If you got the chance to can John Ferguson's inept ass for his ruination of the Leaf's Nation, what words would you use?

I can't imagine saying much to the man, other than to repeatedly throw a cell-phone at him a la the Sprint commercial until he left. Then burning the chair and desk at which he bungled a play-off contender into the toilet in a public exorcism.

Also, Luke Richardson will be invited to sell hot-dogs on York Street game nights rather than actually play.

He can have Mariusz Czerkawski's cart.

What were you expecting was going to happen before the trade deadline?

Did you see his interview on TSN during the Leaf/Habs game Monday? He said they were looking to build with youth and if you read between the lines there were going to be no big trades. Luke's time with the Leafs will be to help develop the young defensemen coming up while Kaberle and McCabe focus on playing.

Klee was traded for a prospect and draft pick which equals youth.

I'm thinking Belfour will be paid his 1.5 million to walk away at the end of the year.

I also predict that Pat Quinn will be moving on after this season and a coach that is more youth friendly will be brought in.

Which is why I said this: The Toronto Maple Leafs need a complete overhaul, starting from the top, namely the GM and coaches.

It's nice Fergusons focusing on building up with youth but that is not the whole problem. Years of corruption and mismanagment (the least of which gambling on damaged goods such as Lindros and Czerkawski) doesn't help matters much. Fresh new faces are whats needed. It might also help for the organization to carefully scout out prospects like the Senators did and build their team from that. Look where the Senators are today?

I said it at the end of the last season, Pat needs the boot. Our guys are too old, we need some young guys there.

Ottawa is considering acquiring Jokinen and Luongo from Florida. There is even rumour of acquiring J.S. Giguere...

Frankly I don't care for any of those except Luongo, I think he could do great things for Ottawa...

[LABBATTS50]

Fire him? What? I figured all is well in Leaf land now, big trade for Luke Richardson, a return to the glory years of the late eighties!!

PLAN THE PARADE ROUTE!!!!!

Jokinen is definitely staying in Flordia (bad move if he ever wants to make it to the playoffs in his lifespan but money is everything) and I don't think the Sens are making any moves for netminders at the moment. Then again you could be right since Hasek is pretty much....done as his latest injury means anything.

Just heard that Carolina made a BIG move to get Recci...keeps getting better and better for them. At least they are powering up their already powerful offense.

Panthers ink Jokinen to 4-year, $21M deal

Rambling through the empty corridors of JFJ's mind....

1) fire Pat Quinn... bring back the ghost of roger nielsen.. or even Punch Imlach....
then his mind turns to players.....

Only return to glory would be if they:

1) bring Gary Leeman, Wendel Clark and Doug Gilmour back
2) Get Felix Potvin and Curtis Joseph back in net
3) find out if Salming, Sittler, Thompson Turnbull and MacDonald all still have skates.
4) bring in some veteran leadership for the room... Syl Apps,Red Berenson

hey Fergie good on ya.. a coach who can't do the job and a bunch of players who can't either... too close to the cap.. no deals... hmmm no soup for you... Harold ballard must be laughing in his grave... Spring is coming but it's autumn in Toronto... lets all watch the leafs fall.... LMAO blue and white.. LMAO

Oh and you even managed to piss off Carl Lindros.. Hey Mr. Lindros... SSHHAAADDUUUPPPPP!!!!! your son is old enough to make decisions... unless he had another drunk snowmobile accident with his brother.....

that why Hamilton will never be granted an NHL expansion team... cause Toronto will immediately demand one too.
