You missed the point of that comment...

Here's another one for yah.

If you give a chef a can of crappy tuna, a leaf, and a piece of chocolate. How can you expect him to turn that into a quality meal?

Add some spice and a whole lotta ketchup.

Couple years after making the cup finals. Wasn't Ryan on the team that won the cup as well? Guess we have Murray to thank for that!

Trading for Pronger = Building a team now?
- TheThrill

Nope Ryan was in the AHL.

, i blame randy for not making adjustments or forcing nonis to make moves so he could make the adjustments.
- Lucas Neilson

Btw, with as many holes and gaps this team is missing, there's no need for someone to force Nonis to make moves so Randy could adjust the lineup and roster.

Nonis should be able to do that on his own without someone telling him "Hey..We suck. We need improvements"..

How the (frank) is the coach going to force his boss to make a move?


- jbold

do you really think the head coach and the GM dont discuss the future of the team?

*expect comments about the roster he had and how anyone could have won*
- jbold

Which would be 100% accurate.

Bruh. I like the way you think. Lets be friends.

check the rosters between the last year Murray was GM and the year they won the cup. And the entire coaching staff while you're at it.

Yes, changing close to half the players on the team and the entire coaching staff is building a team.

Fair enough. I still don't think Burke built the '07 Ducks. I'm not trying to hate on the guy. In fact, I wish MLSE had never fired him. I think he was best thing that happened to the Leafs in decades.

Still think he inherited a pretty great team in Anaheim

You win. Burke > Murray

Do you really think if Carlyle said to Nonis 'I need a first line center, a 4th line, a top 2 Dman and some depth" Nonis would snap his fingers and make that happen?


Youre plain wrong for blaming a coach because a GM didnt make moves to improve the team.

He didn't build them, he finished them, getting Pronger and Nieds, one of the biggest coups in NHL history.

Which would be 100% accurate.

I could easily say that about Chicago, Boston and LA when they won the cups...


Looks at their rosters.


LA has three top 6 centers. Kopitar, Richards and Carter... Quick is unreal and they have 4 solid Dmen behind Doughty.

Chichago has Kane,Toews, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson(sp?) and Keith, Hossa, Sharp.

Boston has Chara, Boychuk, Siedenberg, Krejci, Lucic, Bergeron, Rask...

What if the car was a POS beater that wasnt running in the first place?


Buying into the "Fancy stats says he isnt good at coaching so im going to say he isnt a good coach" is laughable.
- jbold

thats an awful way to defend a coach

you can be serious? they dont pass the eye test or stats test under RC... record amount of shots against.. I watched the leafs be coached into a possession black hole.

I have to think you are smarter than that comment

You have to think smarter than having adv stats do the decision making for you.


Awful way to defend a coach? How? Bringing up that this team lacks the needs to make the playoffs? To be a good team?

You're probably one of the guys who blamed Wilson for not making the playoffs when we had Poni-Stajan-Blake as our top line..

Shaved. That beard was a playoff beard (sans stache as a joke). I usually rock the 2 o'clock shadow.

Are you Kadri?

- jbold

What gives you the idea that Nonis has this ability?

I think his track record speaks for itself.

Are you Kadri?
- jribout

He's staring to look more and more like Jose Bautista.

Are you Kadri?

*scratches nose vigorously*

no what are you implying?

Sure.


But what gives anyone the right to blame a coach because the GM won make a move...

MY TWO GOALIES ARE INJURED

BOTH MY SUPERSTARS ARE INJURED

HALF MY ROSTER IS INJURED
