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
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%.
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
Leafs get a point!
Lol
You’re bang on. One of my favourite players turned into one of my most hated executives. Shanny set us back, big time.
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.
hopefully the Leafs can muster a few more shot on net.
Still at 9… fuck sakes boys… shoot the fucking puck more
Had we kept Lou and Babs, we’d have 2-3 Cups. Fact. Case dismissed.
Shanny didn’t want to listen to them, I’m guessing that’s all it was.
True. Wonder if he has the stones to fire Chief…
And bring back Babcock. Before you laugh, consider what coach Q is up to.
Wasn’t me who had an issue with Babcock, that was the players.

McCabe McCabeTreliving: ok here’s who I better move
AND JT AGAIN!!!!! 👍😘👍
Ha. For a guy with a dad like Jim and having learned from absolute legends like O’Leary and Chilton, you’d think the guy would be a bit more business savvy.
Grew up with parents that did a little too much work for him.
And fuck… tie game
I’d take Keith Aulie over Carlo at this point FFS
I would get Bryan McCabe out of retirement to make that pair myself.
Be the perfect BJ pair 👍😀👍😀
Can only hope Tree is thinking
Fixed you post lol 😉
I’m FAIRLY certain you’re kidding, but if he could somehow pull this off, just put Tre in the Hall of Fame tomorrow.
Rielly obviously says no too, though.
lol I was joking but if it WAS possible I’d personally buy and deliver a rifle for Treliving to point at Rielly 😘
Carlo reminds me of Marincin.
Stop being a f’n sweetheart lol
Treliving thought he brought in a “tough” guy, but forgot to bring in the first two letters and that’s all he’s left saying.
And there’s the proof *shakes head*
Absolutely, all day long
It’s why they’re buying Kampf out, they needed an extra mill or so in cap space to make it work, my belief finally has a hope 🤞😍
