Yup, hasn't been a good year for MacLean, his decisions have not worked out like they did last year but the Sens are way tougher to coach this year as well. Not everyone is or had bought in.

I've bought in. To the fact that "Mac" is a stupid jacka$s with an even stupider looking mustache.

Best thing Murray can do right now is move Anderson to Florida for Clemmensson and a pick.  His value is close to worthless at this point but there is one place that needs a goaltender longer term and that is indeed Miami.  Just clear this sh*t storm that's about to hit the locker room.
The flopping around was very strange. Then the look on his face on the bench after getting pulled, wow. I would not want him on my daughter's peewee team right now. Zero confidence, if not negative confidence. That *does* translate to how the team plays in front of him.

He's playing very small these days... almost seemed like he was in the net sometimes last night. The team seems to go as the goaler goes...

It may be time to give Lehner a few starts in a row and use Andy if there are any back to back situations.
Lehner is not going to get a SO every game, neither is he going to win every game, or even have a good game every time out. But even on his off days he did better than Anderson has done overall (something like .909 SV% when he, by his own admission, had a bad game).

Also I don't think Lehner would get run as much as Andy, and even when he does get run (as all goalies do) there is lower risk of him getting injured -- the guy is built like a tank.

That's exactly right, always been a guy that rubs people the wrong way when things go poorly and people in Ottawa are seeing it first hand now.

Like I said this is the exact same thing that happened in Colorado and they need to make a move quick just to get him out of the city. The writing has been on the wall for a month now and it's playing out exactly how I thought it would. People just refuse to look at history to form an opinion.

It's not even that Mac made a stupid decision going back to back with Anderson, leaving him on after the 3rd goal was a free goal for Vancouver. Really, what are you thinking?

right now.... nobody knows. but with the budget in place and a new contract the man has a sense of job security. no way would melnyk approve of another coach coming in. unless it's Cameron.... and god forbid that ever happens.

Mac doesn't seem like that kind of guy though. I dunno...I've seen some stupid coaching decisions before, but this one is right up there.

Hopefully this takes care of the the goalie debate once and for all, but I have my doubts.

MacLean didn't quit on Anderson which will earn respect from the players and probably has... that said it's time to turn the page to the future.

You don't even need to be that black and white about it, all you need to do if you're MacLean is put Lehner in for the next few games, see how he does and watch Anderson in practice - hoping he can put it back together. What you don't want to do is play Anderson in back to backs after he won a game in spite of his play. I just don't understand the decision to go back to back with him.
