Kanada Kev Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Nope, me neither. Way too nice a day out (now that sun is up until 8pm. Friends coming over for BBQ, drinking, tunes, etc. Wayyy more fun Nursing a hangover tomorrow in front of the PIT v PHI game though i'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 CBC should show the Wash/Fla game instead. No way they'd take out a TOR v MTL game, even if it doesn't matter too much. Now, IF Carolina hadn't BLOWN it last night, then hell ya, the WAS v FLA game would be wayyyy more critical (can you believe that CAR had 47 shots on net and 9 power plays to FLA's 17 shots on net and 0 power plays? WOW). Talk about choke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 This thread should be renamed Go Leafs Go - Farm Forum.AHAHAHA.On the flipside of a horrible season Leafs fans, you can follow the Marlies as they challenge for the Calder Cup! I know it's a small consolation, but it's heartening to know that at least the organization has some sort of promising players in the farm system. The Marlies were a real powerhouse this year, and should be considered favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 In other news, Paul Maurice is a moron.http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=233757&hubname="This is not a statement on the media but there's a fair amount of negative tone to (coverage of) the Toronto Maple Leafs."Whaaaaat? Negative tone about a shit team? Say it ain't so.On Sundin: "Maybe now, more than ever, it's more important that he's here. Because of the example that he brings, going forward with younger players coming in and so much of a change, you've got one man in that room who knows exactly how to carry himself as the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs."My feeling on him is that he's more valuable to this franchise today than maybe at any other point because he has to be the light for this team going forward."Way to go company man. Keep on delaying a proper re-build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 The "negative tone" is COMPLETELY justified. Snap out of it Maurice, you're better than that.Sundin can be of value to the team next year as long as he's willing to play for under his expected salary on the open market and plays for less time to give others a chance.

AD Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I really wanted to let this thread die, but the column today by Feschuk in The Star was too good to not get posted.Some tips to help Maurice on his job huntAs condescending, self-satisfied pretenders go, Paul Maurice must be near the top of the list of pro sports coaches of recent memory. So welcome aboard, Coach: You'll fit right in as a member of the media.That's just a guess of the direction the rink-wise genius's career is headed once the long-awaited saviour of a Leafs general manager comes to town and cleans house. Or maybe it's just a gut feeling brought on by prolonged exposure to Maurice's post-failure mumbo-jumbo. When it comes to making the good old hockey game seem like rocket science, he's got it down to a science."It's easy to say, `Why do you stink?' That's now almost a sign of intelligence. If you can say something nasty about the Maple Leafs, you clearly know the game," said Maurice yesterday, delivering yet another lost season's post-mortem. "But we're in that environment, all things are wrong. The GM's gotta go. The coach has gotta go. The captain's gotta go. All the players gotta go. You gotta blow everything up ..."He said it as though he had a better idea, of course, as though none of this would be happening if the full scope of his intellect were ever unleashed on the NHL. And shame on the morons for not seeing the brilliance behind Maurice's three-year tenure as a head coach in Toronto, which includes exactly one playoff berth – with, ahem, the AHL Marlies – who were ousted in the first round a few years back.Our apologies, Coach, for perpetuating the insane idea that the 41-year championship drought now residing at 40 Bay St. is a national joke. And now that you'll almost certainly be preparing your resumé for circulation, here are a couple of tips in your impending job search. You might not want to mention that you've been head coach of NHL teams in 10 different seasons and that your teams have now missed the playoffs seven times. Leave out the bit about losing in the first round two other times. And go heavy on your nice run to the Cup final with the 2002 Hurricanes, when the Maurice era looked positively Bowman-esque.No matter how destitute the record, mind you, Maurice is a shoo-in to stay employed. He brings the bafflegab like he's presiding over his own hall of fame induction, and he does it rivetingly enough to put most of us thick-membraned media mumblers out of a gig.Yesterday, for instance, he spent some poignant moments spouting the hypotheticals the blind loyalists lap up ... that if Bryan McCabe hadn't gone down, and if his injury hadn't coincided with a rough-luck schedule ... that if the Leafs had eked out a few extra wins and if they'd squeaked into the first round ... well, then, certainly they'd have as good a chance as anybody in a playoff tournament that's, you know, "wide open."Call it a Leaf of logic. Nobody ever planned a Cup parade more eloquently on a route of if-onlys.Don't cry for Maurice, though. Yesterday he kept each and every one of his employment options open. Surely some GM will think he was classy for standing up for his players and his employer. Clearly some broadcast executive will note the quality of a cigarette-kissed baritone that ought to make McCown lay awake. And as for the way Maurice endorsed Mats Sundin's re-signing, who's to say he doesn't have future as an agent?"My feeling is he's more valuable to this franchise today than maybe at any other point," said Maurice of Sundin, "because he has to be the light for this team going forward."If it wasn't coming from the lips of a guy with a bright future on the sports-talk tube, it might have even been worth the standard 4 per cent commission.
