[Leaf Fans]

If nothing else, he can probably get some good tee times for the Leafs after the first round of the playoffs.

Why not before the first round?

 

[ULF_55]

He doesn't have to be involved in the day to day to make a difference.

If he holds people accountable, they'll hold their reports accountable.

 

[al secord]

Good hire. Smart dude, stand up gentleman from what I've heard 2nd hand.

I would think any Leader they've had held their reports accountable.

 

[Leafblooded]

Hope he brings a top down bleed of no nonsense hard nosed hockey this team and city deserve…

The hall and oats vibe of Ronald McDonald should be over.

Real men. Hockey. Work.

No Dubas soy boy attitudes.
No fanboys

If Marner is crying over his next contract he should be traded.
He makes a Mickey Mouse play in the playoffs he needs to wear it.

A Stanley cup for this city will change things in a way management can’t even imagine.

A generation, soon to be 2 who think the leafs are a meme.

They flock to raptors instead. Basketball is boring. One man can be a team.

I loathe it. 6’9 athletes crying on contact.

Hockey needs a boost. Not only for Toronto.

Girly goal song is gone.
5’9 Ballerinas are gone.
Dubas estrogenic Billy beane impression is gone
Tre so far made this team tougher not even done 1 year than Dubas whole tenure here.
Let’s see if Keefe grew some hair on his b*lls.

Top down….

Changes

Lfg

Endrant

Estrogenic Billy Bean lol that's gold Jerry!

Good hire. Smart dude, stand up gentleman from what I've heard 2nd hand.

Just being a sports guy is better
Some of the board know nothing but numbers and gobs of money
This guy will likely pay attention

MLSE to hire Keith Pelley as president, chief executive | TSN

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the Maple Leafs, Raptors, TFC, and Argonauts, has reached an agreement to hire Keith Pelley as president and chief executive, concluding an executive search that has lasted nearly a year.

A very well known name in TO media circles now back as head honcho of MLSE. Thoughts?

Short lease for Shanahan and tre .

 

[rojac]

Short lease for Shanahan and tre .

Unless they also change the reporting structure, the Leafs and Raptors presidents will still be reporting directly to the board.

 

[ULF_55]

I would think any Leader they've had held their reports accountable.

How many firings have we seen?

 

[stats1]

Super underwhelming. A Rogers cronie running the Leafs/TFC/Raptors. Seems like a great idea….

 

[PromisedLand]

Another useless suit.

Thats my take on it as well.

Stupid effing moronic suits pretending to do shit while being nothing but an effing result of nepotisim not merit

 

[Larcos_Unal]

All I care about is who gives Shanny the axe after 10 years and one playoff round won....oh right, doesn't matter how many playoff wins we get as long as the money keeps rolling in.

 

[ACC1224]

How many firings have we seen?

why Is that relevant?

 

[ULF_55]

why Is that relevant?

It is normal for someone to be held accountable for failure.

More playoffs games more revenue.

It is normal for someone to be held accountable for failure.

Perhaps the criteria they use he’s not failing.
I doubt it’s as simple as wins and losses

 

[ToneDog]

More playoffs games more revenue.

Have to hire more competent people and make better effort to build team that plays more playoff games, unlike filling SBA on game nights without having to lift a finger.

It's simpler than wins and losses.

It's revenue.

 

[ACC1224]

It's simpler than wins and losses.

It's revenue.

He must be exceeding his targets then.

 

[3blizzard4]

Everyone in Toronto sports media is saying this is a great. He is a good person and he knows his stuff. He is a sports guy and understands sports.

We need a sports guy. I think Shanny is as good as gone if we have a quick playoffs exit this spring.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

More playoffs games more revenue.

I get what you mean but the $2m they'd bank off a playoff game is a drop in the bucket for a multibillion dollar franchise

Do we know what they get per playoffs game in 2023?

Forbes had regular season games a $2mm per game in 2013.

I've seen amounts up to $7mm per game, but not from a reputable source.

 

[LeafSteel]

He must be exceeding his targets then.

Can we then say he’s passing ALL the tests?

300 average ticket, plus boxes, plus 50-100 per person spend would get you in the 8-9 per range.

they could do a half mil to mil in merch easy on top of that.

They may get some kind of bonus rev for the tv/streaming.

playoff games matter to revenue for sure
