News Article: Sens Badmouthing Coaching - Video

[Sens of Anarchy]

The coaching staff being ridiculed is still in place because Eugene Melnyk is too cheap to pay them and hire new coaches.

Agree or disagree?

no comment ... IMO this thread has nothing to do with Melnyk

Vigneault?

Lmao pyatt might get double the play time. That’s the guy who played tanner glass constantly

Dude it’s clearly Wideman’s fault. That guy is a bad apple you hear me. Let’s trade him so we can fix the room.

Oh I know about Wideman and have posted wrt that in the past. But every player in the league talks shop, it's just that they got recorded without their knowledge in this case.

The borderline indifference from these players bothers me. Duchene appears to be checked out (not paying attention to coaches), likely playing for his next big contract wherever else it happens to be.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

That would be the one i was thinking but from what ot says around him, he seems the same type of vetetan player's coach.

But at least, he had success. Almost always bring his team to the playoff. Went to the cup.

Stevens would be good .. but I don't think Boucher gets the axe over this

 

[Take a Bath Son]

I feel bad for the coach getting roasted here. Argue his performance and the performance of the coaching staff all you want but he's still a guy just trying to do his job. Must be a kick in the nuts to be publically disrespected by a bunch of kids like this.

I get that the conversation was meant to be kept private (and the driver is a massive POS for releasing this at all) but professional athletes can be more respectful to their coaches even if they don't agree with what they're selling.

I dunno, maybe it's just me but even if the crap they're saying about Raymond is true and he's not a good coach I don't think anybody deserves that. Very immature behavior from the players.

Overall this is just bad for everybody involved.

Totally agree.

completely unprofessional attitude. Nobody should take a multi million salary and display that level of indifference to performance while shifting blame for the results on ice.

Is someone actively trying to set this team up for negative publicity?

This sort of says to me that we've blown up the team but we need to do it again.

 

[BondraTime]

Absolutely perfect

 

[solidprospect]

There was a players only meeting?

Senators hold players-only meeting after Lightning complete 4-3 OT comeback

What Duchene says in this is him just shooting the breeze .., If he needs to pay attention he will, if its the same x and os all the time .., how much attention do you need to pay

Thing is duchene has started off strong. Same with tierney chabot AND white. So how important is this “team meeting” lol

The thread is about the players trashing a coaching staff that led them to 30th in the NHL, was publicly called out by the GM, but was returned intact.

The responsibility for that lies at the feet of our POS owner. You are too honest to disagree with the theory, but fail to admit that it all circles back to the same root problem.

It’s hilarious that the players are like “the coaches never change anything”. And here for 2.5 years weve been like “we don’t change anything” and we’ve been ridiculed about not knowing hockey becuase Boucher is actually brilliant hahaha. Man. This is validation if I’ve ever felt it.

Yeah I was being sarcastic. I think the problems run deeper than one player (or even one group of players).

[Pierre from Orleans]

A van filled with Boro, Pyatt and Ceci would hold a different convo I'd bet.

Absolutely. Starts from the top down

 

[Sensung]

Is someone actively trying to set this team up for negative publicity?

The salient question.

IMO yes. Far too many instances in the past year.

Follow the money seems like good advice in this type of situation.

 

[slamigo]

People criticizing the players are out of their minds.
The GM should be glad that this came out because it’s true. This is how that coach is viewed. It cannot be ignored. How else would Dorion get honest feedback?
No more pretending. Get real coaches.
Folks wondered why Stone’s parents called Ottawa a real shit show? It’s because the team isn’t run properly and the coaching staff is clueless.

 

[sens13]

someone should ask dorion/boucher about this. lol. but seriously. the locker room is going to be quiet.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

A van filled with Boro, Pyatt and Ceci would hold a different convo I'd bet.

What do they have to complain about. They’ve never been held accountable for anything for their entire time with the Sens. They should be kissing the ground dorion and Boucher walk on

 

[Viletho]

It would be something like.. I like that we get caved in our zone.. it's good for TOI.

Thd uber guy : But, are you not allowing a lot of shot doing so.

Boro : as our coach are telling us, we are playing good d if we keep iy to the outside !

 

[Viletho]

That's his point i think.

They would be Pro coach.

 

[Stylizer1]

Maybe it's time to invest in a well paid coach.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Yo does one of them say “our trap doesn’t even work”. Lmfao. Yeah no shit we give up 80 shots a game

 

[Viletho]

That's his point i think.

They would be Pro coach.

Well maybe Ceci would complaint about having to play that role of shutdown dman

Oops, i meant to Edit.. lol
