damn what a letdown….feels like when we thought Boudreau was coming here but we got Boucher instead (I guess it worked out that first year)

 

[Senscore]

Welcome to this thread, posters of the future.


Yes, this was a bad idea at the time.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Remember a week ago when we were discussing whether McLellan or Evason would be an acceptable fit if we missed out on Berube?

I remember.

 

[Matsens15]

I thought Jacques Martin said we need an experience coach? I don’t get it..

 

[bicboi64]

I'll take McLellan's boring ass hockey any day over whatever tf Green brings. We're going to be the same dump and chase team we were during the early years of the rebuild.

Honestly, this is a good expectation reset for fans.

The other week a few buddies of mine were talking about the possible return in a Chychrun deal. They were throwing around names of young top 6 wingers or RS defensemen.

Guys! It's going to be a 2nd rounder!

4 year deal

f*** f*** f*** f***

 

[Senator Stanley]

What is with the writing in this press release?

"Green has experience leading a young core like the Senators’ including his 2020 playoff run boasting a 10-7 record with one of the youngest rosters in the league en route to the Western Conference Semi-Finals where they took the Vegas Golden Knights to the breaking point in game seven before their run came to an end."

Followed by:

"Most recently Green served as the interim head coach of the New Jersey Devils where he amassed an 8-20-1 record over the final 21 games of this season after they had relinquished Lindy Ruff of his head coaching duties."

Is this a professional organization? ChatGPT writes better than this.

I'm willing to give Greener a chance.

 

[Dan Patrick]

The secret is to set your expectations so low that anything more than a continuing disaster exceeds them!

 

[Relapsing]

Well colour me surprised.

Two notable excerpts from the press release:

Travis Green has been named the next head coach in franchise history, a title he will hold through the end of the 2027-28 NHL season.

Is that a 4 YEAR CONTRACT?!?! WTF!

“After speaking to several highly qualified candidates, it became clear that Travis is the right fit to lead our group,” said Staios. “As we’ve routinely stated, developing a winning culture is paramount to our aspiration of achieving sustained success. Travis has a burning desire to win, is passionate about teaching and holds his players to a very high standard. We’re excited to welcome he and his family to the Ottawa-Gatineau community.”

Did someone forget to tell Staios that the loss column is the second, not the first, stat you see when looking at W-L-T records?

"...a title he will hold through the end of the 2027-28 NHL season."

Yeah. Sure he will.

I like how they couldn't even gussy it up. Just had to include those losing records for the Nucks and Devils in there.

f*** f*** f*** f***

How does this greasy loser motherf***er get a four year deal???

You missed the best part, the title. "Got our guy"

Bruce has a side hustle as the team copywriter.

With a record like his, Green is a coach you give a 1-2 year show me deal. Extend him afterwards if he earns it.

But 4 years right off the hop?

Why? I just don't get it. It makes zero sense to me.

Every part of it screams amateur hour.

If he sucks they will fire him like every other NHL org fires their coaches, sometimes before their deal even kicks in. Does it really matter?

There are very few coaches I would give a four year deal to without having actually coached the team first.

Green sure as hell isn't one of them.

I get the sense we don't have the extra cash to burn on frivolous shit like Travis Green

I like 8-20-1 in 21 games. The math isn’t mathing

Andlauer promised best in class, gave us GM Staios who gave us Head Coach Travis Green.

As a Sens fan, I hope it works out. But I can definitively say that Travis Green is FAR from the best in class coach available now (there isn't a shortage of quality coaches in free agency). The track record doesn't jive with what Staios is being quoted.

Just feels like we have hired a DJ Smith type coach wrt track record/pedigree if not style, but would be very happy to be proven wrong.

He also gave us a press release that reads as if it was written by Pierre Dorion.

"Best in class" is the new "five years of unparalleled success".

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Guess we're doomed to remain a second-rate org with budget hires no matter what. Enthusiasm for next season is at zero right now.
