Freak By Night Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 The worst-kept secret in the country. Article here.The Leafs aren't far from turning things around. A few key signings this summer, and some improvement from their younger players, and Maurice at the helm, they'll be contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Those words echo our daily, hourly and by-the-minute hockey talk here...though it was pretty much a given that Maurice would be at the helm next season... Couldn't agree more with you FBN...the Leafs finally have young blood and about 24 million to play around with as they signed many to one season contracts saying it was "their plan" all along ...time will tell... Personally I'd like to see Domi & Prima Donna McCabe gone and with a couple of solid additions they will be a contender for sure...the last nine games of the season gave me something to look forward to next season as long as they don't go fuggin' up the recipe...

can-o-phish Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Well, if you pulled up stats on coaches in the league you'd get pretty much the same diversity... It's all in the "match" and Maurice has already been coach to many of the new young Leafs that hopefully will be seeing more ice time... Oh, and thanks for the tees AD...I'll wear them proudly as I watch the Leafs next season!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Watching the press conference now and it's official...Maurice is the new head coach...more than happy to see him fill this role as Ferguson basically inherited Quinn; he didn't really pick Quinn and I'm not saying Quinn was a bad coach just that there's more of a new feeling of putting together a team...

Booche Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Truthfully, it is only fair to give John Ferguson Jr a shot at building 'his' team. I never would want to miss out on all the potential hilarity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
