Hear from President of Hockey Operations and GM Steve Staios as he provides updates on the state of the Ottawa Senators at the midway point of the season and the short term and long term objectives of the team.
We aren't an amazing team. We are most definitely NOT going to playoffs, but with the moms coming to games, weve been brought good luck!! (Btw why does nobody talk about Alfie??)
18 wins on the season and we're talking about having a wish list for a coach? we are not good enough to be making those type of demands. Get a coach in here who's experienced, is a leader of men, and knows how to win and inspire his players.
Are we now going to find ways to celebrate Jacques and AlFredo for a 7 and 10 record? Who posed the 1st question…right on que? It's embarrassing. I think this Team has AMAZING potential. With Pinto back and Prince healthy, a coach can now confidently roll 3 very talented lines that can score goals. With some big fellas that can skate and keep the opposition honest on the 4th line, the forwards will not be an issue. So please keafe the "core" alone. They're skilled, love and want the puck AND they can score. PUCK POSSESSION is the best defence. Most of the year this Team was in the top 10 in Goals Scored but bottom 10 in Goals Against. Perhaps some of that maybe due to "irresponsibility" but I suspect the 3 goalies sporting under .890 Sv% is a major contributor; 2 are .896 or thereabouts and 1 sports an .818. Was the Team great in Montreal? Indeed they were, the Team is blessed with lots of talent, but, the goalie posted a .937 Sv% on 27 shots. Don't listen to people like "Yorkie" who wants to trade Stud-zle for Lefreniere. Inspite of what some of these so-called experts say, keep Chyk! At 5meg, he's a steal. Use guys like Mathew Joseph PROPERLY…he's magic with Vlad and this kid has headt, drive, passion and he can skate! He's tied with Norris in point production, having played less games and sports fat +8! Vlad is 5th on the Team with 31pts and is a gaudy +17!!! You are very fortunate Steve, there osn't a lot of "heavy lifting" required. Find a great head Coach, trust him to find his support then get to work on shoring up the holes on the backend and between the Pipes. For the first time since '07, I'm really excited about this bunch. Anybody can have a Team play defencively but a real Coach will leverage the skill. When I saw the Sens hanging back and giving half the ice away I got sick and shut tge TV off. The Seasons gone, let's see what the kids can do in the games remaining. You can teach defencive play but you can't teach someone how to score goals.

Need to CC the questions , have no idea what half of them are asking 😡. Why is there record so bad🤔. Power play is 💩,goaltending is💩penalty kill is 💩
Bring in Joel Quenneville as Head Coach and you will have a winning team.
Keep Alfie as an assistant, replace Capuano.
According to new Islanders head coach Patrick Roy, the Senators could have had him as their head coach.
Staois has a most difficult task as the new president and GM.
Garbage franchise.
PLEASE KEEP CHYCHRUN! dude is a great player!
They will get a coach with no experience. Missed out on Roy.
Team is making slow, but steady and clear improvements under Jacques and Alfie.
Asking a GM about a new arena then following up with a question about Formenton? Brutal reporting
This franchise is stuck in the mud and can't get out of it's own way. We're so behind the league in terms of being a championship caliber team
