@DanWilspn @tavkniesnythews Idk lol but that should’ve been the last straw. Matthews was heated at him and called him out when he seen him for the first time after he leaked that

@LeafsLLoser @tavkniesnythews Who is willingly talking to this guy 😭
English
Should've been fired YEARS ago after he asked Matthews "what was it like playing the worse game you played all season" (Matthews had a hatty this game too)
jen@tavkniesnythews
Steve Simmons is one of the most embarrassing, garbage human beings in hockey. Media privileges privilege to these availability’s should be revoked yesterday. He is by far, and it’s not close, the most toxic reporter in Toronto. Ask a question without being disrespectful for once, goof.
English
@nascarfanbw23 I’m not coping. I’m genuinely intrigued by Chayka and I’m glad the organization didn’t hire someone who already worked for a bunch of different organizations and is 60 years old
English
@LeafsLLoser Saying he’s better than Brad just seems like a cope. Any candidate is likely better
English
I will say the hilarious part about journalism is you can quite literally just make stuff up and never be fact checked or second guessed (not saying he’s making it up)

Steve Simmons goes at Keith Pelley for hiring John Chayka. This was something.
English
@DanWilspn @tavkniesnythews Matthews had Covid around June of 2020 and Simmons somehow got that scoop and posted it on here
English
@nascarfanbw23 I mean Treliving was one of the worst GMs in Leafs history and Chayka is way smarter than him. I’m intrigued by the hiring and will give him a chance to build the club with more resources around him that he didn’t have with the Coyotes
English
🤖@LeafsLLoser
@LebronCherry @JohnnyGiunta_ Similar I would say but he was already in the organization for years and was being taught. Dubas built the best Leafs teams in the last 20 years and probably was overhated. Treliving & Berube made me appreciate Dubas & Keefe more Old boys club doesn’t like anyone who is smarter
QME
@LeafsLLoser You deleted the post, but I'm still a Dubas and Keefe believer. Seeing the minute amount of success compared to our entire lack of it was proof enough to me. No Sheldon Keefe ever called Matthews PKer.
English
@nascarfanbw23 @dickiehat @JohnnyGiunta_ The old boys club hates anyone who isn’t recycled by multiple organizations. I don’t give af that they hate Chayka…, they would’ve hated Gillis too. It literally does not matter to me. Chayka has a job to do and I will judge him based on what happens going forward
English
@LeafsLLoser @dickiehat @JohnnyGiunta_ You can go outside the boys club without hiring someone everyone hates
English
@EverydayJobber @dickiehat @JohnnyGiunta_ Other GMs hated Dubas too lol what? Also who cares if they hate him. Accept that anyone who works for the Leafs will not be liked or respected and treated differently around the league. Treliving wasn’t like either and he was more like the old boys club
English
@LeafsLLoser @dickiehat @JohnnyGiunta_ Kyle Dubas isn't part of the old boys club, was also insanely young for a GM, made team altering mistakes, but is still respected by other executives. If other GMs Chyka, it'll be pretty unlikely he'll do anything of substance besides con MLSE like he did the Coyotes

Old boys club doesn’t like anyone who is smarter

Not a single question to Chayka about what he thinks was behind this team's downfall and what areas he will priorize in order to fix this.
English
@JohnnyGiunta_ It’s actually kind of crazy that the organization still allows him to have a press pass. Leaking Matthews private medical info should’ve been the end for him
English
English
@thatssoleafy77 @reporterchris Shut up pussy, Chayka was a terrible hire and pelly is retarded.
English
The best way to describe that press conference:
Uncomfortable
English
@redtailsforever @puckempire Well good thing humans are allowed to learn from past mistakes. I’m intrigued by the hiring and he’s miles better than what Treliving was
English
@LeafsLLoser @puckempire Forfeiting draft picks is a good thing.
English
Another NHL insider saying people around the league where shocked and laughed at Toronto hiring John Chayka.
Rob Simpson@simmerpuck
@puckempire @LynchOnSports Hmmmm. Spoke to just 4 agent/management types and got laughter/disbelief. Recall during the Arizona disaster, multiple sources weren’t at all impressed. — This hire is a shocker.
English
@dickiehat @JohnnyGiunta_ Story was blown way out of proportion. Chayka made mistakes but the guy was hired at 26 years old to run a hockey team and it wasn’t a good organization. I think he deserves another chance to build a team with proper resources around him. I like that the old boys club hates him
English
@LeafsLLoser @JohnnyGiunta_ No they don’t like him because he went behind the leagues back and cheated at the combine
English
John Chayka said he had a brief conversation with Craig Berube Sunday night.
He and Sundin will meet with Berube later this week
English
@super_io84 @MapleLeafs Because the NHL is an old boys club. People need to chill and give the guy a chance to fix this club. It’s already encouraging that he understands the importance of puck movers on the back end
English
@MapleLeafs 20+ GM’s have been hired since he last had a job. Did anyone at MLSE ask one important question.. why hasn’t anyone else given him at least a sniff at an opening in the last 5-6 years?
English
@thegoldenmuzzy “Being able to build the team from the back end, the way you break the puck out, the way you move through the neutral zone”
That’s not a Berube hockey team. He’s toast thankfully
English
Official: Leafs running it back with Nylander, Matthews, and Berube.

@KyleSoobas @ReeseBeLeaf @fksambennett You think any real Leafs fan would throw their hands up in excitement when the Habs score? It’s just embarrassing
English
@LeafsLLoser @ReeseBeLeaf @fksambennett He’s hosting a stream, my guy. You think people will watch if he’s dull?
English
Goes crazy when the leafs don’t win and then hops on another teams bandwagon

@ReeseBeLeaf @fksambennett He isn’t rooting for them. He’s doing a simulcast of the games, calling them as a fan of neither team - as are the other two co-owners of their company which is their main (and possibly sole) source of income.
