Big news out of the nation’s capital today as they have hired DJ Smith to be their 14th head coach in franchise history. Smith was most recently employed by the Toronto Maple Leafs as an assistant coach. I don’t know too much about him, but it seems as though the players on the Leafs liked him, which is always a good thing. He also watched a lot of game tape in order to prepare for his interview, so it seems as though he wants this job and already has a good understanding of this team. - - - - #ottawa #senators #sens #ottawasenators #ottawasens #nhl #hockey #news #coach #headcoach #hired #djsmith #gosensgo #ottawarising #hired
