Let us not speak of hacking here. I don't want to think about having to do damage control again.
It's seems quite amazing that the pattern with Sens coaches seem to continue time after time.
First, you have the new coach brought in after the team perform below expectations. Then the team seems to have renewed focus proceeds to perform at or above expectations. The new coach gets credit for the team performance and gets promptly renewed. This then gives the coach a sense of validation of his coaching philosophy and proceeds to implement full-scale. This naturally leads to a series of baffling coaching decisions that everyone seems to grit their teeth and bare it as long as the team keeps winning until they don't. Finally, once they've lost enough, the coach is promptly fired and the process begins anew again...

I got an idea, how about we stop hiring inexperienced head coaches?
How many coaches has Murray gone through in his tenure as GM?
Before Murray was a GM, we had 6 coaches since the expansion in 1992.
That averages out to 3.1 years for each head coach tenure here.
After Murray was GM, the average is 1.16 years.
As a player, how the fuck can you find any consistency in your game if the turnout of your coach is as much as a call centre employee, and always having to change systems.
Not to mention, ever since Morray was GM, we have won 1 playoffs series during his 8 years here. This whole approach of lets just get into the playoffs and see what happens is the reason why we the club is so mediocre.
Dave Cameron and Craig Hartsburg came with such a glowing resume from their stint coaching in Juniors and the World Junior Championship teams for Canada.
Same with Paul MacLean with being Babcock's assistant coach in Detroit.
John Paddock seemed like a hire out of left field.
Cory Clouston was around the time Bylsma got hired by Pittsburgh and won a Cup, and teams were suddenly looking harder at their AHL coaches.

Fitting that we're playing Columbus tonight since we've essentially become the BJs of last year. FFS this lineup, can't even put the blame on Cooper anymore.
Namestnikov - Stamkos - Kucherov
Brown - Filppula - Callahan
Killorn - Boyle - Marchessault
Vermin - Gourde - Blunden

I'm having flashbacks right now
And Bernier is starting!!
Daniel Negreanu says there's enough canadians living in Las Vegas to support the team.. lol. says he'd be the first one to get a season box... ahah. and of course he's a Leafs fan living the "Las Vegas dream"
One of the 10000 players whose last name starts with B that the Blackhawks drafted in the early part of the 2000s
#111 CENTEERRR Colin White will lead the mericans to glory n freedum
Poor Frankie, gets put in for first game and has to play in front of Bernier, RIP
Feel like impulse buying Leafs tickets for tomorrow but I can't get anyone to go with me on "short notice", do you guys think going to a hockey game alone is weird? I guess it doesn't help that none of my friends are really hockey fans.

The KHL is expanding into China with a Beijing team
Damn, Ovi is savage.
Dan Girardi will not play tomorrow. Call-up impending. Would have been Raphael Diaz, but he's hurt. The only other right-handed D's in Hartford are Calle Andersson and Tommy Hughes, neither of which really seems like a viable option.
Seems to me the best choice would be to call up Brady Skjei and maybe have McDonagh play on the right.

I saw the NHL's expansion plans last week. It's going to go like this:
- string along Quebec and Toronto2
- expand to Seattle and LV
- when one of Florida, LV or Seattle fails, relocate to Quebec/Toronto2
As expected re: BMO, but I never thought it'd be the Rangers. Kinda always had a hunch it'd be Buffalo.
Shit, I'm down. The Stadium Series was pretty damn fun, even if you couldn't see a goddamned thing.

Leafs Vs Rangers? Sure.

It's pretty small in comparison to other WC venues.
Rangers vs Leafs, meh. Can't wait for all the pump up videos for this faux rivalry they'll try to shove down our throats.
Can't be any worse than that heated Blackhawks-Capitals rivalry.

I feel like they could have picked a better match up for the Winter Classic. Montreal VS Boston springs to mind, but if has to be Toronto and an American team, why not Detroit? I feel like that has more of a history than Leafs-Rangers.
If you wanted him to look good on his debut you should have saved him for tomorrow.

I wish the Nordqiues would come back soon so we can have Montreal vs Quebec City Winter Classic.
