Senators fire Pierre Dorion

[LOFIN]

The STREETS were right...

Remember, respect the streets.

I could see someone close that was GM or got close to MTL get the job. Bergevin? Darche? Mellanby? Roy?

 

[joestevens29]

Seems like he should've been fired before all this crap came out in the last week. Like really if the league wouldn't have taken a pick away from them, he would've been safe? Doubt it.

 

[Hullois]

Ottawa is such a shitshow of a franchise lol

 

[Mogo]

It just keeps getting worse for Ottawa

 

[Rafafouille]

Roy, GM or coach doesn't matter, just do it.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ottawa is such a shitshow of a franchise lol

Dorion's job was a ticking timebomb the second Andlauer closed the sale on the team.

And I think Dorion's loyalty to DJ Smith might be a bigger factor at the end of the day than this 1st rounder.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Zibanejad lol

Ahaha, that was a good one too.

 

[Kevin Musto]

 

[SpezDispenser]

It's crazy he gets fired only a year after the legendary summer of Pierre where he could do no wrong

Things change fast in Ottawa

Competent ownership you mean?

 

[Rob Brown]

Fall of Pierre

Ok this was good.

 

[Zynbanejad]

How do fans feel about losing the 1st round pick now?

To be honest, if Chiarelli takes over I would close all bridges around Ottawa. A fanbase can only take so much torment.

Out of the loop, how did they lose a pick?

 

[Empoleon8771]

I like how it took a loss of a 1st rounder for him to be fired, not his atrocious performance as GM.

Man constructed the greatest top 9 in the history of the NHL and gets canned, shame.

It's pretty damn good. Need a new coach too, because a team with that much talent in the top 9 should be much better.

 

[StickShift]

It seems to me that Ottawa didn’t keep pace with Detroit or Buffalo’s rebuild. The bets he made to help the team be more competitive sooner haven’t really worked out.

The die was probably cast the moment ownership changed.

 

[oXo Cube]

Ottawa is such a shitshow of a franchise lol

Well if this is true, wouldn't canning the guy in charge be the first step to the solution?

Of course it remains to be seen if they will actually drain the swamp or just hire Chiarelli and add some more sludge.

 

[petterdaddy]

If they did this just to promote Chiarelli, Sens fans are gonna collectively have an aneurysm

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

ANNOUNCE CHIARELLI YOU COWARDS

 

[wonton15]

Chiarelli for GM
Benning for AGM

Travis Green for head coach

 

[Chainshot]

The Sens will also be docked a draft pick for the cleaning after this incident.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Drafted well. If the Senators have success in the future, his finger prints will be on that. That said, that much of the trades and professional scouting were abysmal, to the point where it was genuinely baffling how he could be so good at one evaluation, and so stunningly bad at another. Whatever one thinks of the fairness or unfairness of losing the first rounder, it was an own goal and not having his own shit in order. All in all, the right move, and good (for the organization anyways) that there's now ownership with confidence, finances, and resources to make moves when they're needed.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I'm sure he did some good things but always kind of seemed like one blunder after another for Pierre to me.

surprised he even lasted this long

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Congrats Sens fans, he seemed to have a pretty good strategic mind but man the circus just could not stop following him, wishing the best for you guys going forward from here

Fall of Pierre

quoting for posterity because this was f***in gold
