Confirmed with Link: Locker Room Exit Interviews Monday May 6 (Players and Keefe) + Pelley/Shanny/Tre on Friday VIDEO LINK PG 57

[Dekes For Days]

Basically he said this group will never get it done and it’s time to make some changes. So, what should have been done years ago

You drive for show (regular season) and putt for dough (playoffs). Seems obvious he now accepts like most of us that we can't putt.

What seems obvious is that people are pretending his comments mean whatever they want them to mean. Which itself is tied to one of the actual problems.

 

[Tak7]

It happened this year

No, he didn't - he missed 1 game this year for a lower body injury, that they later said was his knee.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Or following league-mandated protocols

Well ....

can you get me a list of players who missed playoff games for non-contact concussions ? Any teams with two players ON THE SAME TEAM, SAME SERIES with this issue ?

Sketchy medical thinking by the Medical staff.

What do you want them to mean?

 

[HamiltonNHL]

No, he didn't - he missed 1 game this year for a lower body injury, that they later said was his knee.

I think he played (didn't miss the game) but played poorly with "the virus" and it was around they time that almost every Leaf player had "the virus".

 

[BTO]

He sure comes across to me as one of those corporate grifter types. Doesn't even look up when he speaks.

"corporate grifter" is redundant.

 

[hamzarocks]

I'm not generally scraping through injury reports, but I can't ever recall players missing playoff games for Migranes and illness like we saw with Matthews and Willy. Just feels like there's something there or someone messed up

Matthews didnt miss for illness

He apparently got ill for Game 3 (played through it) and then Game 4 got concussed in game 4 and missed gsmes 5 and 6

 

[Tak7]

I think he played (didn't miss the game) but played poorly with "the virus" and it was around they time that almost every Leaf player had "the virus".

He wasn't one of the ones that missed games when it was going through the Leafs room

Yes - players have missed time for concussions all the time.

Love a Simpson reply……

 

[HockeyVirus]

Shannahan doubles down that he is going to make a huge change basically.

I took it as marner is 100% gone, or maybe something more insane like trading AM

AM will be a Leaf until he either is no longer an NHL player or refuses to sign here. Insanity to suggest the team ever gets better trading Matthews.

Also not sure how anyone can think he is the problem outside of generally just "Leafs bad" stuff you read on main boards

 

[The Masters]

watched it again

10000% they making BIG CHANGES

lucky we got Brad. Seems like a straight shooter. I hope Politican MPP Shanahan stays out of it. Moron

 

[rumman]

I don't want more shanny....

Other than Craig Jsnney’s ex wife who does……..

 

[BTO]

Btw, Rags are f***ing impressive.

Yeah they are, but they did win two games in OT and I could have beaten Washington.

 

[rumman]

Summing up the presser:

Pelley: "Shanny's my boy!"
Shahahan: "I've changed baby, really I have, don't let me go."
Treliving: <Adjusts glasses> "Well I didn't sign half the cap to 4 guys, I guess we'll see"

Condensed recap is pretty damn accurate……

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Yes - players have missed time for concussions all the time.

…. After contact

That’s not what happened here

Not a romantic guy,I gather

Agreed…..

I get the sense Tre realizes he works for a complete moron

Agreed……

 

[Leafs98]

Why do all these leaders assume playoffs next year. Be a bit humble, the division is getting better. First things first. Dont jinx it.

 

[Buds17]

This is such a tired argument.

They lose money on the Argos, Marlies, TFC.
They spend on 5 (yes 5) Asst GM's and 2 Special Advisors to the GM
They employ 8 Asst and Specialty Coaches
They employ 9 Player Development staff
They give money away on top notch medical staff, training, practice, and nutritional facilities.

They clearly don't mind spending money.

Paying Keefe not to work for them is different than paying those who actually are contributing to the organization. Firing Keefe can probably be rationalized since MLSE couldn't have liked having fewer home gates during this year's playoffs.

 

[Cleetus]

Btw, Rags are f***ing impressive.

Lafrenière has been really good, Im loving his game

 

[rumman]

Pelley didn't strike me as a super impressive guy, sounds like your run of the mill corporate puppet.

Shaking like he has parkinson’s……..

 

[BTO]

So what's your theory? I have one but I'm not allowed to say.

Man now I need to hear it!

 

[aingefan]

Couldn't fix broken skate blades fast enough.

Or the holes in the sticks.

No mention of any injury concerns for Mitch.

Read into that what you will.

Yeah the lingering effects of high ankle sprains are legit.

 

[Warden of the North]

They are, but Treliving didn't go out of his way to mention them as he did Willy and AM34.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Pretty much everything. He looked broken, and ready to twist the knife that he stabbed into this era's potential last year. No vision forward. No conviction. Just frustration and confusion, mixed with enough apathy to really destroy things.

You seem to not be listening to what he actually said again.

This era has no potential anymore. Not as it currently constructed with core 4.

Do you think these guys are still kids? I don’t know how many more first round failures it would take for someone like yourself to acknowledge it will never work.
