He’s our guy. Time to get behind him.

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

Hope Green has a solid start in Ottawa.

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

This was AWESOME!! Emotional shock worn off lol ... LET'S GO TRAVIS!! WELCOME TO OTTAWA BROTHER!!

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

Welcome to the Senators Travis!!

Love how Ian keeps it real, and maintains a fair level of professionalism.

Hey, I am a francophone...sure it's nice if the coach can speak French...but I am more interested in winning. As long as Green has an open mind and maybe learn a few phrases - Bonjour... I really don't see that as a criteria. He needs to be a great hockey coach. We had Guy Boucher, he speaks French we had great run in 2017 (that was fun) but then things fell apart. Losing is no fun, in French or English. So I am glad the Sens got a hockey guy! It's also great that Mr Andlauer grew up in Montreal, speaks French and sets the right tone at the top. He knows how to approach that dynamic and it shows.

we're a (coached) team

Welcome to the city Coach

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

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

took me a while but... the RIDE NEVER ENDS. cant wait for next season

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

He’s ours now. I’m all for it!

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

Welcome aboard! Go Sens Go!

Welcome aboard coach!

Love Ian

Rebuild pt 3.0 commences lol

If we believe in Mr Andlauer and believe that Steve Staios knows what he is doing, then it follows that we have to believe they made the best possible choice. Green is an NHLer, not a junior coach. He might not have a Stanley Cup résumé ... yet! However, he does scars earned at the NHL level. Cannot solely look at win-loss records, there is more to it as Staios said. I trust he made the right choice. Go for it.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Don't care. I will watch again if and only when they make the playoffs. F off till then!

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

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

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.

Word of advice Green - change the goaltending

Probs the least excited I'll be for a season. What a joke

Garrioch is such a clown

No Steve, the record is the ONLY thing that matters! You don't win anything for being a good guy. This guy is gonna run this team further into the ground for the simple fact, he is not qualified for this position and ONLY got it because his buddy owns the team. NO other NHL team would have hired Staois for an open GM job. The more things change in Ottawa the more they stay the same. Wake me up in four years when were doing another head coach and GM search.

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.

I'll give Green a Chance, but if Senators miss the playoffs, I am calling you out completely, Senators hasn't been in the playoffs since 2017, and I am getting tired of watching this team falling out of the playoffs constantly,,I have been watching the Ottawa Senators for a long time now, and I am angry watching this team stumble, I am getting sick and tired of this, this is the last straw, SENATORS WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE,

LOL, good luck with that LOOOOOOOOOOL

Go sens go!

4 people clapped lmao

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

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.

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.

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!

Audio/Visual crew gotta get that buffer between table and mic’s. 🫡

Poverty franchise and poverty hire. Senators should be removed from the league. What do they contribute? Besides losing? Same goes for Sabres and blue jackets. Just get out of the league if you suck.

This new ownership is clueless. The owner hires his buddy with ZERO NHL GM experience, the GM then hires his buddy who has a losing record as a head coach. If he was any good, New Jersey would have kept him. We will be looking for a new coach and GM in two years. The excitement about this new ownership has soured over the last year and I have no hope or excitement for the future, just more of the same in Ottawa.

What a terrible choice for a coach.

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

WTF Ottawa is pathetic

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

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