Re: Shanahan new president
No way. Not Carlyle's fault. Look at your defense. Look at your goaltending. Carlyle is a hell of a coach.Comment

Goaltending the problem in Toronto? I hope that's sarcasm.
You can only allow your goalie to face 35+ shots a night and expect to win enough to make the playoffs. It's the system.Comment

It's the goalies job to stop the puck. Toronto allowed the most shots in an 82 game season ever. Why would that be on the goalie coach?Comment

Re: Shanahan new president
I think Toronto is in trouble going forward.
The goaltending was good for the majority of last season yet they still missed the playoffs. Bernier had a solid season but for a lot of it definitely played over his head. Remember how high Leaf fans were on Reimer last season...now they throw him under the bus. You look at Bernier...he too had a small sample size and Leaf fans are high on him again. Who's to say they won't end up throwing him under the bus next season?
The defense is obviously a huge problem. Phaneuf is not a #1 defenseman, IMO. Then you have a bunch of "meh" surrounding him with Franson, Gardiner, Rielly, etc. They're just not good enough.
The forwards seem to be more of a strong point, except I've noticed they bail out on plays a lot to try and pad their stats. I still don't believe a team will do overly well with Phil Kessel leading the charge, especially at $8M. He has a lot of talent, sure. But there seems to be a lot of negatives to go with it. First off, he's completely out of shape. Watching him say how Leaf fans deserve better was pretty humorous because, if he really felt that, he'd actually commit to working out and becoming a better player. It's been a problem since he was in Boston and it's clearly still a problem. You see him after every shift completely gassed, even if he doesn't do much on that shift. Not saying that he's a bad player, but I don't think you'll go far with him as your best player.Comment
