Maple Leafs 3, Thrashers 6

Published by Toronto Mike on November 26, 2008 @ 10:36 in Toronto Maple Leafs

LeafsThe Lee Stempniak era is underway in Toronto. It was another dud and we've now lost twice as many games as we've won. The plan is coming together.

What plan? you're likely wondering to yourself. The plan was to shed the veterans and overpaid (Sundin, McCabe, Tucker, Raycroft), lose the failed experiments and underachievers (Wellwood, Steen, Colaiacovo), get Brian Burke and have a shitty season resulting in a sweet draft pick.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Current Record  Last Games Season Leaders

I've never understood the wish to lose, especially when your team has never drafted or developed talent well. Burke's priority should be to build your development program first and foremost, and he will trade for a big tough defenseman.
Wait for the quotes Mike - he will be fun...if you can find it, Burke's tirade on "what Sedin means" is a classic.

I'm being facetious, as I don't really have a wish to lose, but I think it was important to clear house and give the new GM a cleaner slate.

Uncle Cliffy did a pretty good job of trimming the fat and giving Burke a better shot and building a winner.

We've won 7 of 21 games and I still feel like we've overachieved.

Hey, look at it this way, Stajan has 20 points and leading the team. Who would have thunk that?
