Pierre MaGuire liked the Leafs picking up Polak.  Maguire says he is a hard hitter who blocks shots which means he sucks if the quote came from Maguire.

Nice pick up but why 3 years???

I like the signing.  He brings grit and pain in the donkey attitude the Leafs lacked last season.

It was on the western road trip near the end of the season when Reimer came in for an injured Bernier and commented that he thought he played good (something to that effect).  Carlyle replied something to the point that "that was his opinion".  If I was Carlyle I would have replied in a positive...

Anyone else here think the Leafs will package the first rounder for get a top centre?

Some Ottawa Senator fans are feeling really bad for me and other Leaf fans because of Carlyle's extension - It is the extra 2 years that bother them.  Not only that, they think the Leafs organization is more embarrassing than the Islanders.

Well Carlyle is a bit of a tool...

Were Shanahan/Nonis taking some plays out of the John Ferguson Jr. How to be a GM in the NHL manual?

He encouraged Clarkson to sign with the Leafs. Oh wait, never mind.  Bad thought.

Maybe I am wrong in this quote, but I thought I heard Carlyle mention at the end of the game 7 debacle against the Bruins that one of the assistants wanted to call a timeout during the 3rd period but Carlyle overruled him.  A voice of reasoning gets canned while the mind of incompetence gets...

No matter how high we are in the chain of command, we are accountable to someone.  Making the coach unaccountable to anyone gives the coach the green light to coach in whatever manner he chooses without any repercussions.  Now that Carlyle has been given a huge vote of confidence he better...

With that defense Raycroft and Toskala in net will guarantee a #1 pick.

I am confused as well but you did summarize my sentiments and remove some of the confusion. Thanks

I recall them disappearing against the Leafs.

I think both the Leafs and Sharks lack the killer instinct to progress in the playoffs, or for the Leafs to even make the playoffs.  The Sharks reminded me of the Senators of the early 2000s in that they would dominate during the regular season then disappear during the playoffs.  If McClellan...

And Raycroft can be the goalies coach.

Leafs will start the season on a long losing streak.  Either a core of players are traded or common sense arises and Carlyle gets fired.  I personally see nothing in Carlyle that would warrant a contract extension so I cannot he could possibly return.

I wouldn't place all your hopes in sticking with Carlyle.  What has he done to warrant any continuation as Leafs coach?

The Av's are only up 2-0, Roy has the players backs and the players want to play their heart out for Roy.  Both believe in the other and are supporting each other not only in public but on ice as well.
