When you create a culture of losing - players lose hope and will want out and no one will want to come there - not a good game plan to keep losing year after year - MTL1
See that's where BB fooled you. All this "we're trying to win now" "no 5 year plan" "I don't believe in tanking" over the years made you believe he's trying to win ...when really its all about the rebuild. You didn't even see it coming.
Sucka!! |

For sure...and Burke's ridiculous plan of adding players that other teams are willing to let go of is clearly not working.
But adding a young, top prospect who just wants to bust his butt to make an impression can become infectious...and then you have a chance to start changing the attitude that sits in the air of the change room. |

Why arent people harder on the 6 Dmen in front of GUS? The problem of letting goals in needs to be evaluated with the dmen that play in front of him - MTL1
If you stuck a goalie like Halak or Price in net, nobody would be saying anything about our dmen right now.
We'd be in a playoff position too. In my opinion.

its so funny you think 28 is old.. its not.
look at some of the best goalies in the league.. brodeur, thomas, hell, even roloson prior to this year..
its one of those positions where guys in their 30s seem to thrive.
meh.. i dont care that much lol - Dozzer
Also...you allow 40+ games for Lombardi etc to get back into game shape...Reimer has had what, 10?

So what are we talking about today?
Fail for mush brain Mikhail?
How Reimer sucks but will be a vezina trophy winner in 5 years?
How Gus is bad but older than Reimer?
How Carlyle system has completely evaporated the teams scoring?
How great Schenn will be in 2020?
Wilson needs to be fired again?
Wilson needs to be hired again?
Burke needs to be fired?
We need trade our garbage players for Getz, Stas, Nash and Bernier?
What is it...what is it?

What people? This board has been consistent in its bashing of Phaneuf, Komisarek, Schenn, Franson, Gardiner and Gunnarsson.
Just for clarity ...By people do you mean there families? Because I'm down with that ...those people are not hard enough on those guys. |

The problem is that it is Toronto also.
Lots of players don't want to deal with that pressure.
Harding the UFA goalie apparantly has already said he has no interest in that type of atmosphere.
Myself, I figured he would like the chance to be a #1.
Big problem is that when players finally come here, they don't want to leave.
Kaberle, Kubina, Tucker, Sundin and McCabe all say hi. - leafs93
The problem with them not wanting to leave - is the expectation of them doing something for their new teams - cant hide as easily from a team demanding results but its easier to blend in when noone expects anything from the Leafs

lol dont worry.. burke will trade the pick - Dozzer
Yup...it'll be for Nash and Burke will say:
"Look, when you have a chance to get a player of his caliber, you would be a fool to pass it up. I've said it 100 times, I'm not interested in a rebuild, if we draft a top 3 pick; we're going to have to wait 2-3 years, this team, this management is not in waiting mode. We want to build a winner now and with Nash; I believe we've done that"
I bet I'm as close to dead on with that as possible! |

Although I dont disagree...which like we said isnt fair to either goalie...however there have been far too many goals scored on Gus that no defender in the world could have helped him out with. |

Lombardi was in game shape immediately.
He started the season nicely, but crap players are crap players, eventually the crap rises to the top in Toronto.
But Lombardi showed no signs of concussion issues.
Reimer and the concussion argument have no merit in my opinion. He was never a high rated prospect. He played well last year for what was it, 6 weeks, but so have many other goalies who are still backups.
In Toronto though, like Ron Wilson said, we build a statue.

So are we all in agreement?
Sniff around and see what it'll cost to get Schneider out of Vanpoopty. If it's too much then sign Biron for a couple of years and hope he and Reimer learn to pray/play together. - The Law
Heck no.
You wont get Schneider.
Go after Bernier. |

There's a reason Reimer wasn't high on our depth chart and would have never gotten a shot unless Giguere and the monster had not gotten injured.
He's just not that good. |

I think it's a pretty realistic concern that Burke trades our potential lotto pick for Nash... |

I think Reimer has potential, and shouldnt be given up on because of his age/experience so far...and truly think that behind a legit starter he could become a good starter himself down the road, or a great backup. Eitehr way, this team needs a starter, more than a centerman. |
