StevieY9802 6 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Hartsburg fired: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=265548&...os=topStory_nhl Not a surprise. I thought it was a bad hire to begin with. He never really had all that much success as a head coach in the NHL. So including Murray when he was the head coach the Sens now are on their 5th coach, including interims, since getting to the finals 2 years ago. 6th once they hire the new guy in the summer. Brian Murray might be comng up next. They fired Muckler after getting to the Finals and let Murray take over that job. How have things worked out with that move?

AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Just was waiting for the hammer to fall on this guy. Shame. Not his fault, but he can't seem to motivate the players, and they are all pointing fingers at each other and saying "it's not MY fault, it's his!" Trade deadline in Ottawa will be fun.

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Does anyone else think Pat Quinn will be coaching the Sens next? That was the rumour right after the end of the U20 World Juniors, with Bob Nicholson taking over as GM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Crazy 201 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 It is not Hartsburg. Look at all those coaches in the last three years, it is time to make the players accountable in Ottawa. Alfie needs to go to shake things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 I laughed last season at the way Ottawa "handled" the Emery fiasco; Murray could have stood up for HC John Paddock, but instead they fired him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 They got rid of all the "cancer" players in Ottawa, according to the players, Emery, Redden, etc. and they still suck. Or....maybe they weren't really the problem at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 I for one was suprised!!! I thought Ottawa was going to play for the High Draft pick!! This is crazy that if the players decide they don't want to play, the GM fires the Head Coach!! When will the player be accountable for themselves?? Someone said today on NHL Home Ice that Hartsburg was a player coach (kind of like dave Lewis) and I personally think that is what did him in! But hell Ottawa isn;t going to make the playoffs anyways, they are 14 points out of 8th, I just don't see them making a comeback like that. I think the problem is Bryan Murray!!! The Matt Millen of the NHL!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
