Thanks coach, you da man!
I gotta admit, I am still butt hurt from Babcock's firing. Coach Babcock was the only one who knew what he was doing in the organization.
Shanahan does not seem to have a brain. He's like a politician, not really a hockey executive in the NHL. Look at the players he got. They were all similar to him.
Shanahan was a power forward, that could skate, thug tough, and he could score. Later in Shanahan's career, he was not as fast, and he mellowed, but he could still score, and was a top offensive player in the league. He headed for the net, stood around there, took one stride either way in the slot, and a talented Detroit forward would pass him the puck in the slot and Shanahan was wise enough to be open and they kept scoring and won cups.
Little surprise Shanhan would get similar ass bad players like Simmonds, big and good in front of the net, and Ritiche, big, tough, very thuggish, good hands. They just got to head for the slot, create just a little space for themselves, and the golden boys with the nice hair from their stylist, will get them the puck and they will score, like how Shanahan used to do it.
That is the good part, but also the part that disturbs me about management. Shanahan still knows what a good power forward is, but what about defense and goal? He only played wing after all.
If this team hits the skids at any point this year, it could turn into one of those epic Leafs management circuses. They will twerk it good!
Like the ancient wisdom taught, give the fans bread and give'em circuses.
You da man, coach!
Go Leafs Go!
