Since Carlyle took over, the leafs have allowed more goals and have scored less.
- Fakepartofme

It's pretty tough for a coach to change systems with 20-something games left and get instant results. It's not like he's Hitchcock or anything.

That being said, Carlyle seems to be the type of coach that does better with a team that is a lot closer to being a contender than the Leafs are. Not exactly a rebuilding type of coach as much as he is a getting over the hump type of coach.

Thats me.
- markmark

Nothing unusual then.

Psst....ummm....look at the sequence of events.
We are in April....a lot has changed.
At that time...Gus still had the leafs in the playoffs.
they go back to rotating Gus and reimer....oh look 25th spot!

Gustavsson is among the worst goalies in the league. Shoot above the waist and it's in the net. He is done with the Leafs and possibly done in the NHL too.

If I get a virus I'm getting the 11 year old down the hall to hack the crap out of you.
- AdamFrench

He wont like the results i can assure you.

He's still a back up.
The guy made him sound as if Rask had turned into a superstar.
Not the case.
- Fakepartofme

And as multiple people explained to you, he's only a back-up because Tim !@#$ing Thomas is in the way!

Rask can and will be a superstar as soon as the net belongs to him. And he's 10 times better than any goalie the Leafs have.

I hear Wilson does well with kids and the pressures of not making the playoffs in a crazy market.

Doubt it. They have lots of young goalie depth. I am not in favor of a goalie in the 1st.

Like who? I mean someone that is good, not someone you wish was good.

He wont hit 40.

So glad we got rid of wilson. :no:

Tyrion just added more proof to why he IS Tywins son.

And what was with starting Jon at Cresters, and Dany in the Red waste without any indication as to why they were there.

if people hadn't read the books i'm sure they would be lost.
- Oilhab

I've read the books, twice, but the last time was a couple years ago. I expect when I finally start watching this series, that I will be lost.

They pick up cans for 10 cents a piece why not turds for 25?
- Oilhab

1. Because they pick up the cans on their own (unfortunately many are heading to the beer store/lcbo etc anyway)
2. Cans and bottles can be measured by unit, unless poop is measured in weight
3. Picking up poop is degrading and demoralizing
4. Would the homeless have to pay taxes of the $0.25?
5. Could one large poop be broken up into many smaller poops to collect more money?

So many questions.

Now if you want to exploit someone for this dirty job, why not use all those little a-hole punks in juvenile detention centers? We could just strap on exploding neck collars and detonate them if they tried to run!

Nothing unusual then.
- Oilhab

Im going to go watch some episodes of the Borgias to get extra details about whats going on.

Prospects become players. I know it's something the Leafs rarely do but it's the way things really work. On winning teams anyway...
- Unholy_Goalie

Yes, and we have goalie prospects right now.
there's no sense wasting a 1st on a goalie....unless he can step in the NHL.
Which he wont.
Its not the best use of our 1st.

Maybe we should hire him again. And then extend him when he does poorly.

He's waiting for you to name a few names.

I like the cut of your jib. Sounds like a more pro-active crimestoppers right there.

Glad to see you were wrong about that guy, wow does he suck huh?
- Prolific_Scorer

I was wrong about Hitchcock and Tippett too. And Napoleon.

- burn

Really, do go ahead, ill wait to see the Leafs tremendous goalie superstar depths within the organization, go ahead, i could use the laugh.

Pirate Bay has it ribsy sent me a link for it, so check the site.

FYI...

HBO is free for the next two months with Rogers. Just need to call them. Not sure about Bell.

- Unholy_Goalie

Oh so he will be a superstar?
Wow, you can see into the future...good for you little kid!

Here's the point.
Who cares about Rask...he's not a Leaf.....its not the best use of our 1st to draft a goalie right now.
Get it?

Yes, and we have goalie prospects right now.
there's no sense wasting a 1st on a goalie....unless he can step in the NHL.
Which he wont.

- Fakepartofme

And I agreed with that. Using 5th to 10th overall on a goalie, in this draft, doesn't make sense. It does make sense however to significantly improve the goaltending situation in Toronto. We have prospects? Rynnas? Owuya? Scrivens? Decent but not exactly eye-popping goaltending prospects.
