Stressed DJ Smith

On November 26, 2021, the Ottawa Senators were shut-out 4-0 by the Anaheim Ducks, in Anaheim, California.

Before the game, it was announced that starting goaltended Matt Murray was going to be healthy scrathed. Debate broke out over the share of the blame that Murray had for the failures of the team to take a step forward from the 2020-2021 season.

After the game, Elliotte Friedman tweeted out that Murray may be waived the next day.

On November 27, it was confirmed that Matt Murray would be waived and before the Senators' game against the LA Kings, Head Coach DJ Smith was asked for his thoughts on the overall situation but also Matt Murray specifically.

He was not his usual positive and outgoing self. He looked dejected and stressed out, almost as if he knew his job was on the line.

Sens Twitter user @SteveOnSens tweeted out that DJ looked exactly like the Sad Scarlett Johansson meme, pictured below.
