Management Travis Green [Head Coach]

[aragorn]

Agree with all what you say and he’s our teams Best player, but he could be a HOF player and not just a player with a great career.

To me there’s another level there, a ceiling like a Messier / Iginla / Forsberg. At the same age Alfie was Captain for 1 year and had already made the playoffs 4 times and his team would do onto make the playoffs 7 straight more years.

Brady is only 24 yrs old, I think when it's all said & done he will have a HOF career given he stays healthy. Let's be honest, Alfredsson had a much better team at the time when he became captain which I think was a little later 26/27 I think. This team could be in the same position given I think they are trending up slowly, but hopefully surely. Don't call me Shirley.

You certainly are earnest!

Travis was over at the World's and met with Senator players that were playing in the tournament.

Brady just way to easy to game plan against and single out and make infective. The bigger the game the more narrow his focus gets and the easier it is to put a 6th Dman or a 3rd liner on him all night and Brady fights back and spends his night engaged with a lesser skilled opponent and keeping his focus on who’s got a bigger schvantz instead of who’s winning and making their teammates better.

You would think that Claude Giroux would take Brady aside and explain these fundamentals to him.

 

[GCK]

Senators don’t need more Brady’s, they need Brady to be better. Brady is not a perfect player, love him, but he has so Much room to grow and grow into making those around him better. Especially when it’s big games, his focus goes into one up manship instead of winning - Brady is the little brother if he wins the fight he thinks he’s won the war.

Travis Green needs to make Brady a General not an MMA fighter

Terrible take. Brady is by far, along with Sanderson, the least of the problems on this team. If the current Brady was an issue, we’d have a great team that we’d wonder how to get over the final hump. Dorion built a faulty roster, that’s the issue. Staios will begin fixing the issues this off season and hopefully it’s enough to sneak into the playoffs.

Former NHL head coach Mike Yeo a candidate for Senators post

There has been speculation he's also on the radar screen to be part of Craig Berube's staff with the Maple Leafs

Don't hate this idea.... if he comes on board... these players will think JM was a softy when it came to playing defense

I like it, Yeo was a pretty decent head coach,

 

[DJB]

I really like the idea of Yeo. Having a guy with lots of HC experience I think is good

 

[Tuna99]

Yeah but can he show up to practice and pull a 12 inch coldcut sub dripping with Oil out of his pants and just eat that sub right in front of the team?

Because Jack Capuano can!

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Yeo and Berube have (coaching) history together … and Yeo left Vancouver because he wanted to pursue an opportunity closer to home…. Yeah he’s from Toronto…..

I agree all this talk about Brady is red herring, the real problem of this team is goaltending period. Do we need to improve our depth? yes but it's not gonna matter if we don't have better goaltending.

Don’t we fans think was a planned culture chnage by Staois and Poulin - up until DJ got fired we never saw the players uncomfortable or with full ownership of their play on the ice, DJ was an excuse machine and Brady’s team acted like they were on a 10 year playoff run and their egos were championship size - they were not a humble group, they were entitled and arrogant and losing

To me when JM was brought in he made the players uncomfortable to see who the leaders were and who was ready to play 2 way winning hockey. I think some players responded right away (Pinto, Sandy, Bath) and others took some time to realize the emperor had no clothes (Stu, Chych, Brady) and this to me is all about learning the players, the players maturing and management lowering Expectations to “Brady and Claude, you guys are leading a bad team with bad habits and bad culture and you 2 need to fix it”

I liked that the players were unhappy. It made no sense it was grad night every night in the Sens locker room when they were on a 7 year run of shit hockey

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I’d rather Gruden over Yeo.

I’d rather Gruden over Yeo.

maybe Green will go with Baumgartner to coach the D?

Sounds like a lot of speculation to me

Sounds like a lot of speculation to me

so when JM went to a microphone and said “you got outplayed by the oldest player on the team, how can you be outplayed by a guy who’s 36?” - was that to make Brady feel good or to challenge him and make him uncomfortable and done to the media to call him out?

lets see it then

lets see it then

“Our mental state has to change,” Martin told TSN 1200’s Gord Wilson . “We have to want to pay the price and bring it every night. It can’t be one game on, one game off.”

“When your best player is a 36-year-old (Claude Giroux), a lot of guys should look in the mirror. We have to give more on a regular basis. It’s not one period, it’s not one game. We need to learn to compete hard every night.”

“We win one game, then we revert back to where the team was before,” Martin said. “They have to decide what they want to be. It’s not like there are a lot of first-year kids on this team, they’ve been here. You get to a point in your season or your career where you can’t look at excuses anymore, you have to look at yourself.

“It was a lesson learned about how hard you have to compete, how hard you have to play”

Still a lot of speculation on your end.

Anyone who has ever played organized sports knows that you don't always get along with everyone on your team & shit happens sometimes between teammates. Most of the time you can get past certain instances, but sometimes teammates move on because of it, it's the nature of sports. Nothing in this world is kumbaya.

Team defensive play is also a cause for that GA/G stat!

I’d rather Gruden over Yeo.

Why? Pros and cons of each?

 

[aragorn]

Yes, wishful thinking, there are 31 teams in the NHL that would give up their next three 1st rd picks for a big tough premier dominant powerforward who can produce a ton of pts.

there is a fantastic documentary on the 1977-1978 LA Dodgers-NY Yankees seasons.

The Yankees appeared to be the dysfunctional family. Steinbrenner, Billie Martin (Who it was sadly revealed was a racist). Were perceived to be the enfant terrible. In reality they were united. At the players end. They actually got along. And on one occasion went to the owner, to have Reggie Jackson installed in the cleanup spot.

The Dodgers, were seen as pure as Christmas snow. In reality, they could not stand each other and fought. Their golden child, Steve Garvey, and his porcelain doll wife, were terribly disliked.

In both 1977 and 1978 the Yankees beat the Dodgers.

The Dodgers would rebound and win the world series in 1981, and ironically enough, against the Yankees. (Montreal fans will remember Blue Monday). By then players had moved on and those that were still there, had changes in their lives.

Locker room harmony is delicate.
