This Sens team has been a HUGE disappointment, and things need to CHANGE. What are YOUR thoughts on this 8-9 Ottawa team? What changes do YOU think they need to make? Trade? Coach Firings? I'd LOVE to hear YOUR thoughts! #GravGang #RoadTo75kSUBS
Disgraceful game. Stopped watching when it was 1-0 because the sens sucked so damn bad. Dj out we should have fired him before Sweden. Wtf is management waiting for? It can't get any worse!!!
Although I agree that DJ Smith is a problem, in my view, The GM is The Bigger Problem. In getting Alex DeBrincat from My Chicago Blackhawks & to send him to Detroit is like Marc Andre Fleury to Chicago for a Minor League Player, only to see Chicago get something in sending Fleury to Minnesota. Let me know what you think & if you agree with the analogy. Great Video, Nathan, as always
50% on the PK in the last 2 games. Forgot to mention this team is killing my will to watch them
They need a whole new coaching staff
Not impressed with the new management so far.
So tired of hearing about this team. All hype in the off-season, then once the season starts they falter. Seems like they can be pushed around easily, the last game against the Panthers is just another example.
Crazy how the Ottawa, Buffalo has been in a rebuild for such a long time it seems like, while Detroit just made massive moves and Signed Patty Kane, it's wild that just since 2019 Yzerman has turned that franchise around enough to the point where they are breaking away from the Atlantic pack of teams that are in "rebuild mode".
You brought up some valid points. I agree that they should've been better this year.
Trading Debrincat was a horrible idea, which for some reason everyone applauded them for doing it.
Corey perry's available
Contracts were too expensive to be in 8th spot. They haven't gone on their road trips yet, Sweden isn't counted as a road trip. We'll see how western US and western Canada road trips treat them.
So tired of dj smith hockey 🙁
DJ probably kept his job because everyone was distracted by the senators ownership thing
As a Red Wings fan, I'm fine with where they're at.
Their special teams especially seemed totally lost last night
The Sens are no longer in rebuilding mode. All their kids have their big money. It is time for them to deliver.
The funny thing is the only people that don't think they need changes is the senators
Finally somebody has agreed with me that DJ Smith should be fired which I totally agree with you. It should’ve happened last offseason
We’re shite. I think that pretty much sums it up.
Patrick Roy as coach ?
DJ will get fired, Patrick Roy will coach them and by this time next season DJ will be coaching the spits
I wonder if the 2 wins in Sweden bought him some time? Anyway, we're in a ridiculous situation
Remember when everyone thought the sens and buffalo were going to be better than the wings? What a joke
Yeahhh, absolutely agree with every point you mentioned here, Nathan. Getting tired of the excuses of “bad bounces” or “we weren’t ready to play”. You should ALWAYS get your players ready before the game starts and play a solid, consistent 60-minute game of hockey.
Listen, even if they lost but gave it their all, I wouldn’t sweat it, all teams go through it, right? However, when the team gets flat out embarrassed like that, and at home ice to boot, something’s gotta give.
I have given plenty of rope to DJ being the guy to coach this team to make the playoffs, but this has gotta stop. What he is doing is not working and it feels like it’ll be a wasted season (again!) if upper management doesn’t do something and soon.
Thanks for letting Cam Talbot go, Ottawa 🙂 we’re very happy with him.
Analytically their finishing is actually really good. That’s the scary part. If their shooting percentage was average they would be even more trash. Please get this guy out of here
Ottawa doesn’t need anything. They need a miracle
Problem is Staios and Andlauer wanted to keep Dorion so they could have the "two-headed monster" of a GM and a PHO. Now the GM is gone and you don't hire the coach before the GM. Plus everyone loves DJ and the Oshawa Generals' owner is now part of the Sens ownership group which can only benefit him.
They tried bringing in support by adding Ben Sexton and Alfie to the coaching staff so its not like they've done nothing, but they need to hire a GM before making more substantial changes.
I really don’t want DJ as the coach we simply can’t win with his “plan” and style, but we haven’t fired him yet because our owner wants to do things right and not hire a coach that will only be where for a year. I think we just need something besides DJ personally I think he should have been fired in 2022, we also need to acquire a solid middle 6 2 way forward and a defensive defensmen if we are still going by DJ plan.
totally agree
The reason Smith hasn't been fired?
No one wants to work an interim job at this team.
It's even more baffling that DJ said today that Monday's game vs Florida WASN'T rock bottom
We should’ve lost the 2 games in Sweden completely fluke wins. Blew a 4-0 lead and barely won in it. And vs wild it was a fluke tie goal from branny. This team will never take the next step until “best in class” owner andlauer and gm staios make a coaching change
DJ may be a good guy to have a beer with, but he sucks as a coach..
Sens fans have wanted DJ gone for the past 2 – 3 years, it’s mind blowing how he’s been able to linger in the capital for this long, especially when there have been much better coaches fired for much less.
I over-estimated I told Sens fans they would be quiet by Christmas. LOL
My impression is that the management is waiting until the off-season to hire the new general manager, who choose the head coach.
They really need a true top RD. Instead they signed Tarasenko and overpaid Zub… Maybe they should trade Tarasenko for a defenseman and hire a new coach?
I wonder with who DJ sleeps in magement groupe in Ottawa Senators but he neds to be fired ASAP
There just like Edmonton and Buffalo teams that have fed from the bottom last 20 years wasting great talent
Right now if I’m Ottawa I’m looking at Woodcroft and Evason being free agent Coaches and thinking why the hell do I still have DJ smith? Both those guys have proven that they are great coaches and can get the best out of people, this year for them just got shit outta luck with crappy teams given to em, y not take a chance on one of these guys for rest of the year and see what they can do with what’s provided?
Sens fan here. I'm at that point in which I don't believe we have the intestinal fortitude to win against ANY team. Same shit every season. DJ needed to go eons ago.
