In all fairness, when I looked at the Leafs draft after the 3rd around this year I was like

I imagine this is how people viewed the Leafs for many years after 2005

Yeah, I officially feel (somewhat) what you guys felt. It sucks that it happened to align with finally getting my own season tickets

Obviously winning in '11 makes this a lot easier than what Leaf nation has gone through, but the past is the past. I think lack of direction is the most frustrating thing a team can do to a fan base.

Or people who think playing D is about more than just hitting guys...

Kulikov only hits guys? Weird. Here I thought he was Florida's number one defender in the playoffs while Pysyk was off crying over his 15 minutes of sheltered ice-time on a golf course.

We only take 2nd and 3rd round quality players in the 1st, so (frank) em

Should have a pool to see which GM gets fired first this year:

1) Benning
2) Sweeney
3) Kekalainen
4) Ron Francis

Told ya. So just think of it as Trouba for 4 3rds.

Good read out there on the interwebz about this past draft. Can't link to it because of the competing blog schtick, but if you google leafs bigger stronger dumber, you will find it.

See Frenchie, that's your problem. When you start thinking, things start going off the rails for you. Best to just rely on reflexes and grunts.




Kinda like Gardiner...

I just saw it in Google before my last post, I'm saving it for break.

I think Jacobs won't tolerate incompetence for too long. Both Sweeney and Neely are on short leashes I would think.

That's a great article - borrowed a lot from PPP though.

He's not getting fired mid season, but the way it looks now (I.E barring some miraculous move like Stamkos/I don't even know) we'll miss the playoffs and him an Neely are gone.

To be honest, I may rest more of the blame with what's going on on Neely's lap.

I have no idea why they're doing whatever it is they are doing. It is extremely frustrating. If they had a plan and stuck to it, it'd be one thing, but they preach the need to add speed and skill and trade a third for Rinaldo and then do things like drafting a 3rd line grinding center in the 1st round instead of DeBrincat.

Gee, why does this sound so familiar.

I think their plan of finding the fountain of youth to restore Chara is a pretty enlightened move.

You don't want to see - It's Sweeney and Neely's love muscle controlling him like the puppet master he is.

You are correct, I don't.

Only 2 more days until this nonsense ends and we know that Stamkos signs with a team other than the Leafs.
