  1. "A..rdfredsson" Wow, this girl has a NHL network job and doesn't know who Alfie is. Crazy world we live in

  2. Talk about telegraphing a move.
    Hire a former coach as an "advisor" and let him hang around for two weeks and then zip the coach.
    Dysfunctional.

  3. Weā€™re doomedā€¦.

    We re-Hired a Senior Citizen ? to Coachā€¦.

    Heā€™s already collecting his OAS GIS CPP and Benefitā€™s
    Does he wear Attends?
    Seriously weā€™d be better off with Don šŸ’ Cherry..

  4. I dunno if I like this…kinda means u can never fire alfy tho…I mean imagine it don't work out then u have to fire this guy…how the hell do u fire a guy that means that much to them

  5. Hoping things take a turn for the better now. I remember going to a playoff game in 2018 and I'm hoping there will be more playoff games to go to in the future.

  6. The NHL News hate Ottawa , the NHL hates Ottawa. Give us back that 1st round pick. Corey Perry did worst and Chicago shame the NHL with that SEX Scandal

  7. General Manager fired. Head Coach fired. An Assistant Coach fired. So, okay…if, let's say IF, the team doesn't make any substantial improvement in play or the standings for the rest of the season…who now would be left to be blamed? Dare I say, [gasp], the guys who lace up the skates for the team? Or would that be a bridge to far for the crowd who loves scapegoats that can be disposed of easier? Without the ugly & complicated process of Waivers & Releases, you can't fire players I guess (though Pinto has taken a creative alternative route for half-a-season). I'm not hating. I actually hope for the best for Sens. I love a good turnaround story. But I am advising the fanbase the franchise is fast running out of scapegoats. Just sayin'.

  8. As Elliot Friedman's Portfolio manager, for my next Stock pick for him I will tell him to invest in a comb. šŸ¤Ŗ

  9. Pierre Dorian should've been fired after last season and not during this season
    As for DJ Smith, he shouldn't be the coach this season if they knew they were still rebuilding after last season when he replaced Guy Boucher
    This was a too little too late decision in my opinion

  10. 100% the only shock is that it took this long. Any ownership that doesnā€™t believe in accountability in a results based business. RIDICULOUS!!
