Yeah...this is real. How idiotic is this? The "offseason" has been since APRIL for the Leafs, so 10 days before hockey starts they decide to fire him?

Wow. I literally started going "WHAT. WUTTTT?" when I read this. I care about the Leafs too much

 

[flyersfan4706]

[jstewismybastardson]

I could see them firing him because he couldnt get a deal done with Gillis for luongo and Bell stepping in and putting Nonis in charge to make it happen
