fish_fishburn Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Or maybe hire Tiger Williams and Wendle Clark as new assistant coaches. Wendle was a one of my favorite players when he played. To bad he was on the wrong team. The roster they have now is way to soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 As I have said before,we have only one ?,maybe star player on the team. The richest team, Who still thinks this team will go the long haul?I'm a leafs fan,but people stop going to the games.That may be the only way we get management to spend there money the RIGHT way. This team will not make the playoffs again IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 what ever happened to the philosophy when your getting a whipping on the score board to just grab a hold of someone and pound the piss out of them. I was waiting for that.......especiallly with so many leaf fans in our building to play for. Just never happened. I think they felt a little life when it went to 4-2 at the end of the 2nd and put the fists on hold. When they went back down 4 goals in the 3rd.......i think it was just too late and they just wanted to get outta there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Kessel and JVR are first line players on just about every team in the NHL. Komarov would bring value to every team in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 you're right about that. crazy thing is, I'm still entertained watching them. they win, they lose, either way I still enjoy watching the hockey. however, I cannot stand what Rogers has done to the intermissions, etc. strombogofuhkoffalous needs to go, lol.

DRIFTER_016 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Surprised they didn't hire Oprah for that position. She knows how to interview. Probably knows more about hockey than Snuffleupagus as well!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Carlyle is old school and he'd like to bench guys who are obviously not buying into the system but where does he start. Half the team would be benched by the middle of the first period many games. Jack Gardiner has a million dollar set of skills but a five cent brain when it comes to hockey sense. He hates getting hit and he dumps the puck anywhere he can. I'd trade him or put him in the Marlies before he's ruined. Somebody said Phaneuf is a fourth or fifth defman and that's dead on. As his ice time goes up his errors increase exponentially. I think he was on for nearly every goal in Buffalo. If he's hurt he better say something before the fans get on him.

fish_fishburn Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Its about how they spend the money. There is no issue about the team not spending the money. First thing they should do is not offer any contracts where the player wants a no trade clause. You want a no trade clause go play somewhere else. A lot of the problems have come from these G.M.'s spending money like drunken sailors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some REAL first and second line players,grant you we have a couple,You tell me how other teams get free agents?,and why the Leafs would sign P-nough for that crappy contract?,.I may be a bigger supporter than you,but this is reality,and I'm afraid it's not going to change any time soon Bill.Did you hear there were tickets available for tonights game?,When has that ever happened.All over the radio,it's time the fans speak up finally ,JMO Bill,don't get to caught up in it but I see the same ole same ole.

BillM Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Who cares about Dion, he's a D man and does a good job playing against the best lines in the league. I'm all for replacing him, but at what cost and who are you going to get that's going to take those minutes? And then, who's even an available FA to take that spot? I would love to see the Leafs actually get a leader out on the ice, because that's what they need. Even if the C is slapped on Dions jersey, he's not doing that job. Hell, I'd rather see it on Komarov, at least he gets the entire team going. Also, it's been 18 games, I wouldn't toss in the towel just yet. If it wasn't for a complete end of the season slump they would have easily made it into the playoffs last year, easily. So many people want a fire sale, trying to replace the entire team at once. Give Shannie and the new kid from the Sault a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) yep. c on komarov. ( the response from Cherry would be worth it alone) hit harder more often. fight. go back to 2012, punish physically and let the skilled players do there thing. leave bernier in net unless he is hurt get wendall clark and dougie involved somehow, player developement?

BillM Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 If there was anyone I would have liked to see them keep around it would have been Gary Roberts. I also liked the team more when they had the big boys out there (Orr, Mclaren) and they punished you.. To me, the team that lost against Boston in that awful game 7 has been my fav so far. I loved their toughness and style of play back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed they have lost the one thing that worked for them,PUNCH,surprisingly the coaches don't see it ,or don't want to go that route.What's another year ,right?.Shanny should or better do something ,or the Leafs fans will even express more of their their disgust.Rightfully so IMO.
