this in seriousness. Now that no trades can happen, we have only
a mass call-up or a coaching change to right this ship.

I almost posted something that might have gotten me banned from here. Aint gonna happen Lama. Plain and simple. Like I posted the other day I think it's time to add Burke to the fire Wilson thread strictly for this reason.

Burke should be fired first. Let the new GM fire Wilson and pick his own man for the job.

Wow you were 30 last time they made it. It was a great year, franchise recording 103 points, beat the evil Sens in the 1st for the 4th time 5 yrs, and played a tough series against the Phily- game 6 ot bone crushing hit on Kapanen by Tucker, who crawls to the bench to let on Roenick for the winner on the same whistle.
 
Kypreos and MacLean seem to think that the team isn't responding to Wilson, and if thats the case they were pretty adamant that he should go.

But we all know that it will never happen this season at least, because that would mean Burke would have to admit he made a mistake in giving RW a contract extension....Burke doesnt admit to making mistakes
 
Just when we thought we hit the bottom of the barrel two years ago this season happens.  What an absolute joke.  I don't know what angers me more, our coach, or the fact that franchises like Florida and Winnipeg are significantly ahead of us.  The members of this Leaf team couldn't cut it anywhere in this league and the fact that they've been given opportunity after opportunity to succeed is a testament to that.  You really want to waste significant cap space on Grabovski?  Where is this five million dollar player tonight?  Or the last five games for that matter?  Hey Riemer plays good for a quarter of the season so lets give him a 3 year contract extension.  Did the current management team learn anything from the way the previous regime handled giving out long term contracts to unproven netminders?  We've needed a legitimate goalie for the last 7 years, the fact that this hasn't been addressed in this market is a criminal offence.

This season is becoming a microcosm of the last 6 years.  Complete and utter failure.  If Burke sticks with this clown coach after tonight as far as I am concerned they should both get the pink slip.

That's not very likely to happen either.
 
Hoboy.  I just got in and dialed up the GDT and saw 9 pp already and thought:

It's really good

OR

It's the Leafs.

:(

I just saw the replay of the goals and even though you can argue who's mroe to blame, I'd put Gus in.  Of course, I would have started him.

Well, they're both needling towards the negative end of the 'tool-o-meter' to me but even they prefaced that with 'if'.

We actually had a guy behind the bench who knew what he was doing...

It?s pretty much a certainty that it won?t happen. Still though, it would be a nice change.

I dunno, I'd like to see how Burke reacts in the offseason if they don't make the playoffs.

I could see him quietly canning him on a summer long weekend. Of course it would be better for the team if he canned him way earlier (a year or two ago even) but there are are egos that seem to get in the way of what's best for the team.
 
Man I remember thinking even though Hitchcock was out there I wouldn't
really want him due to the trap style etc. I admit I have not watched the Blues so I do not know if he's still coaching that way. It is interesting that the coaching changes that appear to have worked were the only 2 that were experienced - Hitch and Boudreau. Does this mean BB would not put Eakins in as coach then?
I am starting to believe that unless a change of system is allowed by Burke (you know - less entertaining more winning) re: defense that no
coaching change would work. Would BB allow Eakins to bring his system at all?
