Screw that...I'm cheering for the bunch of jerks who embarrassed the Leafs by wholeHEARTedly backing a 42 year old Zamboni driver, and even then, turning the whole thing into an experience he'll never forget. They've won my admiration for now, gotta say.

its clear his content with sitting on his 2 hands

Back to the first comments, thing will change when there will be empty seats and I believe we will see some this year.

What I find confusing and worrisome is that Bergevin mainly said the draft was a crapshoot and mostly luck.

I mean, there is a bit of luck yes, but I really think they are looking at the wrong stuff when evaluating players. That's why they fail in my opinion.

there's always time for improvements this summer... time will tell, but we could be pleasantly surprised

Also ... Francois Gagnon finally took off his white gloves ...

The place needs to be deserted just to make sure Molson gets the message.

"didn't make sense to trade them for just draft picks"

"the good teams are built through the draft and that's what we're trying to do"

Pretty much.

The guy is a living contradiction.

yeah he seems to put the blame more on the players for not developing properly, instead of pointing out they could make adjustments and improve their development program. Contrary to what he said, all players aren't given the exact same tools to develop, this varies from one team to another.

Even so, most of the seats are sold anyway. Not many people are willing to give up their season tix

and the draft is giant dartboard, the more darts (picks) you have, the more chances you have of getting decent players..?


usually you can improve your aiming when playing darts though...

Exactly. They expect a kid to walk right in and be great so they don't have to work at developing. They don't understand their role after they draft the kids.

Absolute failure of direction. And MB wants to talk about attitude and no excuses. He's a hypocritical moron. He's lost, in WAY over his head and he's running out of excuses. It's downright embarrassing. He would have been better off, and probably would have faced less backlash, if he didn't even show up for the presser. WOW.

Exactly! Follow the leader......in circles. And then down the drain.

He's clueless and it's all catching up to him.

Yeah, I know the seats are pre-sold but if they were empty it sure wouldn't look good (ie: on TV) for the organization.

Also, falling TV ratings (ad revenues) could hit Molson's pocketbook.

Hard to aim when you're throwing darts (frank)ing blindfolded!!!

What are the odds that MB gets booed at the draft?? I hope it's loud and goes on for 10 minutes.
