Cataclaw Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wow did this just happen moments ago? About time, but won't change anything for the Laffs until ownership/management conflicts change too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the 99 year old Fletcher is in next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan24 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I am going to miss JFJ and his brutal management. I was hoping he was going to be there forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mont Royale Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 however I feel sorry for the guy for the way it was handled. Much agreed. Peddie is classless. And the whole organization is one leaky ship when it comes to the media - the status of Fletcher's talks with the Leafs was being updated by the minute, it seems. :nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why they never win, you cannot build a team around the public's opinion. THe organization is a joke, the fans are a joke and have lowered themselves to telling me that they are more succesful because they make more money than the Habs. They will mess this up like they have for 41 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexstream Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 As much as I hate the Leafs, I'm glad that this is happening and I hope that it will help them turn things around a bit... For the best (and worst) of the Habs- Leafs rivalry. I feel it way more fulfilling to win vs a good Leafs squad than against that actual pukable bunch. It's also way more humiliating to lose vs them right now than it would be if they were a strong team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smon Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 They leak everything to the media to gauge public reaction. No kidding, look at this gem from TSN: Maple Leafs head coach Paul Maurice left the ice during practice Tuesday morning to 'get a whistle.' He was seen talking to Peddie before returning to practice. Wow, only in Toronto. Could they have made it any more obvious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have any interest in a rookie GM this time. Neither Messier or Roy will be on the short list. They plan on trying to buy a GM from a successful team. There is no cap on GM salaries, so I am waiting for them to pay some incredible amount to steal a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ridiculous writer. The article he wrote specifically mentions that the Leafs will not hire a rookie GM, and then he suggests Patrick Roy. Never in a million years.
