Well, just so long as you're back in time for next season so you can call everyone who doesn't think the Leafs will make the playoffs stupid pessimists.

of course I will, with bells on  ;D.  and I still stand by the fact we have a solid team, its the coaching thats the issue.

Well I'm honestly glad you can be so optimistic.  I wish I was like you sometimes.

I see a team with no coach, no 1st line center, no power forward, no team toughness, no shut down defender, no goaltender, little in terms of speciality teams and I don't think all of those problems will go away with a coaching change.

Exactly! Althouh I do think we're closer than we think. The 1C is an issue, but I'm content with Grabbo as a 2C. Kooly can stay (assuming he turns it around) Mac can go, perhaps replaced with Kadri. We need a strong 3C, a Mike Peca in his prime type and a dirty grinding 3rd line. Maybe Frattin and Carter Ashton can fill those roles soon. Steckel in the 4C, with Brown I'm content with. Maybe a better fourth line winger is needed.

Goaltending... I think we should have Reimer backup a vet, maybe if we can get Schneider or Halak or Harding.

Apparently there was a 1st rounder on the table for Mac, might've been a nice asset.

We were spoiled having 2 of the top 5 scorers in the nhl, that won't happen again. We sorely lack consider secondary scoring from the other lines. We lack a 1C, 1-2 2nd line scorers, a strong center on the 3rd line. Kooly can play wing on there now that he can't score much anymore. Frattin will fit on the other wing next yr, hopefully he can jump to the 2nd line at some point. They lack 2-3 dmen that play well in transition and in their own end, like Komi/schenn but more competent. They lack a starter. I'd say that is a lot to fill.
 
My prediction for tonight...

We get absolutely destroyed on the ice.  Goose plays his a## off. We trail 3-0 in the third we get a couple of lucky bounces to make it 3-2.  Goose lets in a softie to ice it and then gets to watch Reimer choke for the next 4 games.

WTF is going on.
I went to work happy I was sure Wilson would be fired.
Burke do your job. Fire Wilson now I am all pissed off.
I cannot wait till post -game , who's fault will it be tonight
Maybe the equipment manager, or the medical staff, the janitor for
not wiping the game board..

Life will be much easier for you when you accept the fact that Wilson won't be fired before the season is over, whether you like it or not.

Good on the Franson part...meh on the Armstrong part.  Both guys have been really bad lately.
