Fishman is fast but weak and easily pushed around. Zidlicky would be nice for next year.I want Fishman, Serpa, Zidlicky, and all the picks back.
You may get your wish.
