Saturday\u2019s 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers<\/a>, Green criticized his team\u2019s lack of desperation on both sides of the puck.<\/p>\nBy Monday, the dust had settled and the Senators regrouped with a team meeting and a particularly energetic practice. Veteran defenceman Thomas Chabot told the Ottawa Citizen the coach\u2019s message was \u201cone thousand percent\u201d coming in clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s on us as players, man,\u201d Chabot said. \u201cHe gives us every tool to succeed and we\u2019ve got to get out there and just get it done. It\u2019s as simple as that. Like I said, nobody in here is looking for excuses in other ways; it\u2019s on us as players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know that we have a lot more in us and as a team. And I\u2019m more than confident that we will get it done here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Said Green: \u201cOur group, they really understand their game. They know how they have to play to be effective. I think they have a lot of belief and I know as coaches we have a lot of belief in our group. We know how good of a team we have and how good we can play if everyone\u2019s playing their best. It starts there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Senators will host the last-place Vancouver Canucks (16-23-5) on Tuesday. And, if they lose their fifth in a row, the calls for Green\u2019s firing will amplify.<\/p>\n
