Y'know, I could get all philosophical about what's happened... but frankly after having to eat crow for the second year in a row at my chiropractor today when the Leafs yet again failed to take their playoff destiny in their own hands I'm saying piss on it...
1) JFJ has to get the gas... in two years he's taken this team and done exactly jack and squat with them... I would say that they are almost in a worse position than when he took over, the salary cap acting as a gigantic millstone on this team... while there are some signs of young talent there, too many of the players seem to think that wearing the Maple Leafs sweater is the perfect excuse to do nothing after getting their big payday (Hello Bryan "Turnover King" McCabe)
2) Mats Sundin - In my heart I want him to stay a Leaf and retire as one, but frankly Mats deserves better than a rebuilding project, which is all the Leafs are going to be for the next few years thanks to stupid signings by management <_< If Mats is comfortable taking less than the going rate so that we can use the saved coin to shore up our other areas of weakness, I'd sign him in a heartbeat... otherwise we'll have to let him walk...
3) Leafs D - Aside from Kaberle (and McCabe when he is motivated) the Leafs defense core is weak... Hal Gill, big and strong but as slow as I am... between he & Pavel "Oops He Did It Again" Kubina, I don't know which of them I would jettison first...
4) Andrew Raycroft - Another spectacular signing by JFJ :rolleyes: what the Leafs need to do is get a backup that can actually teach him something (Like maybe not to make boneheaded plays with shooters firing at him from the blue line <_<)
I think I'll stop here... I can feel my anger rising again :angry:
