Basically the gist of it was
"I couldn't agree with you anymore Simmer"
"Right? If Im Benning you have to be asking"
"And its not just how often guys are being used, its where he's using them"
"And this is an every game thing too"
"He's all about his rhythm and roll..."
"Its 3 wins..."
How did you get all these inside talks?

This is what you resort to now?

Wanting a good draft pick and wanting the coach to actually run the team in the right manner are not mutually exclusive.

This team is bad enough on its own—it would still be comforting to see a coach and GM show some competence.

I know it'd be sweet to have a fun, exciting, skilled young team that double shifted the Sedins and got the #1 pick overall :laugh:

I believe NHL gamecenter (or whatever their service is called now) sometimes streams direct feeds and you can hear what they're saying during commercial breaks.

I've heard them sometimes during other games.

Media kept trumpeting about how the Leafs haven't won in this building in ages. Could feel that this was bound to happen.

Of course he believe he improved the team. He wouldn't make the moves if he didn't. But I don't believe that he was going all in for a playoff push this season. He didn't expect to be a bottom 3 team, nor a top 3 team. He likely wanted to attempt to recreate the magic they had last season while injecting even more youth into the team. Unlike many around here, I don't think that makes him a moron or idiot or whatever childish names people throw at him. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to do as management of an NHL team, especially when you are pressure from your boss to do so.

I never said he thought it was a top 3 team. But thank you for finally admitting he believed he improved the team. He had a playoff team and improved it in his mind. He was clearly wrong and further to the point a, likely, majority of people on this board called it. He took the job knowing the requirements from his boss; he doesn't get to use that as any sort of excuse. It's a bad team he put together. And it's a cap team.
