Confirmed with Link: Sens Dismiss MacLean, Cameron named full-time replacement

[Shanny]

Wow, Dan Bylsma now please.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Unless they have someone already lined up, really do not like this move at all.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Interim coach: Eugene Melnyk

 

[Super Cake]

Wow.

Did not expect that at all honestly.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Too cheap to afford Guy Boucher.

 

[TeamRenzo]

That is BS!

Awful move and terrible timing

 

[otown]

The "d" problems have been a problem since last year and no significant improvement have taken place. Coaching problem or player problem?

 

[Icelevel]

so it was too painful to ride it out this year and make a real change at the end?

now we will have an interim and then (if it's cameron we better have a change!) have another switch at then end of the year?

 

[HavlatMach9]

if we get a legitimate coach in there, it'll make it clear whether the roster is at fault (as far as playoffs aspiration goes) or the coaching and play

 

[Mcnofool6110]

We can give you guys Eakins!!!

!!!!

!!!!!

Thought he was doing an alright job - game last night was entertaining. Seemed like a nice guy too. Was he not on either front?

 

[Proust*]

This has Melnyk written all over it.

 

[Silvercup Returns]

Long live the Walrus

 

[Johnny Hanson]

If Dave Cameron takes over I'll lose it

 

[Rals]

This is ********.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Cameron at the helm has to be indicative of the fact that we've already given up on this season, no?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

If Cameron is indeed interm then I believe management didn't like the character win last night and wants the team to tank.

Only explanation.

HATW beat me to it.

 

[Icelevel]

If Dave Cameron takes over I'll lose it

make sure you're sitting down the next couple hours then and strap yourself in

 

[Gil Gunderson]

If Dave Cameron takes over I'll lose it

Bad news for you.

 

[SixthSens]

Really, really surprised with the timing of Mac's dismissal.

Maybe this quote had something to do with it:

"All I know is I'm scared to death no matter who we're playing," MacLean said before Saturday's game when TSN's Chris Cuthbert asked if he'd be more worried facing a hot or cold Sidney Crosby. "Whether it's Sidney Crosby or John Tavares or the Sedins, I go day-by-day and I'm just scared to death every day of who we're playing.

"And sometimes," MacLean added. "I'm scared to death of who I'm playing."

 

[King EK65]

Wow. It was fun, will miss him for sure.

 

[OttawaOilers]

*&^%$#@ melnyk.......................

 

[YNWA14]

The tank is on.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Really, really surprised with the timing of Mac's dismissal.

Maybe this quote had something to do with it:

Meh, he's been saying stuff like that since he got here. It just looks bad now because we're not winning. He's used that exact "scared to death" line at least five times.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Cameron at the helm has to be indicative of the fact that we've already given up on this season, no?

Definitely shows a strong commitment to tanking.

 

[Icelevel]

HATW beat me to it.

hopefully that is the master plan behind this.

i really want to see a plan behind the org's moves. hiring and firing coaches based on short term performance isn't really a great system.
