So... how's that Shananplan working?



getting rid of Babbcock because little Mitch had his feelings hurt...... boo hoo, suck it up buttercup..... perhaps score a playoff goal or two before you complain about how the coach made you feel uncomfortable.



Got rid of Lou Lamerillo....... three years ago now? How many rounds of the playoffs have the Islanders won since Lou took over three years ago..... four and counting


Stuck with the unproven Dubass, who built a team heavily based on analytics, and acquiring career back up goaltenders... thinking they will become starters...... that's a good plan

Too bad they didn't aquire/draft a goaltender like Tuuka Rask, and develop him into a proven starter and playoff winner like the Bruins did





Clearly the leafs junior hockey GM has built a team for the regular season..... NOT the playoffs.




Well I guess it's progress that the leafs actually made the playoffs this season, when they failed to qualify for them last season.


Good work by Doug Ford getting those 550 front line medical workers and para medics into the game last night..... he must have known there was going to be a LOT OF CHOKING by the leafs.

Does anyone remember which year this thread started? It feels like each team has already had 2-3 rebuilds.

But Sakic isn’t an analytics guy. That may be the difference. Here’s an article from six seasons ago when Sakic started to build a contender.

Reading that article with hindsight makes it more interesting IMO.

in 2016 they shifted, after they split with Roy
Urback and Parnass were the start.

they went from one of the anti-anlytics jokes to one of the smartest.

I just went to page 1 and they're talking about the 2009 draft so i'd say November 2008.

There's not 1 player or prospect from either team that's still relevant to the original question.

It seems we have a tie.

i was just trying to look back again and i have to admit it's hilarious and i wish i was here for the start of the thread.

page 6 lol. 2008 or 2009!:
"But now that the coaching philosophy has switched back to offense first, and it looks at this point that the Senators are going to finish ahead of the leafs and will "in a better position" by the time next season starts."

guess who?

and they've still not been in a better situation!


i've been waiting until the tables turn so i can see if there's anyone on the leafs side willing to make as big a fool of themselves as dopps has but the tables just refuse to turn!

My favorite part of the thread is how Sens fans defended having money tied up in 3 forwards and Leafs fans bashed it, now it's a complete 180.

Ottawa is looking better to be honest. I'm not saying they're in a better situation but I think they're about to turn the corner as a franchise.

I think that we can conclude, you cant win a cup with jason Spezza

at that stage it all rainbows and unicorns.

2016 Leafs with loads of Rookies playing above expectations was a (frank)ing great old time

I mean looking at that team and what they've become is a cautionary tale. There's far too much talent to write them off but the roster construction leaves a lot to be desired.

i think they finally are too.

i just love that it took over a decade and people were trying to claim otherwise every day during that time.

the rivalry would be good up there. i don't hate either team, i just like laughing at really dumb people.

To be fair the Sens did have that run to the ECF even though you knew it was gonna put them in a bad spot for awhile afterwards.

I think both teams put the AVS in a better situation.

the sens are a few years away from being able to be in a position to disappoint as much as the leafs have

leafs still in a better situation as of now unless you enjoy watching sub .500 hockey

*mic drop*

*lands on toe*

ow

hopefully not hockey, (frank) that sport

why aren't the baltimore orioles called the baltimore baltimore orioles?

why do we call people banana eaters when we dislike them? do we seriously want to discourage cock sucking?
