Probably hubris. Guys who follow the Leafs really closely say that this is a front office that sees itself - especially after 12/13 - as the smartest in the business. Hence their incredulity that fans and some media people would think that there are coaches out there who'd do a better job with the team than Carlyle has.
Because it's difficult for people to admit that they've been wrong and have been behind the curve. You're giving anyone that wants you fired some very good ammunition; ie, you admit you didn't know what you were doing for months.

So 5 goals 10 assists is all it takes to be a second line wing in Vancouver?
That reminds me, what line does Clarkson play on these days? By these days I obviously don't mean the playoffs, I didn't forget what team signed him.

Seeing a lot of stuff with Lavy to the Perds.
How could such an amazing playmaker not be on the 2nd line?

That roster is the same old, same old. I'd rather see them try for the #1 pick this year.
Saw that as well, rumored to have been seen at their arena.

Wait are we talking Kassian or Burrows?
Official, per the Perds.
Nashville Predators ‏@PredsNHL 7m
. @PredsNHL announce hiring of Peter Laviolette as 2nd head coach in team history to multi-year contract

Looks like it's officially announced.
This is why the Leafs can't leave Carlyle hanging in the wind too long. A position has already been filled. Let him know his future this week.

Lavy confirmed to the Nashville. Update on the phone just now.
YYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

Laviolette apparently was heavily involved in recruiting Vinny back in June so maybe he can go to Nashville, too.

If Carlyle is kept, then they're going to have to trade a few players....players who don't work well with his system. It most likely means Kulemin is gone too.
Kessel, Kadri, Lupul, Gardiner for Florida's first overall, Bjugstad, Upshall.

Since Trotz wasn't officially sacked this will make him officially a free agent. Surprised really that Lavy jumped on a job before the WCs. Hopefully Tallon follows suit and new a HC shortly.

I wonder how Lavy will change up the style in Nashville. They don't really have the most high octane offense so it will be interesting to see how they play in a more free form system.
I could see them making a run at a guy like Moulson in free agency.

Nope, drive for 9th will be in full effect.
Hey the drive for 9th in the East would probably still be good enough for bottom 10 in the league!
Connor Brown named OHL player of the year.

Off-season sure is gonna be fun when we don't sign any defense and Bigras gets put back in the minors for another year.
Yes, I imagine the Leafs will join you by signing some overpaid 3rd liner instead of fixing the defence.
wooo
Do you know if he's gotten dressed for the Marlies yet? I know they signed him but I was hoping to see him in these playoffs too.
It is very unlikely any of the OHL players that signed ATO's (Verghage, Herzog, Gauthier or Brown) will see any time at all. I think they all have shots at the team next year and this is just to give them any idea of how the team plays, facilities, etc.
Playoffs aren't a great time to have rookies playing their first games.

It is time to acquire the Jarnkrok, because we need all the centers.
But seriously, it would be great if Lavy still wanted Vinny and Vinny still likes Lavy's approach enough to waive.

Hmmm. Bobo was on air saying that Tallon was waiting to see if Carlyle was toasted in TOR. If Bobo is saying it...
Ducks-GAF tell me about his time as head of the flock.

Woah, maybe we'll be able to beat them now that they won't be playing defense.

Russian goaltending looking set for the future.
Now if they could only develop elite defensemen.
Western Canada would like to have a word with you. If this season has shown anything it's that we can beat the Leafs both in being good AND being bad.
