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

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Holy smokes.

I feel bad.

Bring on Cameron... Dear lord.

 

[Proust*]

There is no way Murray wanted to do this now... doesn't make any sense, since Maclean was his guy.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I think we'd be far fetched to find any coach that would have achieved what MacLean did over past 3 years with the roster he's been given.

Only guy I want over him is Hartley but he isn't available.

Yo @Senators, what if you paid more players instead of more coaches.

 

[SelleckStache]

This has Melnyk written all over it.

Yup. Cameron was/is his guy

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Definitely shows a strong commitment to tanking.

You think Melnyk can afford to lose ticket sales?

 

[saskriders]

Good

Strange after a big win though

 

[Silvercup Returns]

I move back here from the UK and this is what happens.

I'm a jinx.

 

[KA BLAMO]

Yikes - horrible timing.

 

[Harbinger]

I'm actually disgusted with this.

 

[starling]

Lmao

 

[Icelevel]

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

Maybe this quote had something to do with it:

i think that quote was misinterpreted a bit. he has been saying "scared to death" the last couple years i think to express the need for preparation

 

[Sens Mile]

Agree with the firing, disagree with doing it after a terrific win

 

[Silvercup Returns]

tsn1200 saying dave cameron will be interm coach.

 

[Fandlauer]

Not a fan of this move at all. We aren't going to find a better coach out there right now.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

You think Melnyk can afford to lose ticket sales?

Cameron sucks. He doesn't win you big games.

We're tanking.

The guy has a choking resume.

Only person I'd accept is Luke Richardson from the org.

 

[Johnny Hanson]

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

Bad news for you.

Dave Cameron has never won a thing in his life. What a joke, if true

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Agree with the firing, disagree with doing it after a terrific win

I'm indifferent to the firing, completely against Cameron taking over.

 

[bigfatfist]

What a joke.

 

[Icelevel]

how about firing the guy who keeps hiring these coaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pepty]

This has Melnyk written all over it.

No it has Murray written all over it.

Murray wanted to fire him at the end of last year and Melnyk came in and i
interviewed the players and nixed it..

The Murray thew him under the bus with the players and in the media.He has just been waiting for a losing streak.

A Cameron will be going in it seems-maybe Luke said no.

 

[Quo]

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.

We've been crap on D and shots allowed since he got here, despite personnel changes.

Long term performance on that score.

 

[Super Cake]

Bad time to fire him. Right after an amazing comeback win. I admit that i was annoyed with him and there were times that i wanted him gone, but not like this.

Should have waited another week to see if the Sens have turned a corner or not.

 

[Scrub*]

wow crazy

 

[pt_mck]

Strange timing

Melnyk has a way of deflecting attention away from himself. I can't believe Murray would make this move now.

I can't see Cameron doping any better.
