No kidding... I am sooo sick of his crap. Stating the obvious.... we can't compete or be competitive etc... etc.. constantly bringing up the negative yada yada... Providing no insight to the issues other than can't get inside, no passion... whatever the heck that means. He hasn't evolved... considering the game is a track meet nowadays.

Wow it's the opposite of a track meet. Unless you're talking marathon.

Most teams are. There's a reason why Mcphee still has a job in Washington and Muller in Carolina.

Muller and Dougie to Toronto

That'll keep all the shiny object lovers happy

Can we do both?
- Aaron_85

Absolutely!

The 18 other players haven't got the same advantage as the player with the most minutes.
- honesthockey

No, but the fact that there's 18 other players, with 2-3 probably playing just slightly less than the one with the most minutes, and another who plays the full 60 minutes completely invalidates the assertion that the game was won or lost because a single player did or did not play the most minutes. The fact you refuse to accept this fact means that you're either completely stupid or in denial due to personal bias.

Why wait? Not sure playoff team coaches are gonna become available. There is absolutely no reason to wait if you feel Carlyle is the ultimate problem.

The best teams are full of competitors. A system that needs you to win battles has proven to be the formula. In your own end you have to win the puck back. Leafs can't execute that with this lineup. Period.
- honesthockey

I agree. They lack competitors and players that are in it to win #gonefishing.

Our first line is more interested in sleeping with each other than winning.

Second line is too busy trying on suits, being a defensive liability, and fighting water bottles.

Third line has no identity

Forth Doesnt exist

Defense is a mess.

No winning team here. Just a bunch of misfits who don't have their eyes on the prize. Theres a word I'm missing to explain the Leafs.... er.. yes! They lack RESILIENCE! . 'Tis why they won't win.

Change the players that will never fit the culture. The coach can't win puck battles.
- honesthockey

The coach can put the players in the right spot so they have an advantage during the battle.

It's not like Kadri goes for a battle and says... hey I wanna lose this batte. Kessel might be the only player on the team that doesnt' engage in any regard.

I think he's just waiting for things to settle first instead of throwing the city into another media frenzy. His firing is coming.

I think it would take a little bit of both to change a culture.

TRUCULENCE!!!

Absolutely!
- honesthockey

Perfect.

As much as I am a fan of the leafs and some of the roster I should also be realistic that there's pieces on it that just aren't fitting to make a winning model.

I would like to see the organization take a stance of patience throughout though. Don't need to move up in the draft, move prospects to the big league before it's time, etc.

I am big about the draft picks though...look at what we did to get Percy. Moved up and ended up giving up the Rakell and Gibson the goalie to Anaheim....Rakell is currently on the team and Gibson is looking real solid.
Percy is too but there's two guys to our one....

Wow it's the opposite of a track meet. Unless you're talking marathon.
- honesthockey

I almost disaggree with everything you write. It's unbelievable.

The game is so fast it's crazy... you make a mistake it's a odd man rush in seconds.

No, but the fact that there's 18 other players, with 2-3 probably playing just slightly less than the one with the most minutes, and another who plays the full 60 minutes completely invalidates the assertion that the game was won or lost because a single player did or did not play the most minutes.

What's factual about it? I asked you for the breakdown of the remainder of the team in wins and loses when they play most mins on the team. Not by position but on the team as a whole. The player with the most ice should have the most affect correct? Probability.

Shanny said he's assessing everyone. Change will be coming... to whom???? ask Shanny.

No reason to rush. I think it's only because of the Raptors being in the playoffs though.

If they blow it I can see Leiweke telling them to fire him to take the heat of them in the media.

actually i think gardiner is a big part of the problem on the leafs D

him and franson need to go.. been saying it for awhile.
- Dozzer

Had to PO there for a while, which delayed my next question:

If we get rid of Franson (please!) and Gardiner; who do you move in? Does that open up a spot for Brennan? Who else do we target?

Pot meet Kettle.
- HipHopisDead

cause i dont like gardiner?

you guys can love him, cuddle with his likeness, put his face on a blow up doll all you want..

but I am entitled to my opinion

That's happened since the beginning of time. You think odd man rushes are new?

Obviously Nonis doesn't feel he is...as of now.

A lot of games are won and lost in a few minutes/few plays.
