@davidalter I find that pathetic. This guy is a lifelong boardroom weasel. He better get a hockey pro in there real fast. He knows nothing about hockey

Just realized that Keith’s glasses perfectly colour coordinate with the backdrop he speaks in from of 🤓
English
good lord we are so fucked. we are gonna run it again. Reilly glued to PP1, Matthews circling the drain and waiting for contract end, Nylander floating around. Scoring but floating around. Rogers too busy fleecing the cell market to care. Corporate tax writeoffs filling the seats

Keith Pelley says he doesn't foresee a rebuild for the #leafs because they already have "foundational pieces in place."
English
the more Pelley droned on about temu level corporate speak and just generally uninspiring bullshit, the wider his arms got.
English
@Skateordie416 yes, less chatter, less opposing opinions and more direct connect for Pelley to sit in on team ops. He is the new Rogers version of Shanahan.
English
@Simmsation I will never understand why the VP operations level was removed. That to me reeks of cost savings and bottom line.
English
you mean like the vision strategy tactics of firing Shanahan and not replacing him, sitting in on and approving all major trades and negotiations, raising ticket prices and merch, and keeping tre for trade deadline. That vision strategy tactics?
Toronto Maple Leafs@MapleLeafs
Vision. Strategy. Tactics.
English
I like how Pelley's entire vision, strategy and tactics were blind sided by Buffalo and Montreal actually outperforming the MLSE front office, let alone on the ice. Pelley was RELYING upon other teams to be lousy. That was the vision.
English
and I'll have 2 nothingburgers to go. get this corporate schill off my timeline and off my team. GTFO Pelley, do one.

Pelley: pretty much the entire leagues does much more, with much less. 💸💸💸
English
@HockeyFanTML the guy is more fascinated with "the first" than "the best". Wickenheiser would be a virtue signal, and would not have autonomy. Pelley would be running the major trades and payroll.
English
@Simmsation This fascination that gender has anything to do with your qualifications is so 1950's.

this guy is still at the NDP convention
Ian Kennedy@IanKennedyCK
Wouldn't this be a moment for Hayley Wickenheiser to become the first woman to serve as an NHL general manager....
English
@Simmsation Trees was hired because Shanny knew he would keep control. I wonder what Trees does if had control from the start, probably trades Marner before the no move. The entire brain trust of this team needs to go over the moves in the last season and summer imo.
English
this is the kind of half assed GM'ing you get when the NHL keeps hiring from the graveyard of failed but "experienced" GMs. oh yea, that Calgary stint was mesmerizing, let's hire THAT guy. total clownshow. Watch them do it again, another boneyard hire. ☠️

An incrediblly sad CV from the Leafs GM

does John Tavares have a full on learning disability?
David Alter@davidalter
"It's shocking." The Leafs reacted to the news of their GM being let go following their 5-4 OT win against Anaheim, admitting that it's a reflection on the players' poor performance this season. But now what? thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-ma…
English
I want Pridham but if it means Pelley basically running the show, no fucking thank you. We seen that movie. 0 stars. So yea, this is a Pelley graveyard we attending for the next 5 years.🤮
English
Pelley is another Brendan Shanahan with needing a stooge GM underneath. "oh I negotiated a terrible deal for Rogers Sportsnet and NHL, so I can do this too". Look for a botched re-tread GM hire (Treliving 2.0) or a newbee just grateful for the title (eg Wickenheiser or Pridham)🫥

This one too 😂

"the organization is grateful ... ". JFC take a customer survey for once in your life MLSE. read twitter. there is not 1 single fan of your incompetent team that is grateful. DO ONE.

@SportsnetSpec @WeAreCanProud shut the fuck up, you snivelling out of touch irrelevant scribbler

You're disrespecting Joni Mitchell, and you call yourself Canada Proud?
Sit down, shut up, and show some respect, @WeAreCanProud

Are you tired of listening to these washed-up celebrities praise Mark Carney while not even living in Canada?
