Lalime saying the 3:15 news conference is the Dorion firing.

 

[JungleBeat]

The day has finally come. Great to see the board unanimously want Dorion gone, I used to be the only one. Mark this day in Sens history

Lalime saying the 3:15 news conference is the Dorion firing.

Always darkest before the dawn fellas.

A new day is coming.

 

[DJB]

This has got to be it for Pierre. Final straw

Lalime saying the 3:15 news conference is the Dorion firing.

A public execution.


Fitting

I should add he didn't say "the streets" or whatever his jargon is.

 

[Senscore]

DJ should probably make his peace with God too

@swiftwin @Ice-Tray @BankStreetParade

what is the spin?

"We were going to lose the pick this year, but all and only thanks to Pierre we get the choice. Thank you Pierre.
With love,
Your sons"

@swiftwin @Ice-Tray @BankStreetParade

what is the spin?

I'm confused. What is there to spin?

 

[BoardsofCanada]

Honestly they should make Dorion publicly apologize for this incident and then resign in disgrace. Firing him is too light a punishment.

Make him squirm on TV.

Speaks volumes about your character

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

we lost a 1st round pick today but it simultaneously feels like one of the greatest days in sens history???

 

[Very Stable Genius]

ROFL

 

[Sun God Nika]

News conference at 3:15, please let him be gone!!!

Oh he gone

 

[Silencio]

I found a copy of the transcript for the 3:15 press conference:

 

[BondraTime]

I hope our banished guys had a hand in it.

It's done, nothing is going to change that, would be fitting that the guys who have been Pierre's fodder had a last laugh together.

 

[Mingus Dew]

Speaks volumes about your character

Mmmm yes certainly.

People should own up to their mistakes. The world would be a better place.

 

[BondraTime]

Make no mistake, the Mann stuff isn't going away from the team either

 

[Mingus Dew]

I'm guessing that will have legal liability rather than competitive consequences.

 

[BondraTime]

I'm guessing that will have legal liability rather than competitive consequences.

Absolutely, that's not a league vs. team issue, it's an employee(s) vs team issue.

 

[PlayOn]

Feels good to be moving on from this era. Just a shitshow every step of the way. Dorion made some bad hockey moves but the worst part of his tenure was just the sheer unprofessionalism.

 

[BondraTime]

Doprion was a 3 dressed up as a 9.

He was never going to succeed in this position.

He's a great scout. That's it.

He was given a role way out of his expertise, and was never going to have prolonged success, or even prolonged mediocrity in that role.

 

[HSF]

Nothing comes to mind…. Does anyone have an example?

Talon missed paperwork for his RFAs and was fired from Chicago

Chyka got fired for getting fined for testing draft players against the CBA

Regardless of his actual ability, he was never given the tools to succeed. You can "develop" management and have them gain experience on the job but you need people around them to insulate their decision-making. This team, under Melnyk, never came close to anything resembling that. Just continuously stripping operations down to the studs until there was no structure left under him. I'm not saying that he would have been a guaranteed success under those circumstances but it's hard to say he could have succeeded in spite of them.

He's also dumb and embarrasses himself 90% of the times he opens his mouth... so there's that. Better co-workers were never changing that.

 

[Senscore]

I wonder if Pierre's agent will drop him
