Travis Green next HC of Senators?

[Captain Mountain]

I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert on coaches, but its pretty surprising he's the first of the long list of experienced HC's available to be hired.

 

[Goptor]

ootl, what's so bad about Green ?

He took over the Devils team from Ruff. Got better goaltending from the trade deadline and had healthier players. Managed to have a worse record than Ruff.

Never changed anything with the transition. played the same system that wasn't working well. He was the power play guy all year and after teams adjusted to them past the first 10 games, was league worst. Again, never made adjustments. Just kept throwing out the same thing even after every other team has scouted it and countered it.

amazing news

It’s genuinely frustrating how many f***ing lucky breaks the Devils get as an organization.

 

[Relapsing]

What the f*** did this guy even say in the interview?

I'll do anything you ask me to do.

ANYTHING

 

[Bgav]

Sorry sens fans. Thats depressing.

 

[GKJ]

Oof.

Better off sticking with Jacques Martin

 

[FlameChampion]

Great start for Staios

 

[NyQuil]

I assume he’s buddies with Staios or something.

Joy.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Great start for Staios

Hmm, maybe letting the owner's buddy become GM wasn't the best idea.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Feel bad for sens fans, next year wasted before this seasons over.


Near last place and Tkachuk rumors swirling by christmas guaranteed.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

What the f*** did this guy even say in the interview?

"I have nudes and serious dirt on you."

 

[NyQuil]

Hmm, maybe letting the owner's buddy become GM wasn't the best idea.

“Letting?”

Yeah, you should have overruled the owner.

It’s his team, he can do what he likes.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

They are so finished

Second. Buffalo hired Ruff already. Interesting both NJ coaching candidates go off the board so quick after such a disappointing season

At least Ruff has won recently.

I would rather have Ruff.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Far from who I would pick, but its really funny seeing people delude themselves into thinking they know a) what makes a good coach and b) which guys do or dont have those qualities.

Not saying no one does, but it takes a lot of info and knowledge to actually evaluate. And I have seen some of the most knowledgeable, connected people on these boards say that they aren't qualified to comment.

Travis Green's record speaks for itself.

He's been a disaster in both Vancouver and in Jersey

 

[njdevils1982]

At least Ruff has won recently.

what has he won now?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

what has he won now?

He made the playoffs, which is like beyond what I can imagine hapening to the Sens anytime soon, especially with Travis Green.

 

[HBK27]

what has he won now?

He set the franchise record for points, which is not too shabby for an organization that's been around for 40+ years and won 3 Cups.

Do you realize how superficial that analysis is?

Rick Bowness had an atrocious record in his first decade in the league, so did Martin, Vigneault's stint in Montréal was terrible, Hynes had an awful record in NJ, Cassidy crapped out in year 2 in Washington, Tocchet struggled in Tampa and Arizona...

Happens all the time.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Whom does Green have kompromat on?

 

[Spring in Fialta]

You just knew Steve Staios would be a walking L as a GM when you saw the suit he wore in his official picture.

RIP Sens

You have my condolences
