according to RDS...

Goaltending consultant Allaire parts ways with Maple Leafs

 

[puckhead]

obviously to clear the way for Luongo to bring his own entourage

He was afraid of monsters?

too many chefs in the kitchen, sounds like

not in this story but his other quote was "I wasn't able to do my job"
that can be taken a few ways, however.

With #Leafs goal coach Allaire on way out my bet is Curtis Joseph will be next goalie coach. Can anyone think of better guy who's available?

Heck, I think Curtis Joseph would be the best goalie in the Leafs organization if this happens...

Yep, 29 other goalie coaches that will be out of work this year.

That's not far from the truth.

The Leafs have 2 AHL quality goalies as it stands right now. Either could get hot and carry you for a bit, but I think over the course of a season, their flaws will become (or have become) exposed. You certainly can't blame Allaire for everything, but I don't see any evidence that suggests he was getting the most from his goalies; so, see ya later...

"To be honest, I don't think the Leafs need a goalie coach," Allaire told The National Post on Monday.

"I think they have enough of them. They have two or three guys who were making decisions with the goalies. In the NHL, that's not the way it works. If that's the way they want to operate, then I'm not there."

boom to the nuts

Sounds like the Leafs motto should be "Burkes way or the highway"

"Burke Blasts Performance Of Francois Allaire"

/lately ... everyone leaving an MLSE franchise leaves on bad terms

BURKE WAS FORCED TO BE AN ASS!!!

The Leafs GM said Allaire’s comments forced him to step away from his long-standing policy of never criticizing a current or past member of his staff and offered his trademark good wishes and thanks.

Burke, who steadfastly defended Allaire throughout media calls for his ouster, then shredded the job delivered by the most famous goalie coach in the sport.

Allaire’s approach with his goalies, Burke said, hadn’t altered even though rule changes meant his insistence on the butterfly technique wasn’t working.

“The position has evolved in the last three to five years,” Burke said. Nobody plays the classic stand-up any more either. Everything advances.”

Hey Burke maybe you should find a goalie who can actually play the position at the NHL level before you blast a coach.

Right around the same time he handed Wilson a contract extension.


/ok, it was a little before, but the point still stands.

LOL

A lot can change in 6 months. Especially when you go 6-9-3 with a 3.32 GAA from that date on.



/actually, that's not far off the season average.

Confirmed; it is indeed Rick St. Croix.

Not a bad choice.
