I saw something that was very very scary for the tanker hopefuls in the Philly game......
did anyone see that clip of Shanahan? He was at the edge of his seat hoping for leaf goals, and being disappointed after misses. It was video taped.
This tells me he too is an idiot. He's hoping they score...to win....to get a worse draft position? Does he not understand the cylce of mediocrity for the past 9 years? Does he not understand that being being 12 points back of a playoff spot in the era of 3 point games makes it impossible to make the playoffs? Does he not understand that his team has 25 losses and teams that have 30+ losses over the last 9 years probably have a 1% chance of making the playoffs? I can only recall of a few teams that have.
He doesn't have a clear vision of what's going on or what. What the heck is this mess? How can 70-80% of the fans sit back and accept the losing (for the greater purpose of finally drafting really high), but the President of the Club be as oblivious as a 10 year old boy just hoping for a win?
I just asked a million questions, but seeing that guy's reaction last night had me worried.
It's funny, most people seem to love Kadri and Rielly out of everyone. Well, both are the only 2 guys the leafs drafted themselves in the top 7 of the draft.
