Maple Leafs need to fire Brendan Shanahan

[@franklininterviewsvancouve8605]

Why is he still there?!?! Laughable was already years ago.

[@chadjzyk7136]

As a former Whalers fan who still holds a grudge, he should be canned

[@PatDK]

Screw grudges…he should be fired, he’s had his chances, he is the one who cleared everything that his gms did

[@ianadam6020]

I wish I had his job.

[@GabbyBabby-pp1lx]

We need new ownership, they're the root of the cancer. The entire franchise needs an overhaul.

[@MrJordwalk]

Yet, that very same ownership turned the Raptors and Toronto FC INTO CHAMPIONS.

[@dannyarroway4187]

You are absolutely right!

[@trevor8493]

He's just 1 part of a major problem

[@odonaldcoaker6892]

No hard feelings Brendan...its just business ...10 yrs with 1 playoff win is un-acceptable....dont bang the door otw out. Im sure you will not starve ...85 Million Dollar Man 😅

[@Joseph-n4c5l]

This is a no brainer. TEN YEARS of the Shanaplan.

[@stevedrums1675]

Try nearly 25 years of Sather in NY. One trip to the Finals. One.

[@YaoboyProd2K15]

49ers already moved on. But the Leafs have no plans to end the Shanaplan.

[@garylee3229]

Marner just watched Pasta skate by?? WTF is that? Disappointed playoff for Marner Keefe gets out coached once again in a playoff series!!

[@Devesci]

I love Marner, but he should be traded for a number one defenseman. Brody is finished and his contract is up. Resign the important pieces, like Domi, Bertuzzi, Edmundson etc.

[@LokiThePitbull]

Marner is a playoff ghost... every year.

[@geedubb-q1u]

Pelly has to fire him but I doubt he will with just starting in his new position But firing Keefe should happen way before the Draft. Maybe Shanahan, if he isn’t fired should be nowhere near the Draft.

[@katiemclean9089]

I'm not a true Leaf fan ,But they can't be cutup / slandered like this . There was not massive game loss Tied at the end , one goal , sudden death ending . That OT could be played again, and the Leaf's could have been the winner . This was a tight game . My only Pss Off the control and ruination of the NHL by Gary Bettmen . This creep as the manager ,and does not know a Blocker from a Jock Strap Quebec City could support a Team . Never with Bettmen . He would father give it to a place like Key West Florida or Honalula Hawaii C A McLean

[@dfsczar5150]

Shanahan is in over his head. The Tavares signing hasn’t worked for TO. He's gotta go.

[@geedubb-q1u]

The guy that signed Tavares made the same mistake in Pitt signing Karlsson.

[@sampicano]

"There are two reasons why Keefe wasn’t fired until now: It’s because: (a) Brendan Shanahan, as we’re finding out, doesn’t like to admit he’s wrong; and (b) Shanahan knows how to save a scapegoat. Shanahan certainly didn’t get to be 10 years into his tenure as Maple Leafs president by acknowledging his failings to his bosses. Which is why, after years of insisting Toronto can win with its infamous Core Four, the Core Four remains. Which is why Shanahan neglected to fire Keefe after any one of the above-listed playoff failures and last year approved a two-year guaranteed extension for Keefe that has yet to kick in. Imagine, the Leafs paying somebody not to do his job. As one industry insider put it Thursday: “They’ve been doing that with Shanahan for years.” #FireShanahan #FireShanny

[@dangraesser5341]

What is shocking is that shanny was tough and skilled and played with a killer instinct in the playoffs. So why has he accepted letting the leafs be Charmin for so many years!! Makes zero sense

[@stewartsnape2936]

Shouldn't have no movement clause cus if players ain't producing they should gtf out

[@chadoldman1143]

If Marner won't waive he should be dressed for 82 games and never play a single shift.

[@jamesquattro5214]

No keep him. He's perfect. They will never win with Shanahan

[@robertwells6724]

He hasn't proved it in ten years. What is going to change?

[@anthonylarson7919]

yep...Shanahan has no character and players know it.......

[@grantchow13]

It’s obscene that any organization would tolerate one playoff series win in 10 years.

[@HockeySense914]

I just heard the latest 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman said Keith Pelley wants to eliminate the president's role and have Brad Treliving report directly to Pelley instead of having another layer. Pelley is the new boss at MLSE and he did not hire Brendan Shanahan.

[@JeffTheLeafsFan]

I think they should fire Brendan Shanahan and make Brad Treliving both GM and president.

[@davidgriffith3938]

"How DARE the Leafs lose. Don't they know who we are? This is an OUTRAGE! I wanna speak to the Manager! I want that guy fired!" - Fans of the Toronto Karen Leafs

[@ZapperJohn]

If the team is profitable, he will stay...

[@bradd.7829]

The Leafs are operating perfectly as far as ownership is concerned. Have you seen their bank balance?

[@people3865]

Shanny has made MLSE more money than any president in Leafs history. They aren't firing him.

[@dougmills9383]

Somebody pls fire his Butt! Many people are giving up on Toronto Sports altogether!

[@bobknight6394]

Hire Gilmore for president!

[@canadianroot]

Happy Gilmore? Or Doug Gilmour?

[@alanwasserman306]

If he isn’t gone fans need to boycott the team - coach needs to go as well

[@bigkanuna]

The Toronto Maple Leaf's are like Stan Mikita's Chicago Blackhawks, full of talent didn't play as a team and only won one Stanley cup. You build a team from the back end forward. Brenden Shanahan needs to go.

[@crsantin]

They need to replace everyone. Time to start over.

[@bindardondat5292]

Shanny had his turn. Time to step aside

[@brianbriscoe2630]

It doesn't matter who runs or coaches the leafs. They will never win a cup. For them just to go to the second round is like winning a cup. The fans keep showing up thinking this will be their year. To non-leaf fans, this is a big joke. No other team in the NHL continues to pack their arenas with the record the leafs have. This won't change.

[@DarylRenz]

Oh you read the future, Keep your day job you sound like someone that thinks trump is still president ,

[@LanceDutrizac-p9t]

Never understood the Tavares hype & captaincy. Just one of the many top down misguided ideas from the start for this leafs management team. They should all be fined & have their team stocks frozen if playoff quotas are not met. If the team's not winning in playoffs? management forfeits their paychecks & stock options! New system. Being rewarded well again & again for poor playoff results is a recipe for coronic counterproductivness. Thats Leafs hockey.

[@bedbath9056]

No team will take Marner, his trade value is negative, leafs needs to retain salary (30%) plus add 2024 1st round pick just to get rid of Marner if NMC is off.

[@coconutcoconutjoe6912]

He's got a cushy job. He raised ticket prices every year so we cannot see any upgrade.

[@JohnWeichel]

Brendan shanahan need to be fired

[@geraldabanid4385]

Leafs must keep pushing on. Brendon is fine where he is.

[@Parmen0901]

You are absolutely entitled to your wrong opinion.

[@drewkoenen8334]

As soon as they hired Shanahan I knew there was no Cup coming our way.

[@Dan-nt2yb]

The 4 overpaid and unproven kids have ruined everything.👎🏾

[@simchou7828]

Shanahan needs to go to the Detroit Red Wings or join his buddy in Edmonton

[@alviney5138]

I would posit the owners look at the profit of the business and judge Shanahan on that / that winning a Cup is meaningless to them / only people who want cups are the fans, players and coaches / as long a Brendan delivers big profits why fire him ?? Marner is slick but he doesn't seem to have the toughness to help in the playoffs - so will another team pay big for fancy passing ??

[@Smf7161]

Yes, Shanoplan is a joke, and the team has gone nowhere in the past 8 years! An over-haul is necessary from top to bottom? Leaf fans deserve, BETTER!

[@LuzGoncena-qn4xt]

I did not watch the game. I already had strange feeling that the Leafs will lose again. 😢

[@biffdanielson2820]

Correction, the Maple Leafs need to fire their whiny fans.

[@troygach9228]

Fire him for... Not trading Matthews when you had the chance or not trading Willy when you had the chance?? Or not firing the coach that shouldn't have been there in the first place!!! Let's fire the most winning coach in nhl history because a player cryed over making a list lol the players running the leafs and that why they lose in the playoffs each and every year!!! Matthews and Willy is almost half of the cap and yet NO ONE sees the problem huh!!! Trade both of them guys and tons of draft picks and 3 brinks trucks are not going down the drain!! Sign stamkos and still have 2&1/2 brinks trucks yet to spend on defense & goaltending!!

[@brunoliegghio3176]

The coach with the most wins in NHL history is Scottie Bowman and I don't recall him coaching the Leafs.

[@craigharrison5406]

Babcock isn't even close to the winningest coach in NHL history and he's shown again to be a confirmed Dbag in Columbus. Ya trade all their top guys for a bunch of coin flips and never even qualify for the playoffs again....great solution. The problem is Marner, Tavares and Rielly but you brought up the two guys who actually did something in the series.

[@troygach9228]

He has more wins then the rest of the leaf coach's after him combined, So your saying let cry baby's run your team & NEVER ever win in the playoffs then?

It’s the players. They’re all capable but they simply don’t put in the effort until they’re well behind the eight ball. Maybe Shanahan should come out of retirement and put on the blades.

[@rydermccracken9199]

69 goals but can’t win a cup let alone barely win a series haha 69 doesnt mean shit when he doesn’t score in the post season every year your top scorers are no where to be found. Matthews was gone two games and Toronto played good and won he comes back has an assist on a bad defensive play the dude tripped and other than that Matthews was invisible out there one goal in 7 games come on that’s terrible Valero nichushkin avs second line forward has seven goals in 5 games now that’s a playoff performer glad we have sakic at the helm the greatest clutch player of all time and the best wrist shot of all time if he didn’t play in the dead puck era when scoring was at an all time low In the nhl dude would definitely be in top 5 goal scorer of all time. I think Toronto fans should just start rooting for the avs at this point t hahahaha
