Claude Giroux, Brady Tkachuk and D.J. Smith Postgame Availability vs FLA
Hear from head coach D.J. Smith and forwards Claude Giroux and Brady Tkachuk following tonight’s game against the Florida Panthers at Canadian Tire Centre.
0:00 D.J. Smith 6:45 Claude Giroux 10:29 Brady Tkachuk
The Sens need to grow up and pretend they are pro hockey players instead of being lost, lazy, babies that have never played a hockey game. It's time for some roster changes.
Claude is right too many players not delivering 60 minutes of effort gotta find a way to play the whole game. None of this last ditch effort stuff always fighting from behind exhausts a team mentally
I feel that if this Sens was coached by a different coach they will be better than this. The Sens have so much talent in their roster that I feel this record they have now is not even close to being indicative of how much skill this team has.
Funny how whoever picked the thumbnail for this vid picked a still shot of Giroux smiling/laughing misleadingly making it seem like he doesn't care about this egregious 5-0 loss.
While I do believe DJ should've been fired already, the schedule for us has been fucking terrible. I swear to god we play 1 game every 4 days which hurts us and any momentum we have after a win.
No structure in our game at all. Florida really showed how bad we are. All 3 areas of the ice we looked like chumps. Power play is a joke, pk is super weak goalies are not good enough….. no hustle, no effort it’s like “we get paid win or lose “ mentality it seems like. There need to be some accountability. It’s hard to watch a team with so many talented players suck so bad. Do they even do special teams drills in practice??? This is what rock bottom looks like…..
We need a Tyrant like Babcock to come in as coach and put his foot down. It sounds like the Coach just lets them do what they want and ya know "make it work guys". For once we have a really well rounded team, but no system it seems. I see other teams like Toronto, LA, cycle the puck in the offensive zone and make plays. Ottawa doesn't really do that. It's more of either dump it in and chase, or hope that you get a chance. It's a passive strategy as opposed to an active strategy.
It’s always the same excuses from DJ. You don’t do anything when the players don’t do what they are suppose to do. There is no accountability. Yet the players say they want DJ as their coach. They aren’t really showing it. Mr Andlauer talks all the time about accountability. Where is the accountability. This feels like another wasted season of not going to make the playoffs.
D.j isn't the problem. There's lots of talent there but no grit other than Brady. No fore check. We miss Austin Watson here was a spark plug that protected his team. Everything wasnt on Brady. Team isn't hard enough to play against like they were.
Sens fan forever here. This club CONTINUES in the tradition of non-physical, get by with just enough effort approach. They don’t take the body in their own end especially when they get running around. Hamonic couldn’t play for the 67s, Branstromm while a terrific skater is just too friggin’ tiny to play D in the NHL. I am sorry. We need some grit. And for @$’%&@ sakes, I am tired of Stutzle whining, being soft on the puck, and falling down whenever he’s touched. Someone needs to grab this kid and toughen him up. While gifted, he is no Messier, Yzerman nor any other top line center.
DJ fostered a culture of losing inside that dressing room and all of the players are okay with it. They are okay with losing. No hard work, no urgency, no determination. Happy to skate around and make $8 million while being losers.
I kinda on the give DJ a second chance somewhat, not we gotta keep him but we've seen we can win so let's keep this guy around a tad longer, but after last night… the puck fumbling, lack of communication, lack of answer to situations of urgency, this was for sure the worst game of the season. We have too many goal scorers to be under .500 at this point in the season. With friggin Jay Woodcroft having just been let go by the Oilers I really think we should look at putting Woodcroft where Smith is right now. Coaching aside we really have to talk to Brady about growing balls against his brother cuz I saw the same thing last year, every game Brady plays Matthew Brady turns into like a parent telling everyone “don’t hurt my kid please” like I mean I love Brady Tkachuk immensely but I say this with hopes he treats every opponent as an equal threat to the playoffs/cup, grow the fuck up Brady. If Matthew Tkachuk is on the opposing team & he’s bein a “pesky rat” so to speak you go after him, not everyone with skates except for him, go after HIM. If I’ve learned anything from that game it’s that Jake Sanderson is tougher than Brady Tkachuk. Respect skyrocketed for Sanderson while respect for Tkachuk has not dropped as much… but dropped. If I was Smith by halfway through I would’ve told Brady “lay out your brother next shift or get off the ice & go home.” Korpisalo, Brannstrom, Joseph, & Giroux at least looked like they put effort into the game last night. If we play anything like this on Friday against Columbus I want Sanderson droppin the gloves with his own Tkachuk, teach him a lesson in leading a group to victory 😂

As the renowned showman Herschel Krustofsky once sang… “Send in the Clowns”

Do they even do special teams drills in practice???
This is what rock bottom looks like…..
This guy is the worst coach in senators history. Get him outta here.
Do we need another billboard?
The fact that this clown thinks his team played solid 5 on 5 this game tells you everything you need to know
I wonder how much money was on the board too 🤣
Had to skip DJ, can't take it anymore.

Hey Brady you know what else speaks for the team. LOSING.
Yeah, just another seasons of bad breaks. Im done!
