Travis Green next HC of Senators?

[Petey O]

Senators.. Come on. Seriously? You can't do better than Green?

Another card carrying member of the obc gets another job without qualifications.

Anyone that gives credit to tho COVID Canucks season to Green needs their heads examined. It was all demko, any time the puck was in the defensive end it was a fire drill with absolutely no system at all. No zone, no manmarking.

Also, if Ottawa has vets or grinders, they will have more ice time than the young stars. Prepare for harmonic to be your ice time leader

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Sorry, Sens bros

 

[HabsQC]

Bob Hartley said on radio that Benoit Groulx signed in Russia mostly because Ottawa made their choice and it wasn't him.

 

[DVision44]

It's strange that he got another position so soon. I suspect he hasn't spend enough time reflecting and learning as an assistant coach that he's learned enough to become an effective coach in his second stint as so often happens.

His main shortcoming is that he doesn't know how to coach defense in his own zone. That's a major, major liability and it's one that the Sens struggled with all this season. Adding Green is not going to help matters.

Funny thing is he claimed he had in his interview after becoming interim coach...

Not only did he have the Devils playing poorly despite having MUCH better goaltending than his predecessor... he made them BORING!!

Good luck Sens fans...

 

[Guttersniped]

Not who I would hire.



There are so many better coaches with connections to Ottawa, including Brind’Amour, Julien, Cassidy, etc.

Poor Claude Julian lives in Navan and was asking for a job lol

If Julian doesn’t get a HC job Staios should give him an Associate Coach gig in Ottawa.

He could help and make Sens fans better at the same time.

Looks like i’ll be spending next season making fun of my own team. Again.

Came here to ask why Julien didn't get a call given that he lived in Ottawa, or at least close.


On Kyrpeos' show he threw out this was a... cheap move, or cheaper than the other options...

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Better them than us

 

[syz]

Nobody is better at recycling than the NHL.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

I just can't support this team in good conscience anymore, what a clown franchise that will NEVER change, or get better.

 

[biturbo19]

I can't fathom why they would do this. Other than to kick their own fanbase while they're already down.

 

[MCR74]

Travis Green...

You'd think Melnyk was still pulling the strings from the grave.

One of the youngest members of the old boys club.

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.

Canucks fans know what Travis Green is about.

His teams played with very little structure and accountability compared to what we've seen under Tocchet.

Anybody who knows hockey can understand what a well-coached team looks like compared to a poorly-coached team regardless of talent.

His unwarranted smug attitude doesn't help either... "I played in the Show so I don't have to explain myself to anyone despite my shit results."

EDIT: Albeit people can learn and improve. Perhaps he's taken the lessons from his previous failures and will be better in Ottawa. Sen bros have suffered enough so I'm hoping this is the case.

 

[Channelcat]

Woodcroft, who is available, is at least 10x the coach of Travis Green.

Woody needs to grow a beard so people can take him seriously.

 

[EpochLink]

If there is one coach who would've done wonders with the Senators, it would've been Alain Vigneault.

But he retired so that option is out the window.

Green will fit right in.

 

[swiftwin]

I will say in fairness to Green, his first two losing seasons were with rebuilding Canucks teams.

Nobody ever said that in fairness to DJ Smith

 

[dez]

TANK IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!

 

[cc]

Maybe an ideal coach... If the goal was to perennially underachieve for a better draft pick

I think he must be fantastic during interviews

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I will say in fairness to Green, his first two losing seasons were with the inadvertently rebuilding Canucks teams.

FTFY

Your edit is exactly my point. We can evaluate past results but using them to authoritatively predict the future is a fools game. The players are different, his bosses will be different, his staff will be different… maybe just maybe his approach and/or results will be, too.

The Sens are likely headed to the basement with this hire. That franchise almost doesn't do anything right. I mean, Gallant is the better option at this point for the Sens.

They just got out of their Travis Green phase with DJ, and now they want more?
