Don’t get me wrong UG, that’s my point, I’m thinking Shanny called it “his team” too soon, even if he was the president.
Or a lack of loyalty from Shanahan towards Lou. Shanahan thought he had the boy wonder when he picked Dubas. Or knew he could control him as a puppet GM. He went with the spreadsheets instead of the experience of a multiple time Cup champion HHOF builder.
Lou was manager of the year, at least once if not twice with the NYI. If he stayed, the Leafs would have been better and gone further. Can’t say they’d win for sure but a better chances for sure. He wouldn’t have played games with the stupid contracts or allow the country club to control the team.
I’d bring him back today to rebuild this team properly as hockey president.
I don’t know, believe what you want but I just think it’s a lot simpler.
Shanny just couldn’t lean on the guy who drafted him when it came to the team he was running. It’s like expecting dad to take care of your house. lol
There is a bitterness there, they both started the same year.
Lou became GM of NJ 87-88 (year 1 lol) and it was him who drafted Shanny who started playing the same year lol.
Shanny couldn’t take it again in Toronto lol

Shanahan pushed Lou out the door because he refused go learn from the expert. That was the beginning of the end, already then.
Doughty was always right about this team. 100%.

Outshot 37-15.
88 to 34 in attempts. On home ice. Disgusting.
Leafs get a point!
Lol
A great player wanted to be the great office man I get it, but he didn’t learn first. He could have sat back there, when he started, take it all in from who he got to begin with, and he’d be still running them now in a way we can’t even think of.
