Is This Our New Head Coach?

Paul MacLean lifting the Stanley Cup with Detroit

According to Don Brennan, yes! He believes that Detroit assistant Paul MacLean will be the new head coach of the Ottawa Senators and I've heard the announcement of a new coach, whoever it may be, may come as early as Monday. Like the article says, I've also heard the top 3 candidates are MacTavish, MacLean and Kleinendorst.

Speaking of the article, could Brennan go any more out of his way to say this is happening without saying it's for sure happening? It's basically allowing him to gloat if it does happen and say hey I never said it was a done deal if it doesn't. Is this really what passes for content at major newspapers? Make a definitive opinion and stand by it.

Do you Brennan is right? And who would you like to see as the next Sens head coach?

Melnyk Doesn't Understand What A Poker Face Is

These were The Euge's comments from an interview during the 1st intermission of the Memorial Cup Semi Final last night. It was a game that his team ended up winning, and I can just see a potential CHL championship as the crappy excuse used to justify his hiring. Are we really supposed to believe that Melnyk, a guy who pays MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars a year to operate the team, isn't going to get the guy he just publicly said he wanted? Poker face Eugene, poker face.

Thoughts on the likelihood of Cameron becoming our new coach?

Dave Cameron Comments

There have been rumors for awhile that Mississauga head coach Dave Cameron may be the next head coach of the Ottawa Senators. He was in the gossip for numerous reasons, especially because he worked for the B-Sens before and because The Euge owns the Mississauga team. Well up until now we haven't heard from him, but now we have, and it sure seems to me that he is making a push to be the next one in charge in the capital.

Taken from a post on Puck Daddy, Cameron goes on to say he would love to be in the NHL and it seems to me he is angling to be behind the bench here next season. For the time being, he is trying to win the Memorial Cup, which starts May 20th and is in Mississauga.

On a personal note, I don't think that Cameron is the solution to our coaching woes. There's a world of difference between the OHL and NHL, and I'd prefer to have someone not already in Melnyk's pocket.
