Scapegoat fire

Almost like Cassidy wasn't the issue. Players wanted him fired. 3 years later, he's a stanley cup champion and Bruins are on their 2nd coach now.

I'm on the Bruins dip isn't as surprising as it should be .the goaltending is worse and their older vets keep getting older. Last season may have been closer to being a one off than a sign of consistency

Edmonton claimed Kapanen from waivers.

A wee bit comical at this point the amount of recycling they do from older Leafs guys

I feel sick when I see these Dubas waiver fodder pet projects go in the tank: Campbell and Kapanen. I just can't believe what we used to see. Both Kap and Campbell were key players for Kyle at one point. It's no wonder they can't get out of the 1st round.

Kap was never a key player. He was a young role guy. They moved on from him pretty quick.

To be fair,, in this case Kyle sold pretty high on Kapanen

As he did on the other duds Engvall, Johnsson, etc.

What we used to see was a guy in Kapanen, who on a $863k contract, put up 44 points for us, and had a ton of speed. The following year he put up 37 points.... a solid contributor on the third line, who was then dumped and went downhill.

He was a great value player for us, and a good third line player.

He was a good pickup, and dumped at exactly the right time... all around good moves...

What's sad is people who are so clouded by Dubas anger, that they make statements like this.

Odds are he will be the Habs next coach.
He coached with Berube in St. Louis

Being born in Montreal doesn’t automatically mean you speak French.
