He's been a bit better, but his save percentage in January was .870 or something; not good enough.

Over a period where the Leafs were getting shutout every single game. Can't blame your goalie if you get shutout or held to 1 goal as often as the Leafs did in January especially when you're giving up 40 shots a game.

Nonis is looking in the paper for a new job.

and Shanny is not President material. He should of been named GM.

Shanahan is the de facto GM. Nonis is just there to deal with all the legal stuff. Both of them have better titles than they deserve because that's just how the franchise operates.

Macdonalds won't hire him because they are afraid of what he will pay the Fries guy.
- Aetherial

He will trade him to BK for there older fry guy but continue to pay half his hourly wage.

He's probably visiting with Hazel to see if Brian will take him back.
- PrinceLH

Hopefully he does. Burke can send us Gio for Gardiner too.

UG was right, 5 years ago, about tearing this team down, but Burke had to go with the bandaid formula. 5 years of wasted hockey watching and we're no better off then the JFJ days. This stuff has gone on long enough and it's time to rip the heart out of this core. Move Dion and Phil, plus start stripping away the veteran presence. Keep every player under 25 and say goodbye to the rest. However MLS& Greed wants to keep the season ticket holders happy. I wonder how the sponsors feel about this, considering that we're years away from a playoff spot.

All hail UG!!!

All hail UG!!!

Agreed......he should be reinstated and allowed to make his observations here.

I think quality vets are fine. We need them to make sure the right culture is brought in and work ethic. We may not like his deal but Robidas would be good.

Some think i am UG truth is i was adamant against a tear down, especially to dozzer until this summer. Hopefully im not as annoying as this UG legend. But man does it need tearing down.....to the bare bones

I didn't mind UG. He ruffled feathers, but many of his observations were correct. He'd liven it up in here, if he was reinstated.

Franson to detroit for a 2nd round pick

UG wasn't annoying. He didn't fit in at the time when pretty much all Leaf fans got butthurt when the wind blew the wrong direction.

He'd be a god now if he was here.

i remember him because of his avatar and he posted a lot but don't remember seeing any controversy

Silver lining:

Currently 16.7 to 1 odds on getting Connor McDavid.

If Ottawa and Columbus pass us, those odds change to 13.3 to 1.

He posted the truth and the truth was bleak. People don't like bleak.

i think that was my problem...i was ripping the leafs and everyone was optimistic. what can i say , i was angry and it's been too long and i saw a very inefficient team. But i tried not to rip posters, just constantly argue my point. It's brutal suffering with management of this franchise what can i say. Especially for so long

You watched him for 1 game lol
- jbold

You can see alot in one game if you have a some what decent eye. Stromes number's are inflated by playing with Mcdavid, he's probably ranked a bit high because of his name as well.. Marner is better

Mentally, Kessel is already gone. He has been for awile. Probably shining his tackle box up right now.
- JohnFergusonJr

That's funny stuff !!

Certainly not from the first game of the season. Without hopes and dreams, what is there left.

funny i don't get the same reception lol. leaf fans still don't like bleak. I hate it. i don't come on during games and rip them. I just like to discuss the moves they need to make. Just look at how bad top to bottom the franchise is. Cap, roster, prospects....and considering how bad we've been?? jerseys on the ice are well deserved IMO and last year i never would have said such a thing...need to send the message strongly. re-frickin-build for once

i can't help it..this forum is for opinions..i saw a poope team in the summer and most saw a good one. It's all about discussion. I love the leafs so i am passionate no matter how i feel.

I wonder if the owners have the balls. I think it's starting to show. The fans are slowly turning and it will show. The corporations will begin to back out because their clients will already know the Leafs are a joke.
