@2luved@mirtle But the reason they didnt get 100pts has nothing to do w Mtl/Buf success?
Injuries? Sure. But this team was outside playoffs looking in since the season started.
They did nothing to make any kind of change (buy, sell, fire, nothing)
They hoped that things would just turn

Top 3 weirdest comments
1. “No right or wrong way to build a championship”
There is definitely a wrong way
2. “Didnt expect the success of MTL/BUF”
How did that impact them?
3. Whatever he said regarding “alignment, verticals, and horizontals”
@walsha Agreed Allan!!!
If national media does not make this a story, would this group have came to the same conclusion?
This was headed for a 2 game suspension until Friedman/etc put out statements.
Player Safety an oxymoron - inconsistent and light on discipline…
@nylanderthews Nill, Armstrong, would be class of their own.
Pronger comes in he is making final calls and key role would be establishing culture and standards for Maple Leaf Hockey.
But would need to be equipped and insulated w experience and smart hockey people.

Please discuss “not here to sell jerseys” and Leafs tagging a link to buy jerseys in their Laughton Thank You post…. It’s since been deleted
Could not believe
@JDBunkis how do you reconcile (though it may be the right move) rebuilding this summer by trading big names when the Leafs dont hold tbeir own first next yr…
Feels like they will try again for a retool fix for next yr and when that inevitably fails… the rebuild will start
@yyzsportsmedia Reactive not pro active is how id define their downfall for the last 50yrs.
The most proactive move was the rebuild conducted by shanny but they reacted to the esrly success and tried to make the jump too early and kept chasing it. A multitude of mistakes reactively
@yyzsportsmedia Call it pressure from fans, media, etc. but the Leafs for years have been slow to analyze and take action.
From not spending before cap, late to rebuild when young talent wss entering league at higher rate than prev yes, to not selling off assets at peak returns…
