I love it,, love that saying good one
Bumpkin with the Hot Take of the day:
“Leafs need to hire the best guy out there”! What a comment! Intellectual genius there aren’t ya Bumpkin!
Every time Bumpkin opens his stupid mouth Mirtle has to correct him!
Bumpkin: Leafs has three good picks in ‘18. Mirtle: well what about so and so and so and so and so and so? Bumpkin: “well I give you that”.
Here’s a hot take: hey Bumpkin, STFU! Think before you open your mouth! With any luck, we won’t hear a word out of your mouth for at least 5-6 months, maybe longer!
let them leave if you don't want to stay here GET OUT!!!!!!!
Lmao this dude is simple
Wes Clark when he was with Dubas in Toronto ate with those he would starve with, the results still no success in the playoffs.
Why wouldn't they trade or source trades before no trade no move clasues in some contracts come into effect.
FYI : The quote was used by Conor McGregor. The Director of Amateur Scouting has left the building. This is not a big deal, get over it. You can bet in an organization like the Leafs, every draft decision is rinsed through about 2 dozen people before a pick is made. I swear Dubas lives rent free in their collective heads.
Why is it that all the Toronto media and fans can’t see that Brendan Shanahan is the problem with the Maple Leafs. He’s the one who pulls the strings. You can poo poo Dubas all you want but he didn’t have final say! I guess since the team hasn’t won since 1967, you’re always looking for scapegoat!
Shanahan has to be fired ASAP for any hope of TML ever getting the cup!
He is worse then when Ballard was here!
Everyone jumping ship just proves Shanahan has been over stepping his position and forcing the management to do what he THINKS will win , which lets just face it is wrong!
Now he’s going to a place where the Dufas will order for him and eat most of the order. His job will be easy in the Pitt…only draft 155 pounders that can skate! DUUUUUUUUUUFAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!😅
i always just imagine a scene out of Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp with the monkeys hanging from chandeliers n sht, and brendan shanahan and the center of it picking at his anus and eating what he finds.
JD Bunkis is such a simpleton.
Damn the bots are super obvious there SN.
In my opinion, Wes Clarke is a very honest guy. He worked at 100 percent for his entire contract for two reasons. A) It’s who he is and secondly, if he didn’t, who would ever trust him if he ever leaves Pittsburgh. It speaks to his integrity. And the Leafs had already hired his replacement a year ago.
It's becoming more and more clear that Dubas was the pivot man in the barrel every week.
Wes Clark seemed very fishy in his last Leafs interview. You can never trust a Dubas boy. Like Spezza, Wes is never welcomed back.
Wes leaving means nothing. Shanhan has this year only to fix the mess he made with his then conjoined twin Kyle. Ballard had the goose that laid the golden egg and all he could focus on was how he could roast the goose. Nothing is as bad as the Ballard days. Brendan and Brad will work it out sometime before next springs trade deadline. Or my name isn't Pieth Kelly.
Why is nobody talking about the Shannaplan anymore?
Bridge burning statement on the way out. Not very smart.
If they want to win the cup they hafe to get rides of mathews
JD Bunkis is annoying. First time listening to him and he had zero willingness to listen to Mirtle’s POV
The guy is a weasel , just like Dubas
If you can’t find the biggest idiot in the room, it’s probably you! Just saying
I would say give us the bag for Brady but it wouldnt be enough.
JD Douchebag strikes again
This mess is on shanny and Brad. The teams worse, no one wants to play in Toronto. Fire everyone now for the love of god
Wes Clark’s outgoing post is juvenile – it’s not a good look for him
JD, most hosts let their guests get in a word. The constant talking whenever the guest is speaking is just disrespectful. You can tell that people don't want to be on this podcast.
