Was a very fair question, especially for Simmons, that Shanny didn’t really answer. But that was expected
Randomredditor416
Damn that was a good one. Love how he made a point of mentioning the last 8 years. What did Shanny say in response??

these are the questions I’m glad Steve is there. he’s obviously an inflammatory piece of garbage that’s burnt any and all goodwill he has with MLSE, but because of that, he has nothing to lose when asking questions other members may not want to ask
if I’m remembering right, Siegel asked a somewhat similar question regarding the core 4 and if MLSE still believes they can do it

Does not redeem him in the slightest if I’m being honest.

Simmons may be a tire fire but THESE are the questions the media should be asking. Should have been asking for years. I get that the sheer volume of media in Toronto can make things difficult but honestly 99% of the time it’s all softball, coddling questions and commentary. Very very few of then have the balls to outright critique this team, it’s management and its players.

How can we expect Shanahan to change it when he hasn’t been able to nor willing to in 8 years.
Shanahan is the problem and so is ownership that doesn’t want to take big swings.
HeyMarty10thalready
He asks the tough questions

on leafs talk they said that simmons said this exact same question last year and Shanahan basically dismissed him like he’s an idiot, and this year, Shanahan had no response. Shanahan just collecting a paycheque now

This was a The Right Honourable Her Majesty’s Leader of the Official Opposition from the dispatch box during British Prime Minister’s Questions-style question. [Dude was totally channelling his inner Sir Keir Starmer ](https://youtu.be/JKA7yAaFcJs?si=bgmnORGKccCBg3tj&t=25)lol

I have no issues with Simmons latest article about Shanahan. Bravo!!! It needed to be said out loud. Shanahan absolutely has to go. They used Keefe to perfection to quiet the fans but now the real culprit must go.

What was the question? I can’t hear a thing.

As much as this fanbase hates Simmons, he’s one of the few who consistently asks the no-nonsense questions when times are good or bad.
CanadaEhAlmostMadeIt
I don’t necessarily think it’s the questions that Steve Simmons asks that have been bad… It’s the fact that he will ask those questions in an article and answer them himself in an often disjointed, personal attack with lack of consideration for tactic or circumstance.
I’m glad he’s asking questions, he’s just supposed to let other people answer them

Can someone lease post the main thought of the question? For some reason sound doesn’t work for me

People hate Simmons because he usually says what many think but are too afraid to say it. The piece on Marner being the Invisible Man, was 100% accurate. He may be a prick but he is not always wrong.

He’s the only reporter in Toronto not afraid of losing their jobs over actual reporting. Otherwise it’s a bunch of sycophants

The Capitals kept the same core for years until they could fill the holes and ended up with the Cup. It can be done.

People don’t want to say it but signing Tavares and trading Kadri was the worst thing this franchise did to itself. We need to trade Marner for a top tier goaltender or #1 RD to even begin to retool this roster. However I would wait for a new coach to have an opinion on what type of team we want to construct.
We have big changes coming to our blue line this summer

I don’t like SS, but he sure asks entertaining questions… like its his last day on the job…

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Excellent question though

I can’t believe that there are people who think shanahan is not the problem. How is anyone defending shanahan?
