The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

He’s a Keefe guy

 

[Preston]

Yeah we should probably not want the Leafs to fire Keefe.

 

[LeafGm]

Boucher has been to the third round TWICE. Missing piece.

It’s kind of crazy actually.

In both of his NHL stints as a head coach, he’s made it to the third round in season #1, missed the playoffs in season #2 and been fired partway through season #3.

I know I'm a Habs fan but this is a shitty signing. If they think boucher is better than Keefe then just how bad is Keefe?!?

Yeah, Boucher is awful too, no doubt.

Turd sandwich vs Giant Douche

well we’re going on a run this year.

He's also the guy that played a 0-5 defense.

Hope they don't turn into a trap team

Keefe did that too in Florida game 2? OT.

 

[Preston]

He's a scarier looking Keefe, yeah.

But Keefe wasn't always that way. Not sure what happened to him.

 

[Habsy]

Well they're paid to throw shit at the wall so...

Just seems they plan on playing a much slower game and imo that's a mistake.

That was honestly one of the most embarrassing on-ice displays in league history, IMO.

Nah, not really based on the players they acquired.

 

[Habsy]

When the Habs constantly pass over a French coach? Yeah, I'm scratching my head at this one. Musty have a connection to Tre somehow.

 

[Habsy]

Nah, not really based on the players they acquired.

Going off the coaches solely. You can have speed, and you do, but you have to use it.

 

[leafman101]

The good news is Boucher is only replacing our PP coach, so we'll go with a 1-1-3 PP forecheck

 

[Preston]

Yeah it's a bit strange. Tre is on record recently saying that he wants the leafs to play more aggressive and force the play more than they did last year. So this move doesn't align with that, for sure. His signings sure do though.

Oh he's the PP coach. So yeah hard to read too much into this then.

 

[Volcanologist]

Now we have a guy with a badass scar to make the bench party harder and embiggen our roster's physical play with intense glares. Great move.

 

[LeafGm]

Man, I’d completely forgotten that Boucher had been all but officially hired as Leaf coach before Babs cockblocked him at the last second.
