no REAL rush, as long as he is in place for the draft and free agent period. He probably didn't see his SJ firing coming, so he has all his scouting reports and whatnot in order already anyway. Let him have his week or so, then jump into his upcoming losing season wholeheartedly.

On another note: Red Wings, 2008 Stanley Cup Champs! OOOOWWWWW!

I'd be willing to bet he'll be the new bench boss based on all the meetings they have concluded. He is running back to SJ to tell his wife the good news personally and being that he is very excited about it...wants to tear off a piece.

I'd also be willing to bet this new contributer with the Wings Cup avatar that the Leafs will not have a losing season...

I hope the Leafs have a good season, it makes for more enjoyable viewing of a Saturday night (or Sunday morning in my case)
btw Baun-ded, how's the new job?

Frig...I knew I forgot something this morning...thanks for the reminder Oil. Guess I better get a move on. LOL

So they'll have a new coach, and then the GM that comes in will be saddled with a guy who may not fit his philosophy. It's exactly this kind of thinking that has made the Leafs so wildly successful these last forty years

I've heard that he's already turned it down, but it was from a drunk at the bar last night so it might not be that reliable. I think you'd have to be drunk to get into that mess right now anyway.

Why doesn't it surprise me that evolvguy would run into another Bruin banner in bostongm in that condition.

Word in Toronto is that he's already signed and they are going to bring on Burke too, but were waiting until the Cup Final was over so as not to take away from that. That sounds like a Burke move, because he apologized to the Wings' and Pens', organizations on Hockey Night in Canada when the subject was brought up during a brief interview.

He's in at the helm of the Leafs for sure. Should be a plus for them, for sure. SJ firing was a joke. Players don't produce it's always the coach that gets the brunt of the blame. I know it's part of the job taking the responsibility, but SJ just played like crap against Dallas. I think they burned themselves out trying to catch the Wings in that late season run. ( ie see Wings burnout from previous years)
Back on track I think he'll be a great coach for the Leafs and I agree Baun, they should show some pretty steep improvement next year.

think I got enough "for sures" in those first two sentences..omg

Ahhhh not so fast sir. I think even the Leafs are smart enough to realize that would be a very foolish move. Which makes me think,they have their GM and were just waiting for the Cup finals to be over to announce it. So don't worry (I can tell your worried)

what would you be willing to bet? I made bgm admit that Lidstrom is better than Bourque with this last one, and I gotta tell ya, it feels awfully good.

Mind you, we may be getting a little ahead of ourselves here, it'd be tough to remember this bet from now till way down the road in April when the Leafs are out of it by missing the playoffs again...

Baun, GoCan ...going to put up new blog tonite...lemme know what ya think

oh and I'll try to put in a pic or two this time Baun

By 35 points. As for the bottom comments .........it is not an admission. I lost the bet!!!!!!!Thats all!!!!! Damn!!!

LIDSTROM IS BETTER THAN BOURQUE


BUT IT'S A TRUE STATEMENT

that should stir him up

Wilson looks like the guy from SAW. "I want to play a game...I want you to make a choice. There's a slow-acting poison coursing through your system, which only I have the antidote for. Will you murder a mother and her child to save yourself? Listen carefully, if you will. There are rules."

I've read that he hasn't even taken the position yet. Seems their is an issue with money. Besides, even he does take it, neither he nor the new (existing?) GM will have any real power until Peddie is gone. He controls the show, period. That won't happen so, realistically it will be the same old same old. Too bad.

bostongm
where,s your follow up bet
Lidstrom vs Orr? I vote Orr.

Orr is clearly the best d-man the NHL has ever seen. No one compares to him.

LIDSTROM IS BETTER THAN BOURQUE
