im happy brady is mad… why dont you play for your coach if you think he's not an issue…
you're obviously not playing for your coach , you're letting in 6 goals… stutzle looks so fk'in lost out there
We’re not booing for lack of effort. We’re booing for lack of results. This isn’t the “try hard” league. This is the get it done league. And so far you’ve dropped the past 4 in front of your home fans. Stop falling down on the ice and smarten up.
removing DJ as the Head coach is a must but he's definitly a good person to have in place as a development coach
FIRE DJ SMITH. why did kleven/manti only play 7 fucking minutes. this dude overworked chabby into a fragile form of who he used to be. writings on the wall with sanderson
Brady are you serious???? There hasn't been constant booing. They were saying fire DJ. We love you Brady, brush it off we will always be here. DJ gotta go tho bro
DJ needs to go!
Don’t understand our fans that don’t like chuckys comments. Feel like everyone just listened to his first sentence and then raged. You know that guy just raised his blood pressure to deadly rhythms for you and then you boo him. Yeah, he’s pissed but listen to him explain. One of the better captains in the league and still growing
I say play the year out see what happens. No use firing the coach with this many injuries.
Come trade deadline if were out start restocking the cupboard a bit.
Trade tank for picks. Sandy is going to eat up that money when his contract kicks in next year.
Were probably going to have to trade one of the 8 million dollar core (Norris or Chabot).
Dead cap will come off next year as well (Ryan, Murray and Delzotto).
Fans are trash this season
It's not you😂? Other coaches don't insist on killing their team's offense every game by dumping and chasing…. dj out
Whats frustrating is when you see the players condone a coaching style of dump and chase that only works in peewee and has no place in the nhl… the problem is its too simple the playing style and that starts with the coach
Also im tired of sens fans excusing the poor play because of injuries… even with the injuries, we still have more talent offensively and defensively than a team like detroit yet we are still losing. Vigneault in DJ out
No structure. All over the place in the defensive zone. Stutzle trying to do way too much constantly turning the puck over. Dump and chase isnt working. They have talented players, they dont need to be dumping and chasing. Injuries arent helping. The GM mishandling the salary cap. This organization is a disaster right now, sadly.
Same old crap, same old excuses, same old no system, no effort, terrible on ice product. Everyone knows what needs to happen. Well except for the team apparently and ownership. I'm so happy I didn't invest any money or time watching these guys this year. I knew exactly what was going to happen and here we are, right where I predicted. It couldn't be any more transparent. They're going to lose a lot more fans if they don't start putting a competent coach behind the bench and on ice product. It's really that simple. We are sick of the mediocrity, sick of the clichés, sick of the excuses. Just perform and earn your contracts.
The core of the defense is out with injury, lost two forwards to injury, playing against top teams with full roster is tough when 1/3 of your roster are players brought up from the minors. Any other team in the league would be struggling as well under this adversity. To the fans out there, don't give up on this team, they are exiting to watch.
They say they work hard but they don't work smart…
DJ continues to pass all the blame on the players. And the boos were for you DJ not the players. We’re the fire DJ chant for the players to? Just unreal. unless Staios hires a new coach like right away, we will be no where near making the playoffs. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to see that DJ is over his head, why is that so hard to see?????
The sens need an experienced coach like Claude Julien to teach defensive hockey. Watch the kings how they clog up the neutral zone.
Brady and Timmy are just punks that know nothing about coaching.
The truth is that don’t want a coaching change because they don’t want someone that they can’t run by the nose like they do DJ. They want to be able to dictate to their coach and DJ just bends over for them. All fine but don’t expect your team to make the playoffs Brady.
DJ is like a cassette tape on repeat. Never takes responsibility and blades the team. #FireDJ
