That he may have private security is fine - the guy got carjacked. Take some precautions.

That Mirtle is saying he's using private security to harass members of the press is concerning if he is having his staff do that OR that Mirtle is making that claim and it not be true.

Bold of the Post to refer to Mirtle as a "reporter".

??? hes one of the biggest reporters in all of hockey lol. Man is like the head of hockey for the biggest hockey publication.

Mirtle mentioend it. And other members have mentioned it in the past. Isn't a new thing. Mirtle saying it though is a bit bigger as hes a big fish in terms of media ppl.

:laugh:


Any rumor on who is in the running for next coach?
There are a lot of rumours:
Fans on the boards do as well: ranging from the hope to poach Rod Brind'Amour to Quenville, Berube, Hunter, Sutter and a host of others.

I hope it’s not Boucher just because that’s some lifeless hockey to watch. Berube is fun to hate and has that “Boston killer” on his resume. Could make sense.

All feels like the kind of the stories that happen before and after a big star leaves a market.

Take what Mirtle says with a big grain of salt.

Yeah, that is one of the fears of some fans on the Leaf board- that they will just promote and assistant. Though with Boucher- he is thought to be in charge of the power-play.
I guess this attempts to explain it

I mean he is a really really good defensive coach. Not sure I would have him running the PP :). But get ready for games 5, 6 and 7 is be the new normal. Not so fun over 82.

I've a lot of those names floating around, just wondering if Leafs fans had a better grasp on if any are more likely or if you're just as in the dark as the rest of the league.

The Leafs fans are very toxic. They blame Marner completely while a worse player in Matthews get a pass.
To be fair Matthews was dealing with illness/injury, he came back in game 7 and was putting in an effort. It's hard to blame him for that. Marner was healthy as far as we know.

Some have blamed Marner, others have blamed what they call the core four, some have given one or more of them a pass while others have blamed other players. This year Marner had such a poor start to the playoffs.

Canadian vs American market. Up here when the club is winning the elite players are treated like Gods. When it turns there is no where to hide. Total anonymity down south, regardless of winning or losing. MM controls where he goes next and 100% it will be down south.
Gilmour , Wendyl, Tucker, Sundin, CuJo , Roberts, Andreychuk, Potvin , Burns, Nolan, Moginy, just to name a few who never won anything in T.O and were still treated great by fans and media.
Marner is an arrogant little $hit and that's why some fans have no problem heckling him. And it is really no more than rhat......just heckling.
I'm sure he would if he could.......play better in the play offs.

Did you bother to even read the article?
Very few people have.
