I can see AM going to the Blackhawks, they're drafting Connor Beddard and Seth Jones is already there.

I turn up the volume when I play this, it resonates across the room.

Remember, it was Mark Hunter who drafted Mitch Marner, a great regular season player.

Keefe should be fired, Jake Oettinger is younger than Joseph Woll.

So cute!

The Leafs didn’t fire him. His contract expires on June 30/2023 and the Leafs have decided not to renew it.

I said at the time that it could be the biggest mistake that Shanahan could make as the president and as it turned out, five precious years of the promising young core are wasted due to Dubas’s incompetence to supply the other necessary supporting pieces to make this team a serious contender. IMO this team now is weaker than the one he inherited.

”We can and we will “ then

”we did and we shouldn’t have “ now.

As a Leaf season ticket holder, this is the email I got this yesterday from them, which is quite similar to the apology emails that have been coming at the end of every season for the past 20 years:




Leafs Nation is built on the passion and commitment from Members like you. Thank you for your continued support.

After a 111-point regular season bolstered by trade deadline acquisitions, the team readied itself for our first round playoff opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning. It was an incredible series with memorable moments as we watched our team advance to the second round for the first time in 19 years.

Unfortunately that momentum and success didn’t carry through to so many of those same crucial moments in Round 2 against the Florida Panthers, ending this year’s bid for the Stanley Cup – which is our ultimate and only goal.

We now set our sights on ways to better ourselves and approach the 2023-24 season with renewed determination to accomplish that goal.

We look forward to seeing you and hearing you cheer the team on at Scotiabank Arena and on the road, next season.

Toronto Maple Leafs




It's always how we were almost there, or things just didn't quite turn our way. I feel like they take us for fools when they write this stuff. They should just be honest and say thank you for your payment so that we can continue to put out over paid shit and pay a front office staff that isn't worth anything. We still make more money than any other team so we actually don't give a shit about the fan base.

Not surprising. Results speak. I think Shanahan and Keefe should be turfed as well.
If they end up extending Matthews before the start of next season I will seriously contemplate ditching this team forever.

Maybe Sheldon Keefe will write Shanny an email to say he wants to stay on as coach and then have his agent call to say "but what he really wants is to be GM!"

Apparently Spezza resigned before Shanahan's press conference(TSN--Pierre Lebrun).

On the other hand, the MLSE hired Shanahan in 2014. That's almost a decade of failure. I would never give a GM more than 3-4 seasons. Of course the Leafs have no culture of excellence nor are in any rush to win. Fuck'em blue.
