Gdt | I let u all down go leafs get 70 ya big cock

Panic signing him at the top might be a bigger choke than the Leafs ever had in the playoffs. They hired a perfect loser gm for this organization.

I think the GM and the visions he has for a blue line are quite more dangerous than Keefe tbh

Watching Willy skate off on his last shift where he left the puck after hitting it with a high stick, where he just meandered to the bench, no rush, not a care in the world, was honestly disgusting. How can these guys be like there are when they're good and then be like this? I can't make any sense of this shit.

Yeah...I noticed that too...my only rationale is to convince myself that this is at Keefes instruction...everyone take it easy and don't get hurt?

2 GM's in a row waited too long and got rolled by Team Willy.

sure domi is injured but why did we split up every single other line as a result, ensuring we have as little chemistry as possible heading into the playoffs.

Well the last contract, which he's currently scoring 100 points under, ended up being a steal.

This next one is going to be tough to justify unless he gets 100 every year of it.

To lose better? Duh.

The last one cost us a year of Willy and was 6.9 because of cap fuckery from missing half of a season (and sucking for the rest of it)

Same instruction they get in the playoffs. Play nice and easy, especially in the final games of the series, so that you don't get hurt and spoil your vacationing in the offseason. Last thing you want to do is go to rehab when you can be partying.

Because Sheldon will continue to try to force this team to play the way he wants instead of how they play well.

At a certain point you have to think he coaches how Shanahan wants

There is mountains and mountains of evidence this is true imo

I mean both are obviously an issue but yeah only one can destroy a teams cap structure and load the roster with plugs over skill. You have to fire everyone really. They won't but it's what they've gotta do. Bailing on the data driven philosophy is going to catch up to them big time. Still a great team for now but eventually they won't be.

I mean shanny shouldn’t be safe really.

I'm hoping Pelley runs everyone this summer tbh.

Like unless you believe Keefe had a ton of say in roster construction, the front office as at least as big a problem. Who's to say they dont just replace Keefe with a different idiot?

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

He shouldnt, but i feel like the outcomes are

keefe goes
everyone gets the fuck out
somehow everyone stays

I think the second one is the unlikliest.

If they lose, i think coach is the sacrificial lamb, which i suspect was Tre's plan not firing him when he got hired, and they convince themselves they need more blue line help and pay a guy

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Also, no playoff GDTs for mbow.

Oh of course they will. I've been on team fire everyone for awhile now.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

The question is, why the fuck did Trefucker extend Keefe in the offseason? What the fuck was the rationale behind that?

Anything that provides any disincentive to terminating his oversized ass should've been avoided at all costs.
