Now I understand why Shanny took so long evaluating the team... That is something the previous regimes did not do, jumped the gun, and plugged holes like that thinking this was a playoff team.
How can anyone even think that lineup just needs an "on the fly retool"... That set us back a good decade.
The phenomenon that was the 2008 Leafs is exactly what I see unfolding before our eyes with the Canucks... They are just nowhere near good enough, but are adding plugs to fill holes and are simply going to be too good to be bad, and too bad to be good.
It's kind of funny how little actual hockey knowledge someone like Burke must have had when he thought that 2010 team was going to be a playoff contender.
