Horrendous
Maybe Shanny needs to go! They’ve tried everything except moving on from one of the core 4!!
Hey Gord, you should of been the GM…..that would of been awesome!!!!
Why is it that everything with this team, which I was born into and did in no way choose, is like something out of an episode of Days of our Lives?
Audio volume not loud enough
Skating speed and skill don’t win championships. Look at the 2 teams left. Defense wins
Brad 🌳 🏡 🌲 Living did wonders with bringing in Huberdeau & weeger for i can't spell his name but he's in Florida. Brad fleeced the GM in Florida Zito. Get ready for Ring sizing Boys 👦
Treliving did help build a Stanley Cup Contender.
In Florida.
Bad
Shanny needed to build this team with players that play the game the way he used to, then we might in some sort of contention. Until these players play with heart, passion and the will to win, this team is doomed. We’re here because the players we have don’t have that in them, at least yet. Can they? I don’t know, but I’m tired of watching this team give us hope and then crush our hearts within a week of each other.
Am I crazy here folks? If we had players like Shanny played, would we have not won by now. I just don’t understand how Shanny changed his mind set of how the game needs to be played to win.
This team will not get better with Keefe! Agree with Sammy
After hearing all the Dubas stuff sounds like he was a cancer
Love Gord!
Fire the coach, we need a new style of play because it's not working in the playoffs, I've been watching the leafs since 1997
We need someone to shake it up
It's was the GM and the coach because we had the best team in the playoffs left
Shanahan tried to get cute and hedge his bets based on what GM candidates were out there. He said himself that he was already starting to talk to people before Dubas had given an answer on the original offer. If you're talking to people, it tells me you don't think your guy is the guy. If that's the case, get rid of him, period. The answer is in that you're asking the question in the first place. Shanahan should have told Dubas to clean out his desk Monday morning and made the announcement that afternoon.
Give him a chance because the LAST g.m didn't get it done
Keef has to go
A guy who traded Tkachuck and burned the flames is now in charge of the leafs I will never see the leafs win the cup I am 63 years of age
Who is Dubas draft? No one. He's overrated and was given talent .
If the core isn’t changed i don’t care who the GM will be, this team will NEVER win anything meaning full. The softness may could be blamed on dubas, but ultimately the players decide if they are fine with being losers…… Change the entire dam roster, mangers i dont care , the only thing i care about is winning, and this dysfunctional current build must go .
Bruce Boudreau
We have one of the best players in the league, and we just need a new coach…..
They have to replace the asst who went to the Caps…bring in Boudreau and have him their as a Co coach…and if it aint working fire Keefe and you have Bruce waiting to take over team…even if you play out the year…Keefe's contract done..might work
We have a good team, but the coach has to go
His couldn't get it done…….😢 enough 5 years 😂
It's the coach
I believe in Treliving and the whole management team. Smart trades and smart signings means winning, and winning fixes everything. Go Leafs Go.
Same shht different day. 5 years of failure and you give us 9 years of failure.
wtf was this a 'shanny-plan'?????
Babs is laughing all the way to the bank.
I would like to thank Treliving on making the Florida panthers who they are today. Without him giving up on Sam Bennett and signing Tkatchuk to a bridge contract instead of a long term deal, he has helped build a solid Stanley cup contending team
TWO rounds in NINE years. he'll fit right in.
and btw. Matthews has never done anything in the playoffs!!!!!!
This was a 'duh' hire. So cut the Days of our lives stuff
If Treliving doesn't move at least one of the core four, Matthews imo, we're having the same discussion next year.
Would Love to see the PHEONIX Coyotes move to Toronto as a 2nd N.H.L. Team, then you would see some major changes once the Coyotes start to kick the Leafs Ass
Dubas turning down Pittsburgh. Huh. Would be cool if ends up in Ottawa. Will make them games interesting.
Matthews will resign but short term 3-4 and we will kick the can down the road about possibly trading him. If Willie is not resigning he will be traded to Calgary in a Toffoli, Anderson deal.
"You asked for too much money on your contract, and for that reason, im out." – Brad Treliving, 2024 Leafs Den
Keefe wasn't the problem. I'd keep him as coach.
I have the Panthers in 7
Sportsnet bosses – please make this a 2 hour show again!
Super annoying with your 2 minute delay ….sorry next!
This is a different animal Brad lol good luck your gonna need it 😂
Shanny isn’t going to give Keefe a contract extension and Sheldon is a lame duck head coach. Why doesn’t Shanny just fire Keefe now?
Some predictions that went badly awry(or will): the Islanders are chokers and Bossy is soft(late 70's), they'll never win anything(won 4 cups in early 80's); Yzerman and Sakic are one-way players, they'll never lead their respective teams to any cup victories(the 2 won 5 cups); Mike Vernon is far from his 1989 form, Detroit can't possibly win the cup with him in the net(did in 1997); Patrick Roy is washed up at age 30, he needs to be traded for a younger goaltender;(won 2 c 44:41 ups in Colorado) ; it seems as though a Canadian team will never win the cup again, it really is the fault of the refs and Gary Bettman(oh, sure); McDavid and Draisaitl have had a banner year(2023), we must consider Edmonton to be a top cup contender (uhhh…no); alas, we finally have Dubas's scalp hanging on the wall, all is now made right in Leafland(????)
I’m confounded by the fact Shannahan was a hard nosed player who knew what it took to win it all yet all the time he’s been here he’s had a hand in building soft teams that NO one has faith to win the Stanley cup
Yacking on a podcast is studying now?
I don't think the majority of the fan base would be happy with a Matthews signing. If the organization is serious about winning no way in hell they would be front loading contracts like they have been. No money left over to get guys. The problem is the leafs don't have a core. Matthews and Marner would be very good on a team that has already established a core. Thats the problem . I don't care what awards Mattews has won in prior years. Its a team sport and the playoffs these guys struggle way too much. There good hockey players . Top end guys but not superstars. Nylander I would keep bc its tough to find guys that can perform in high pressure games here in Toronto. This does not seem to faze him. I even believe Nylander is there best player.
Kylie Dubas moved away from "other elements of hockey?" JB can't even say, "tough, real man hockey, where players know how to play like warriors in the playoffs?"
One hour show , feels like you are always rushing. Liked the two hours better, even maybe 1 1/2 hour maybe?!!
