No he didn't lace them up. He drew on the chalk board what they were supposed to do on the PP. How did that work in the playoffs?

or the PP coach did that

Excuse #7, who hired that PP coach, who did the PP coach report to? Did the coach have the balls to say "hey - we've got a dynamic offense but our PP is pure poop, why?"

Keefe wasn’t the PP coach.

He can ultimately tell his assistant to try new strategies but Boucher ran it, he drew the plays up.

Boston played them really tight. Other option is dump and chase and sadly we dont have many peeps on the PP that can excel there outside of JT. and sadly his chase is a slower chase

Wish List:

Berube
Boudreau
Evason
Gio (D coach)

D:

Zadorov
Pulock
Edmundson

FW:

Jenner

Berube is the odds on favourite.

Can't really complain. Keefe was paid 1.9 million on his last deal a season. Berube, I think he won with the blues, will easily cash in in Toronto.

Toronto is definitely a place to go to cash in as a support staff.

Berube worries me. Caught lightning in a bottle one season. Rest is meh and players didnt seem too upset when he was canned. and the leafs dont have any remotely like ROR or Pietrangelo

I don't hate Keefe. He's a decent coach. It was just time. As a Dubas loyalist, he was the last bullet in the chamber before upper management gets the ax. The Leafs need a coach with a winning pedigree. Marner needs to be moved before free agency on July 1st. It gives the Leafs some cap space to fill some holes. I would prefer Marner be moved for younger players with term, and draft capital. Use the $10.9M plus Brodie's $5M to rebuild the right side of the defense. The goaltending with Woll and a couple of journeymen backups should fit the bill. This team doesn't need a rebuild, but a restructure. Tomorrow should be an interesting day to see where this team is heading.

Because it’s Toronto. We’ve seen it numerous times in Pittsburg but it’s good when they do it. Or if MacKinnon does it it’s great leadership.

I hate the Toronto media.

How has it been? Any more seizures. I know they identified the area, what is the plan now to "fix" it?

Nice timing, I was just passing back on.

It’s gone decent, no seizures since the SEET down treatment at the end. Still learning about it but the sounds of popping bubbles in the insula/insular cortex… man oh man that made the head spin like crazy at times

I'm glad that you're out and so far no major issues. I've never met you in person, but you seem to be a decent type of fellow. I'm hoping that you have full recovery and get your life moving in the best direction. Cheers, my friend.

So is popping the (air?) bubbles part of the treatment? Do you have electrodes in there doing this?

He won a cup with a team that shouldn’t have won. They were always a middle of the pack team quality wise.

He spent almost 6 seasons there and won a cup.

Downplaying his success is silly.

And what the (frank), the leafs most certainly have players like ROR. Matthews is on another planet.

London Knights game 1 final on TSN

5-0 and Cowan 5 points.

Still another period to go.

I still think that he needs one more year in Junior. He has the high end skill, but needs an NHL body. He just needs to get bigger physically.

Haahahaha. TSN announcer says Cowan has been impressive but Marner had 44 points one playoff run. Color guys says yes but they are different players. Cowan shows up when it matters most.

Gallant can't seem to hold a job down after he gets hired.

Mclelland is OK but he was basically Sheldon Keefe in his time in SJ.

Woodcroft? lol

Boucher? lol

Sullivan? He is not leaving

It is Berube and if you were a betting man I would suggest you bet on it.

Takes over midyear and team gets hot and wins a cup. In full seasons made it 2nd round twice, otherwise no playoffs or first round exit.
