Wouldn’t it make more sense for him to learn Russian so he can better communicate with his players and win more games than to waste time learning a language that has zero benefit on the ice? The coaches job is to win hockey games. Get a PR person to learn French if anyone. And what’s wrong with google translate? It takes 2 seconds. A lot easier than having a guy spend half his time trying to learn a new (professionally useless) language. How completely stupid.

Can't be worse than d.j Smith I guesse 😂

Worst pick for a coach in Sens history, what joke! Has a desire to win cuz he doesn't know how! Ottawa needs a coach that knows how to win!

Didn’t realize he was the player who helped Darcy attacked Neil i was only a kid when that happened 😂😂

Should of just kept dj smith if you not gonna make an effort with getting a decent coach

Hard hitting questions from Mendes. Kudos to the Org and Steve being willing to answer the tough ones.

Timmy, Brady, the country club is over. Better get ready.

Not the coach I was hoping for, but it's nice to see the organization not shopping for coaches in the bargain bin! He's got my (tentative) support until we see how the team starts next season.

LOL, good luck with that LOOOOOOOOOOL

I’m feeling much better about him. I actually found myself feeling massively sorry for him, has to hurt getting slammed like that before you even come to the city. Let’s hope they bring in some solid assistants, Todd Rierden would be solid. Bottom line is the players want to win, and so does Green, he is going to prove everyone wrong.

We’ve got to give the bloke a chance. I’m not sold at all but I’m a sodding music producer not a hockey GM so what the f*ck do I know? Welcome TG.

If we're over .500 at the All-Star break and don't collapse in November, I will never doubt you. Good luck!

He’s ours now. I’m all for it!

What a terrible choice for a coach.

WTF Ottawa is pathetic

Love Ian

Who would have thought the #FireDJ crowd would complain about the next head coach? Almost like they're addicted to complaining or something...

Volume is Good for once!! But you need a Mic for the questions.

Welcome aboard! Go Sens Go!

Run it like a Boot Camp. Separate Tim Stutzle and develop him. Get Brady to enrich his leadership potential.

1) Berube only wants to start with a team who's already making the playoffs consistently and take them to the next level. Plus $ 2) There are cities far more attractive to other coaches (E.g., LA's year round weather; American cities have WAY less media/fan scrutiny) Thus, when you're Winnipeg or Ottawa, you're left picking from the rest.

4 people clapped lmao

This guy is expected to win games and take us to the playoffs NEXT SEASON. End of discussion.

When Staois (himself one of the lowest paid GM’s in the NHL-likely bottom 3) says they conducted a thorough search, I think he forgot to add; under the financial constraints we operate under. When your budget for an NHL coach is less than $2M/year, this is what ya get! Top tier coaches or high profile coaching names in this league command $4-6M/year-no way in hell Sens ownership was gonna fork over that kinda dough. As a result, Staois had to go coach-shopping with a low-limit credit card.

Congratulations Travis. Please prove me and others wrong about his coaching. Nevertheless, this was by far a cheep hire.

Welcome aboard coach!

This was a monetary decision. 4 year deal for Green at approx $1.5M/year. Berube is rumoured to be in the $5-6M/year for his next coaching gig. I think Sens fans who are saying other coaches don’t wanna come to Ottawa are actually wrong. Other more prominent coaching names don’t want to come because the Sens simply can’t pay to money needed to attract a top tier coach-not even close! This 4 year deal for Travis Green will make him one of the lowest paid coaches in the NHL. Andlauer simply doesn’t have the budget to hire a top tier or big name coach. As a result, this is what you get-just a dude, who’s coached and played in this league, but hasn’t really accomplished much in either role.

Excited about this hire. He’ll take this team to the next level.

Welcome to the Senators Travis!!

Yeah this team is as bad as the round one exit Leafs !

He’s our guy. Time to get behind him.

I think Staios is being experimental at the start but it does seem like the same old same of dev coach hire and then playoff coach hiring cycles will continue. I want us to go back to that late 2000's level of competitiveness.

As a Die had Sens fan since I was a kid (20 years) - I'm tired of the typical politician approach. Saying the right things, then when it comes time to deliver, big time failure. I am fed up with one nice playoff run in the past 11 years. It's a disgrace, it's frustrating beyond belief. We need to have an OUTSTANDING October/November. No excuses. I will go on record saying this coach will not be here for the entirety of his contract.

They should process the accountability, or be accountable to the process, something like that.

Willing to give Travis a chance and see what he can do for this team. Go Sens Go!

Hope Green has a solid start in Ottawa.

Word of advice Green - change the goaltending

Being bilingual is a nice to have, it is not a requirement..

Looking forward to a Greener approach. How can you win without been given a chance. Looking forward to the new phase. Go Sens Go

He might not be the best available coach, but it was quite possible he was the best one willing to come here. I'm gunna give the guy a chance. I hope for the best and reserve judgment until i see the teams record this November

we're a (coached) team

Come on by’s let’s be proud we finally got a new head coach to make this team run on full speed ahead!! Come on by’s let’s get er done next season let’s get er done! Been rooting fer sens since 97/98 season and they and you guys will always be my team!! Welcome Travis!!

the owners and staff might have confidence in you, but as of right now, i dont think any fans do. Prove us all wrong, but let me tell you. If this next season starts off rough and we miss the playoffs again, youre gonna have a rough next 3 years

Go sens go!

I just love making shitty decisions and having a shitty hockey team

Welcome to the city Coach

So awesome! So cute!

I think next year will be a big one for timmy, he sounds like hes ready to tear it up

At the end of the day I'm drunk as hell from playing the Thomas Chabot drinking game..

Dave Poulin is a great choice, one of my all-time favorite Flyers. Kudos to him and the Senators.
