Eklund: Sens Hire DJ Smith as Coach. Oilers CLosing in on Tippet.

So let me get this straight Sens fans: Melnyk roasts the Leafs D, then proceeds to actually hire the guy in charge of it.
You can't write this stuff. LOL.

Best move Sens have made ... hiring DJ and staying far far away from Patty Rage Roy....

Was Patrick Roy ever going to work that cheap? I doubt it. DJ Smith will command a tiny salary.

So all the crazy bidding wars for DJ Smith that’s been plastered all over the media can end?

Exactly ... and that’s after crushing Ducks 6-1...
Not a good match with all Sens kids ...

Caught in the crossfire.

Was DJ in charge the power play or penalty killing?

Leafs playlist.

IMO, not the best choice they could have made.....but considering the candidates listed, it's FAAAAARRRR from the worst choice.

he should be an improvement over what they had last year. Boucher/Crawford was one of, if not the WORST coaching tandems in the league last year.

there isn't a coach alive, OR in history, that could have coached that roster out of last place.

I absolutely love how rattled you are that your team failed AGAIN.

not debating the quality of the Ottawa roster, obviously they were finishing in the bottom......he's just been trolling everywhere he can since the leafs got eliminated.

it's hilarious....he doesn't know how to deal with yet another failure, other than to up his trolling.

I'm rattled by the Sens, who finished dead last, gutted their garbage roster even further, and then proceeded to hire the defensive coach for the Leafs as their head coach (probably cheapest option), after their owner came out and told the press the Leafs messed up because they didn't care about defense?

Yeah. Rattled. For sure. Is that what you assume the puzzled look on my face is? No, that's actually laughter, confusion, and ridicule of the Sens going on in my head.

I love how finishing near the top of the league, but losing to the Eastern conference champs in 7 games is some big failure in Sens fans heads. You're really scraping for things to feel better about yourself, aren't you?

Maybe the leafs should hire Marc Crawford as an assistant?

Nah, I'm sure we can do better. Guy Boucher probably wouldn't be a bad assistant coach for our D though.

you're rattled and butthurt, and trying to deal with it by trolling on every blog you can.

you know, I know it, everyone knows it.
