How convenient. Carlyle takes the hit for Nonis' complete and utter failings as a GM.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. Team sucks? Blame the coach.
Not saying I disagree with the move, but there should have been two heads rolling under the chopping block today, not just one.
im sure Suter may have played a wee part in that.
If the Leafs spent their time refuting every horsecrap article written about the organization and its players by this poisonous local media, they'd have to create an entirely new department to do so.
The fact you give any credence to the Bill Watters' and Dave Feschuk's of the world tells me everything I need to know about your ability to filter out the noisy nonsense generated by the windbags in this town. I bet you were a Howard Berger fan, too?

I already replied regarding this. Leafs pretty much accepted that what was written in Feschuck's article was true.
I don't like Feschuk. Not one bit. But Leafs accepted those allegations.
I don't like Cox, Simmons, Berger, even Siegel. Heck, let me simplify, I'd only read what James Mirtle writes among all Leafs reporters.
Point here was about the message, not the messenger. And the Leafs acknowledged the validity of that message.
I have followed his career quite closely since he was drafted. I also heard similar narratives about the current Goals leader and a future HOFer who were also driven from Boston.
It's funny how easily some of you buy into these narratives that are perpetuated by "media insiders" who are looking to do nothing more but maintain a connection with the current management group.
So what's the plan? Go interim for the rest of the year and hope Babcock becomes available for multi-millions?

Next time, present forward actual logical points rather than attacking someone's fandom or making up theories.
We should trade Reimer to Minny.
I know they were talking to us last deadline about him.
That would make sense. Just hoping the powers that be think things through....not exactly a slam dunk.Interim until the end of the season and then see how it went and who's available.
Pretty simple to me.

Future what? Lets see how long mr Streaky can stay hot down in Dallas before we label him anything.
Thing is, you dont hear much negative talk about players in general. The league and the media is rather conservative that way. But Phil has since he was 17 years old and first came in to the spot light been surrounded by rumours and even players and coaches saying he is difficult to work with. That he is selfish and lazy.
And here we are, 10 years later and the same things are being said again. A leopard does not change his spots. I doubt mr Dallas will change his either and will have a career of ups and downs and him disappearing when the going gets tough.
Parise's team is doing worse than kessel's team, and he's surrounded by suter koivu and Vanek.
I'm sure that has nothing to do with them adding Suter.
im sure Suter may have played a wee part in that.
To be fair. Parise did captain a team to Stanley Cup Finals.
For now, I'd be happy if Kessel can take Leafs to playoffs in a full regular season. Too much to ask for?
Holy crap these radio guys are seriously screaming at one another over whether Shanahan or Nonis is more responsible for the firing.
Is the season over?
Minnesota had missed the playoffs 4 years in a row before Parise arrived, have not missed it since.
Parise > Kessel
