He’s no Bruce Boudreau.

As a Sens fan, my preliminary reaction to this was « FUCK ». But on a serious note Canucks fans, what should us Sens fan expect from Travis Green?

I don’t like this move for them

You’d think that a Sens team, which is trying to rebuild and cultivate a winning culture, would prefer to sign a veteran coach; someone who can lead by example and knows what it means to grow into a young professional. It’s kinda surprising to me that they would target someone so green.

eh even though he had a bad record with the canucks, our roster was horrendous back then…

A moment of silence for our about to be (even more) fallen Canadian brethren.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I think Travis Green did a decent job here and deserves another crack at a full-time Head Coaching role.
You look at the rosters that Green had to work with while here in Vancouver, there were a few bright spots, but it was mostly shit.
His first three seasons in Vancouver, his defense outside of Edler and Tanev consisted of Gudbranson, Hutton, Pouliot, Sbisa, Stecher, and Del Zotto. His top-6 featured Baertschi, Eriksson, Roussel, Goldobin, and Leivo.
When he finally had decent players come in, Hughes’ rookie season, Tyler Myers, and Tanner Pearson, they made the play-in and took essentially two playoff series, including the defending Cup Champs in 6 games. You don’t do that with luck.
I don’t blame Green for the way the 2020-21 season went, and by the time 2021-22 rolled around it was clear a clean slate was needed.
All that said, I wish him the best and hope Ottawa picks him.

He’s not an awful coach but it seems like such an odd fit for Ottawa

The Sens have been been eliminated from the 2024-2045 playoff contention

Don’t do it.

Honestly not a bad coach. Tocc and green are more similar than different. Garland always played well under green, not so well on Bruce and great with tocc

Just leave him alone. He did a fine job here and it was time to move on.

I’ve always said you could do a lot worse than Travis Green…

Green had to work with the shit Benning dumped on him while moronic fans defended the stupidest GM in the history of stupid GMs.
That Green stuck it out, had a little success and now has the opportunity to work with the Sens is good on him.

You guys are in for some tough years of your team not fighting for wins. Hope you don’t get him

After hiring Travis Green, Ottawa residents will finally be able to watch that freewheeling, high-scoring, sensational brand of hockey – on tv, after the Sens get shut out for the third game in a row!

Be ready to dump and chase
Travis Green is Rick Tocchet.
why not hire Willie D as assistant as well.
