[Jean_Jacket41]

He should have been fired last offseason after the collosal collapse of the Leafs late in the season to miss the playoffs.

Burke made such a mistake with that trade. As a lot of us said when the trade happend. kessel is a piece you add to a contender to put you over the top. He is not a piece you add as a foundation stone to build on.

Such a bad trade for the leafs even though they got the best player in the deal (only player) at the time of the deal.

 

[RedBruin]

Mediocre roster, mediocre results, not the coaches' fault.

@ Kessel calling the reporter an idiot.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

Was Carlisle a burke guy? Cant remember.

 

[dredeye]

Please get Bylsma and not MacLean.
For my personal enjoyment.

Their suppose to have their eye on Babcock and are believed to be waiting out the season to make a run at him. Which really doesn't make sense as why even bother firing Carlyle if that is the plan

At the time they did but I'd say Segs is better than him now and you add Hamilton to that and it's pretty ugly.

They aren't going to get Babcock though so they might as well look for another coach. Coaches don't just up and leave when their contracts run out, especially to go to trainwreck teams while leaving legitimate quality NHL teams. Toronto fans are just delusional and think everyone wants to end up there. In reality, only David Clarkson wants to end up back in Toronto.

but at the time it was still a mistake as he was trying to rebuild that team and making Kessel your foundation stone is beyond stupid as a GM.

The Leafs have axed Randy Carlyle. Well, they're still only one point ahead of our Bruins, not good.

what did the reporter say? I can't listen to anything at work.

Kessel was asked whether or not he is a difficult player to coach

Thanks oh that is awesome.

 

[ODAAT]

Thanks oh that is awesome.

it was hilarious, not sure which reporter asked it, probably Steve Simmonds

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

yep indeed

Makes sense.. I would have fired him too if I was the new GM

 

[RedBruin]

Or Cox. Which makes Phil's assessment pretty accurate.

Something along the lines of "did you play a role in Carlyle's firing?"

 

[Shaun]

phil come back you can blame it all on clode

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Funny how the 3 teams that decided to turn soft (Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia) are playing like absolute ********* and are getting torn apart by the fans.

It was Dave Feschuk, who wrote the preseason story saying Kessel wouldn't follow coach's directions.

Leafs’ Kessel not hot on Spott’s breakout strategy: Feschuk

Among them, Spott was charged with devising a new breakout play for a team that has long struggled to get the puck out of its own end. Spott thought he’d hit on an effective strategy — until, that is, he shared the plan with Leafs leading scorer Phil Kessel. When Kessel voiced displeasure, Spott discovered a harsh reality of life in the NHL. In some corners of the league, and apparently in Leafland, a coach’s learning curve involves bending to the desires of star players.

 

[ODAAT]

Or Cox. Which makes Phil's assessment pretty accurate.

Not sure how many scrums Cox gets involved in these days but I agree with what your saying

Not fair to place all blame on Phil, nor would it be fair for Phil to assume none either

solid croutons on Feschuk, tired of reporters not being able to ask blunt questions without having to hear it from a player unless it`s a guy like Cox who does nothing but try and stir it up, don`t view Feschuk like that
