Andlauer\u00a0hasn\u2019t had a great start as the Senators currently have a <em>9-10<\/em> record this season as they haven\u2019t performed as a team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fans have been pretty vocal with their feelings and have booed and chanted at the Canadian Tire Centre letting Andlauer\u00a0know that they <strong>want head coach D.J Smith sacked<\/strong>. Andlauer\u00a0made a big change in November when GM Pierre Dorion was let go and he isn\u2019t willing to give into the fans just yet and make another big change by sacking Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, Andlauer\u00a0said <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I totally understand their angst. I do appreciate, and I love these fans, they are passionate. They have also gone six years without making the playoffs.\u00a0Just like a new coach or whatever, you can&#8217;t be hasty in your decision making. You&#8217;ve got to do it right.

He said it was still early in the season and for now they were making notes of the areas that they Senators needed to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Andlauer Doesn&#039;t Hold Back | 32 Thoughts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M4qnbIW0vjs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Senators also need to find a replacement for Dorion and Andlauer<\/strong>\u00a0is currently focused on getting that position filled.
