Foolish move for the Leafs not to at least try to retain Eakins with perhaps an assistant's job. Of course that would look to Carlyle like they were just waiting to replace him. Carlyle doesn't seem to work all that well at times with the young guys. I think Edmonton might turn it around with him.

Thanks for clarifying that Bustaheims. Knowing that, we'll have to wait and see if it will at least be opened up for discussion at that time.

Maybe I'm looking at this through blue and white coloured glasses, but Kessel is one of the best the Leafs had since maybe Sundin (?) . He's still only 25 and it's only been 3/4 years here so any statement to his long term potential and about his tenure with the team is premature, but this...

So GM Nonis gives praise to Kessel's performance in the playoffs, but isn't urgent to re-sign him this year as he has one year left on his contract.  ??? link Is Nonis waiting to see how Kessel plays next season? Would it be that Kessel no longer wants to play for Toronto and wants to move on...

You're right and I do ask myself the same thing. If Nonis traded Kessel, what the heck would he get for him? I don't see anyone out there that's worth it. So I hope he doesn't go that route. I also hope that Nonis doesn't sit on this and allow the 2013-2014 season to come and go without a new...

That's good.  :) And honestly, I too see a lot of good that came out of this season overall. It just royally sucks that it had to end that way. I hate that the Leafs will possibly be stigmatized for a long time by That Game. There are many other sports teams that came back with a vengeance...

I really liked Phil Kessel in this series. The one bright spot in this round was that he shut up the critics. I know it's his job and he gets paid the big bucks for it but I liked how he was one of the first to face the media after that devastating loss in game 7. He didn't cast any blame or...

That game was just cruel. Epic Collapse. The saddest part is that that last game will take away from all the good that they achieved this year. Not fair! I honestly am not sure what to think. And about the Leaf haters. Yes, this epic collapse gives them ample fuel to keep up with their...

And since the thread is still here: "Leafs reach out to fan knocked out in Boston" http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2013/05/07/toronto-maple-leafs-give-tickets-kyle-hay.html?cmp=rss Not a huge deal but a nice gesture.

Absolutely classless. This guys does not deserve any attention from CBC or any other media outlet.

:( :'(

I mentioned that I heard about this in the game thread, but didn't know there was a video. I'm almost hesitant to watch it. I also mentioned the hateful tweet (that most people know about by now) against Kessel by Cameron Frye that's being talked about on Twitter right now. I know on person...

Was at work during the whole game tonight, and saw a few people peering into their Iphones and Tablets blasting the game in stony silence. I was too nervous to ask the score. This is wonderful to come home to, believe me. Just watched game in 6. Yes, this is one game and I don't know how this...

Thank you for this Deebo. Woa!  :o These guys have been fixtures at TSN for ages!

It goes far beyond rivalry. I swear, with a couple of teams and their fans, it's built so much more on hatred for the Leafs (and possibly TO) than for the love of their own club.

So very true!

I live in a city where there are LOTS of Leaf haters. And with them loosing for so long it's worse. I just try to avoid the subject but yea it's a pain. People just love hating the Leafs more than loving their own team.

Good point. Jesus effing hates us all.  :'( Being dramatic here.
