Sheldon is a class act! I wish him well where ever he goes!! You guys are idiots for making light of it!!!!
Vancouver didn't play up to their usual standard that first game. They will improve. Goaltending and team defense — and overall readiness — was nowhere near the level they were at with Nashville. Their intensity, team press and work on faceoffs was excellent though, so that kind of made up for some of the failings. The idea that Edmonton lost rather Vancouver winning is a bit of a problem in this whole discussion. Edmonton got off to a poor start in October and November because they were vulnerable — both emotionally and because of holes in their lineup. Although they played well enough to make the playoffs, they still have some of those vulnerabilities. Not at all a given that Edmonton is the favorite in this series.
Go Canucks Go
Isn’t Jon Cooper available? I’d love to see that guy behind the Leafs bench.
You need to talk about what makes a Scotty Bowman or Fred Shero and why knowing which players to put on a line is so important and how saying at the end of last year that he still didn't know what the lines were disqualifies him as a top coach.
Truly think this show is awesome, great dialogue and not afraid to broach interesting subjects and not surface level conversation. I really wish Bourne wasn't on here though, guy has nothing to offer and is so corny. I don't know if that his schtick or if its real but its hard to listen to
Anyways very good show, thanks for the pod
Can't pay a player 11 mil just to help get you to the playoffs though.
IAM SAYING ITS “STUPID”
Same Old DUMBNESS with the Maple Leafs at Year End!!
FIRE THE COACH!!😂😂👏👏👍
Do you IDIOTS honestly think
“THE COACH” KEEFE….BABS….HORACHEK….CARLYLE and The Past ALL STAR COACHES PRIOR with ZERO RESULTS is the Problem??😂😂😂
NOW Your looking at BERUBE?😂
HE IS WORST THAN BABS!
ITS UPPER MANAGEMENT…..They finally dumped DUBAS but SHANAHAN & others are STILL THERE!!
FIRE THEM AS WELL!
Iam starting to think SHANAHAN has DIRT on the ROGERS FAMILY!😂
And I’am Positive MARNER being Traded just like KESSEL & KADRI will go on to WIN a Stanley Cup!😂😂
Whichever team eventually signs Marner will find themselves in the same poredicament as the Leafs: a 10 million plus player who under-performs in the playoffs.
Kyle Dubas was at the top of the thank you list.
Rumor in Finland: Jukka Jalonen🍁🏒👔
hyman, marchment, joshua, verhaege. didn't fit the Leafs mold.
It really miffs me that Shanahan only really speaks once a year. We don't know how much influence he has on roster decisions. If he has a lot or any input he should be a little bit more public facing. But instead he hides behind his GM and never speaks. Really baffling that he still has free reign to do whatever he wants and not have to answer for it.
Could see Keefe behind the bench in either Ottawa or LA next season. Maybe SJ – although not sure he would want that job.
Craig Simpson, BOOTLICKER supreme of MLSE!
Leafs hockey is drugs
So why does Rogers employ a sports commentator to broadcast Leafs games that absolutely hates talking about them. Like get Craig Simpson off the Leafs broadcasts already. Its clear he doesnt like the team.
Kyper only thing sassy here is your love for marner.
Need a coach, not for hockey players , but for hockey gods!
If the Leafs mgmt really are genuine in wanting to win a Stanley Cup take a page from the history of the Montreal Canadiens from the year they upset the record wrecking Boston Bruins of 1970-71.
They hired a INTERIM coach named Al McNeil. His approach was only aimed at winning a Stanley Cup.
He would use the regular season to train his team to play on any line with any players.
If a player did not produce he was benched or saw few minutes.
He just wanted enough points to make the playoffs. He wanted to teach the players how to play through adversity. He wanted to make the players uncomfortable all season long, he wanted his players to grow grit. He had no fixed lines, he evaluated his players during the regular season.
He was honest with his players about his approach. He told them he only wanted to have the players win the Stanley Cup.
Montreal made one trade for Frank Mahovolich and brought up a young big goaltender from college who played 6 games allowing only 9 goals.
He never played the Orr led Bruins.
Montreal won the series against Boston in 7 games on the road.
Dryden won the Conn Symth trophy and a Stanley Cup.
The French press forced Al McNeil to be replaced because he didn't speak French even though he guided his team to a Cup.
This could never work in Toronto, the fans don't want to go through the pain of a so so season to win a Stanley Cup
As a former Chicago fan hiring Quenneville would turn me away from Toronto as well.
Why not bring in Bieksa for Assistant with Guy to run the D?
With Coach Q, the questions are: what has he learned? Has he done the work? Has he spoken to Kyle Beach? If those questions can be answered, and answered well, then question then becomes how do we, as a culture and a society, view redemption? Do we really believe people can change? Do we believe in forgiveness and self improvement?
It’s a deep social question. If we want to be the type of society that people can make mistakes and learn and grow, and he has done the work, hire him.
If not, don’t. Not worth the headache.
If he’s done the work, I’m all for it.
It could be a bidding war for Berube,Brind amour, Gallant. I don't see Brad waiting too long to offer one of them a potential 3 year contract. Brad could also offer contracts to Domi and Eddy they had great playoff runs.
Keefe wrote that two years ago and has just been waiting to use it
The leaf's personnel can't handle Craig Berube lol way to soft that's why Keefe coddled them.. Berube would have them all crying in their pillows.
Hiring Mclellen would be replacing Keef with another Keef, remember that always awesome Sharks team that never could take the next step?
Every other coach left T. Without winning a cup an they all did alright.
Where in the hell do see this as being sappy he`s being honest and was a great leader. Yes i agree a new voice is needed but come on guys he did what he could with what he had to work with 4 effin guys took up an awful lot of cap space that some on that could have been used on 4 or 5 million dollars players with heart and grit.
"His version of heaven" is the best way to describe that video.
TML announce Sheldon’s firing and say the will “immediately” start looking for a new coach.
They made no search efforts anytime before they fired Sheldon? Really? 😂
That’s hilarious.
My guess is they had multiple conversations with multiple candidates during the regular season. Thats just a guess. I am first to admit, I know zip about running an NHL team. However, to think or believe the search for a new coach started after Sheldon was relieved of his coaching duties is naive, maybe even silly.
The Leafs are owned by corporations that put DEI ahead of winning! They are ALL about fairness, kindness, no pressure they put feelings ahead of WINNING! This needs to change, you can never beat teams that only care about winning with this woke culture. The Leafs need a culture change! All about toughness, competitiveness, and winning every battle.
It's the Shanaplan – Not the Keefe, or Dubas plan.
Not dealing with the actual problem.
Perfect, keep Toronto-ing.
