Horachek is auditioning for a future job. he knows the Leafs are brining in a new coaching staff next year. so developing call ups is going to be his last priority.

Good luck Mr. Horachek.

He'd make it so much worse though. Short term pain for long term gain!

Ohhhhh....but still, I couldn't watch.

That could be it. Or it could be that he shares a defining characteristic with Carlylye: a giant fat head. Oddly enough Spott also has a giant fat head. I think it's time to bring in a thinner-faced coaching staff.

he is also going to do as he is told

nonis sets the roster.. not horachek.. horachek just decides who on his roster he sits and plays

if that's the case Nonis is an idiot, and Nonis does what Shanny tells him to

I know, eh!? I feel a tinge of shame for doing that, but Lums made me. Have you seen that movie about him and the James Hunt rivalry? I was shocked at the closing credits when they showed the real Lauda and they didn't exaggerate his injuries for the film. He is quite an inspiration for perseverance.

(frank) you guys are so one or the other

you really going to put a management team together who has less collective experience in contract negotiation than one friggin agent?

the person who thinks thats a good idea is the idiot

sorry, I can buy into a lot of theories but not the one where Nonis tells Horachek the roster.

What about the one where Lupul cuckolds Dion and breaks his hand in their subsequent fight about it?

because even if Kadri is a better player than Bozak, Kessel and JVR are not committed backcheckers/defenders. and that puts way, way too much of a strain on the centre that plays with them. so by putting a guy like Winnik there you've at least got some defensive responsibility on that line and it eases the burden on Kadri. it's about balance and that's something the Leafs top 6 has lacked for a long time.
- DoubleDown

Then why not Komarov or Santorelli, you know, guys that have shown some offense. I'm convinced actually that Kadri is as good if not better defensively than Bozak right now. Yeah, I said it.

the coach isnt the guy who sends guys up and down

thats common knowledge

Nonis was playing Bejeweled during last nights game.

last night's game was an anomaly. Pete H and Spotter will get this team on track, they'll grab the first wildcard spot

If Joffrey Lupul and Tim Connolly ate a sandwich, who would tear their achilles first?

Dale Weise isn't a beauty queen either.

Imagine,

The Leafs ice a roster like that next time they face Montreal, Boston or Ottawa. They don't try to win, they just go around plastering people and throwing cheap shots.

I might even prefer that to a Stanley Cup.
