Johns Johnson

The way my heart seized up when we landed here

That first pick feeling!

LOL

On Steve Simmons... I have no issue with the premise of his question, asked cordially. For example: "Based on my research, it seems John Chayka's a polarizing figure around the league. In fact, most of the people I talked to were surprised by your decision to hire him. Can you elaborate on your due diligence process and share your perspective on the incidents which led to punishment from the league?" I mean, that's a heater as written. I have an issue with calling John Chayka a liar and a con man, as corroborated by 19 of 20 anonymous sources. I have an issue with an experienced journalist hijacking the press conference, turning it into a spectacle about an uncommonly explosive question. Especially in this setting. I think it's a disservice to the staff and the fan base. The biggest issue I have, though, is that he directed the question to Keith Pelley. John Chayka is sitting right next to him. If you want to call the guy a liar and a con man, at least have the courtesy to say it to him directly. The problem is... it's a lot like when a Karen starts an argument with an employee at a Best Buy. Karen has no obligation to conduct herself in any particular way - she's free to fly off the handle. The employees are wearing a uniform. There are customers in the store. They don't have the same luxury. It's a gutless exchange. Par for the course from Steve Simmons.

I hope Matthews leaves in 2 years. Shouldn’t have to deal with this bullshit.

@ochodrinko85 Same goes for elevator.. or if your on the subway for 1 stop. All perfomative.

It’s kind of funny that marner’s parents moved with him, he’s eternally 12 years old

@SamAMcKee @FAN590 W/o Dakota, oel, Willy, tanev and Knies playing injured it is tough. Give it everything till the Olympics, if we’re more than 4pts off the wildcard, sell Mcmann and look at what value you can get for others. Other option is dougie, but imo would need to b now. Thoughts?

We’re a day late on this but we’re doing McKee’s Midweek Maple Leaf mailbag…interesting times 🫣. Send in your thoughts and questions and we’ll read in our Leafs hour! @FAN590

@SamAMcKee @FAN590 11 games until Olympic break. How many points do you think we need to stay in playoff contention? If we are in contention who would be your number 1 guy to add before deadline? Who’s the #1 guy you would want to sell if we are sellers? Is Stolarz alive?

Wednesday means McKee's Maple Leafs Midweek Mailbag on Real Kyper & Bourne! Send in your questions & thoughts and we'll read them in our Leafs Hour! Thanks! @FAN590

Auston Matthews HOLY TOE DRAG RELEASE, what a shot and a cheeky little celly 😏

THATS VINTAGE FKN MATTHEWS

Fuck this team kinda rocks right now what the hell

This is the song being currently played in the Leafs locker room after tonight’s win 😂

Fair enough. Deserves his flowers. I was very much anti Lalonde when we hired and for the first few months of the season.

@KeeganMatheson Mitch Marner should have taken media training from this guy

@WatchMyReview Unreal tweet Edna hahhahaha

BRUTAL suggestion. You don't need to go to "A tough coach" if you fire the tough coach you hired in 2024'.. I wouldn't trust Sid's advice on traffic on the DVP if he still hosted that horrific morning show.

@CanadianLays @AU5T0N Tanev Benoit pp1

@JohnsJohnson0 @AU5T0N At least with lalonde they might not give up as many SHG’s…. right….

Lalonde running the powerplay, and the GM fully supports the head coach. yay….

@CanadianLays @nylanderthews Very true. Think they’re handing out tickets outside scotia right now

@nylanderthews @JohnsJohnson0 Feels like an MLSE choice.. brad were certainly choose his own job security over chiefs. Possibly don’t wanna pay him to sit at home like they did Babs… especially with the revenue loss of home games🤣

The notion that Treliving doesn’t want to make a coaching change is extremely concerning as a Leafs fan. Not for the fact that he still thinks Berube should be behind the bench, but for the fact that MLSE is seemingly letting him make the decision when he should be fired too.
