Mike Augello: Carlyle Should Have Company On The Hot Seat; Leafs Vs. Sabres

6-1 Leafs

Unfortunately, Neuvirth is a sieve and will save Randy's job

Is there enough room on that seat for all these fat asses?

Nonis needs to trade Phil

I'm a big Bernier fan, but why isn't Reimer getting the start?

"Kessel has been a disappearing act in all three losses"

So if Kessel can't register a point in every game and the Leafs lose its his fault. Why can't someone else put the puck in the net every now and then. Who are these players producing every single game Id love to know.

They have to win tonight... A lose to the Sabers and poop will start to flow.

I view it more as Kessel has been demoted to the 2nd line.

"We're not really happy with our production 5-on-5 or our offensive production the last little while."

I wonder if it hurts Carlyle to acknowledge that. Clearly the stats nerds are getting to him.

he doesnt need to score a point but he needs to play sound hockey

if he isnt scoring he better damn well be working hard on the D and along the boards.. which.. he doesnt do

the guy is as one dimensional as they come

Two worlds colliding - RC is a full supporter of Darwinism.






Yet he still prays for a miracle.

This.

Kessel is great offensive player, one of the best in the league.

But if he's not scoring, he's as useless as a John Scott that cannot fight.

Nobody said it's all his fault. When you're given the role of scoring and you're not scoring plus playing really really really poopty in your own end ...then you get to eat some criticism. At 5v5 Kessel is really poor possession player and has contributed to more goals against than he has for.

I hate that the AHL doesn't play games on Mondays.

I'm asking the same question.

Randy's Bernier Boner is probably the answer.

He should play the leadership by example game - it would be easier on him in the long run.

if Buffalo scores early and first things will get quite sticky

That's a really bad comparison.

Yep and he can't play in the playoffs either.

Because Bernier is the starter, hung out to dry hard in the Bruins game. And James has went full floppy fish in that crease after his great start to the season.

continuing trend of the coach not rewarding effort but instead caving to entitlement.

if Buffalo scores early and first and a lot, things will get quite sticky

What the...

Who can if you don't make the playoffs?

21 points in 22 playoff games...that sucks.

What the...
