Doesn't matter.

We'll draft another Biggs/Gauthier in teh first round, but find some cool boom/bust guys in the later rounds.


Most of whom will bust.




edit: and to be fair, when we drafted Biggs and Percy, there clearly was some good depth. Case in point: Saad.

Just came back...missed part of the conversation.

But I was thinking...all this talk about 'carlyle's system'...can someone explain to me what 'carlyle's system' is?

Because outside of good defensive zone coverage, and a tenacious forecheck....i can't think of anything else.

And if those are two of the key components...then this 'players don't suite his system' excuse isn't good enough.

someone (ilovelamp maybe) posted a good breakdown of how the leafs play..or suck

So I'm taking this from a guy who posted this in Reddit:

After Pronger left, Anaheim was getting bombarded with shots. In Carlyle's last full season, Ducks were outshot in 32 of their 45 wins and were 4th last in the league for shots against. Boudreau has completely reversed that despite no major roster moves (except giving up Ryan and gaining Silfverberg who has been injured quite a bit).

We don't need to trade. We don't need to send down players. We don't need to sit Gards for Ranger Danger.

What we need is this- Actually, I'll quote Yahoo Sports for this part:

Play your best players instead of having a slavish reliance on role players of limited skill; have a defensive system that doesn’t result in over 36 shots on goal against per night; execute a gameplan that stresses solid positioning and simple plays, elementary stuff that’s supposed to be second-nature for paid professionals.

We average 36.4 shots against us this year, which is the highest since the 2005 lockout. If it holds, we get that record.

Why are we playing McClement 18 minutes a night? I like the guy, but he is a 3rd or 4th liner and a penalty killer. That's it. Why did we send Holland down and have Ashton take a draw? The (frank)?

We have this whole, "Wrap the puck around the boards out of the D-Zone or chip it off the glass, if a forward gets the puck dump it deep and change because you're already tired from playing too much in your own end," system going on.

It's (frank)ing failing. We're a disgrace.

This is a fabulous summation of what is going on in Leaf Land. Seriously, good work.
