[CrazedArabMan]

Edit: Dang it why did I even post in here, I thought it said playoff thread. Oh well we'll be here in about a week or so anyways.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Come on Leafs.

I just want to see what will happen when they win the lottery.

If Dallas won it..

McDavid
Seguin
Spezza
Eakin

and all we got out of the Brian Burke era was Tyler Bozak? Well, there's Nazem Kadri who Burke tried to trade multiple times.. and Grabovski who was already there.

 

[Zod the Bear]

6.5%. Believe.

 

[zroid]

It is kinda incredible that San Jose has 7 more ROW than Colorado, but 1 point fewer.

 

[Marvie_3]

Reserving my seat now. Predophiles in 5.

 

[eyeless]

McDavid
Seguin

i realize really that if basically any team that isn't below us in the standings wins i'm gonna be annoyed, and i think it's inevitable that a team above us is gonna win

philly with mcdavid? you already have giroux fuck that. colorado? you pieces of shit already have tons of top 3 picks. san jose? dallas? KINGS? BOSTON? a team that's already decent shouldn't get mcdavid. the new lottery odds are ok for every other year but not this one, mcdavid should go to a team that sucks now so they can rise.

Shhhh embrace the lineup:

O'reilly-Duchene-Iginla
Landeskog-McDavid-MacKinnon
Tanguay-Hishon-McGinn
Everberg-Mitchell-McLeod

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Here's how we save the team.

We draft McDavid. We put him on defense. Team saved.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Leafs-GAF we made it!!

9.5% believe

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Start the Parades.

@DamoSpin reported last night Leafs clean house - Dave Nonis, Peter Horachek, Steve Spott, Chris Dennis + Rick St Croix all fired.

 

[Foggy]

6% is a nice even number. That'll do.

Remembering those halcyon days when Leafs-GAF was rooting for the BJs. They finished 21 points ahead of the Leafs.

Will hunker down here and marvel at the rest of Playoff-GAF convince each other that their own team is gonna lose.

 

[zroid]

holy shit what's happening

I was doing some stuff and apparently Nonis is gone?

 

[lamaroo]

They're all gone zroid, they can't hurt you anymore.

After that miraculous circus Tabris put on years ago it's a wonder anyone roots for anything around here now. We're nothing if not superstitious. But only about sports! Anywhere else and its nonsense.

Everyone's gone. The assistant coaches were also fired.

From the TSN article:

Assistant GM Kyle Dubas and Director of Player Personnel Mark Hunter will share GM duties on an interim basis.

[zroid]

I'm glad Staios is staying on board. All indications are that he's a quality piece of the organization.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

The first year Boston has Sacco on staff and they miss the playoffs for the first time in how long? :lol

 

[Cake Boss]

Meanwhile in Edmonton

 

[bonesmccoy]

It happened.

It should have happened last year.

But it finally happened.

 

[zroid]

It happened.

It should have happened last year.

But it finally happened.

look on the bright side

if it happened last year we might not have gotten a top 5 pick. Marner/Strome/Hanifin are way better than any other plausible result this season!

Hell I said near the beginning of the year that I would like a playoff berth even if it was hollow and PDO-driven UNLESS Leafs got a top 5 pick (something I thought impossible in October)

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Meanwhile in Edmonton

Yep, another year of having to deal with these clowns. I will not care about this joke of a franchise until the old boys club gets the boot.

 

[Merguson]

It should have happened last year.

But it finally happened.

Assuming the Globe & Mail article was true about Shanahan going to the MLSE board in April 2014 and asking to tear the roster down which the board said to give the current group a chance.

I think that probably extended to key people in Nonis and Carlyle. Carlyle was let go in December despite being in a playoff position.

Nonis is let go as soon as the season is over.

The NHL has new compensation rules which if you're poaching executives from other teams, you give up a 2nd if the hiring is in-season, a 3rd if it's in the off-season. I think the timing plays into that.

 

[zroid]

the scouts are getting purged now

this is good

 

[Samyy]

These Shanaplans are so good
Now don't pick Crouse you stupid fucks!

 

[Merguson]

What if..

the scouts were rioting against Shanahan's plans to draft Crouse

and Shanahan got rid of those who dared to challenge his decision?

WJCs is over? Okay. Fuck the kids. Time to fire Carlyle.

The NHL season is over? Okay. Fuck the playoff coverage. Time to fire... everyone.

 

[Samyy]

[Quick]

Tankaku worked!

Shanahankaku!

Damien Cox says 18 scouts expected to be dismissed.

It's a damn bloodbath.

 

[Razorskin]

Leafs' table at the draft is going to be so empty.

 

[DopeyFish]

Leafs' table at the draft is going to be so empty.

They fired the table too

 

[zroid]

[Samyy]

All replaced by a nice spreadsheet hopefully!

 

[Merguson]

I hear you were hired and fired by Shanahan. Can you confirm?

Also, the scouts firings is coming from Mark Hunter, apparently.

EDIT: Dave Morrison, Director of Amateur Scouting stays.

I can confirm that shanahan is a handsome man

 

[zroid]

EDIT: Dave Morrison, Director of Amateur Scouting stays.

Hmmmm... odd. I guess Hunter must know what he's doing there since amateur scouting is his bread & butter.
