Mendes just tweeted that Jacques Martin will be the guest this week. Should be a good interview.
Mendes has JM on his Mount Rushmore which is hard to argue with, he provided stability and focus for a young team that needed to improve, and every player in Ottawa improved under him. Ottawa was in every game he coached.
As fa as organizational reputation, Brian McGratton is one that might deserve to be up there. Before Big BM went right down main street on Domi's face Ottawa had a reputation as a team of pushovers and soft euros, after that fight that all ended instantly, that talked evaporated. Probably no play in Sens history turned the league wide reputation of the team around more then seeing Domi going backwards from BM's punches. It changed everything.
