I was just looking at some of tocchets results, and they are pretty not great. they poop canned BB and scape goat'd him...for...a worse coach?

this is going to be fun to watch play out.. the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm guessing Vancouver hired him strictly so that their broadcasters could say "Tocchy-hockey" during broadcasts.

Until you can come up with a better explanation, do not criticize my thinking here.

Or their time together in Pittsburgh? Or the hire a felon program? But I like “Ricky-ticky, Tocchy-hockey”

Every time we play against him…he dominates

5.5m will be a bargain moving forward
How much do we want to pay for Meier, and Nylander and Marner?

- mr.sir

Fixed.

But I do agree $5Mish for him for a while is going to be a steal. Especially playing with players like JT and Marner.

Just lose Engvall and Kerfoot and it's a wash....plus he kinda pushes those players out of the line up any way since Kampf and Holmberg are the 3/4 Cs and Anderson would push down Jarnkrok to take Engvall's spot. (same if the Leafs got Domi too, even more savings getting Domi to add a bottom 6 LW or a LD/RD with snarl)

Bunting, Matthews, Nylander
Anderson, Tavares, Marner
McCann, Kampf, Jarnkrok
Hunt/NewGuy, Holmberg, ZAR

Why would they hire a guy with a .720 coaching record when they could get Tocchet and his .475?

I’m so pissed that Ek hasn’t hired a new Carol

I am willing to do it.

I have several topics for blogs ready to go:

- Roy Spencer is my hero
- My brother was at the game where Richard Brodeur lost part of his ear
- Why are some Canucks games held at 4 pm on a Saturday afternoon?

So why is Simmonds in the lineup. Last time I checked, he can't score, skates in sand and forgot how to fight. What's he there for.....the big one? Diversity?

Yup, too funny.
From Dustin Nielson's Tweeter.

"Rick Tocchet has been a Head Coach for six seasons in the NHL, missed the playoffs five times, eliminated in the 1st round once.

Has coached 438 games and has won 178 of them.

He's suppose to fix the Canucks? What am I missing? I have to be missing something."

The question is, can Josh Anderson play LW? Or is he strictly a right winger?
It's tough to get a read on him, because Montreal is bad, and he only plays well against Toronto.

If he can't fit into the LW spot, then Max Domi would be the better option.

so do we finally see that Keefe is not the coach you need in TO the same ugly games keep coming up, if guys are not skating bench them.. this was another useless game by the brain fart Leafs.
If the coach can not get the team up for all games, by adjusting the line up talking to players then he will lead them into another first round flop

- monkman1967


Is it the coach or the players? When he has been tough on players early on he was forced to walk comments back.

Glad they swapped Hunt for Holmberg

Probably both players and coach are responsible for them being near the top of the league standings.

More truth-bombs from Mike. Saturday night was just another example of "pure heart" vs "pure skill". How many "lessons" does this team need to learn? Being a Leaf fan is frustrating at times.

Hope the boys show up for a full 60 minutes tonight.

Enjoy the 5 most unlikely fights in Leafs history.

The Lefebvre KO on Brown was a good one and man Sandin did not fair well in his.
