Louie Lams is the new Leafs GM

[Bloody Brian Burke]

well done, newspaper people

"Simmons: The story of the Lamoriello hiring"

I can only imagine the the amount of bullshit contained within that bit.

Which one is "the Devil?"?

I can argue against both.

Toronto's Shanahan has made sure there is no more loyalty left in the NHL! Babcock said many times over and over he was NOT leaving Detroit? Gone is Babcock then he takes a Redwings coach and scout with him It's one thing to lie and leave but then to have the ego to come grab more of the people you worked with is BS!! Lou, same thing. Long time member of the Devils and wham Shanahan steals Lou, who by the way was under contract??

Toronto hopefully stays in the basement of the league for a very long time.

Babcock didn't say once he wasn't leaving Detroit, Lou was pushed out of the GM chair by new ownership and didn't want to sit on the sidelines. What the fuck are you on about?

You're wrong on both counts. But mainly I'm "on about" (what is that a new euro term we're supposed to all adopt to sound sophisticated?) is laughing at the worst team in hockey.

If Mike Babcock said he wasn't going to leave Detroit, why didn't he sign an extension before the end of the season?

All he ever said is that he liked coaching the Red Wings. If you can find an article to show he said he wasn't leaving, I will change my avatar to a Sens logo for a year.

As for Lou:


He was forced out, and he wasn't happy about it, and got an opportunity to be more involved day-to-day. You're seriously going to fault a guy for that? Or are you just making up shit to back up Leafs Suck comments?

What's this got to do with the Oilers?

Hmmm complete nonsense but you might have saved it with that last sentence.

Let's not let facts intrude on the matter.

When I was notified you had responded to this, I was petrified that there was some obscure quote by Babcock in an old high school newspaper saying he'd never leave Detroit before he sucked back another Natty Light.

yea the writing was on the wall when babcock did not sign an extension last summer

A move that came out of nowhere for sure, I wonder though if Lou is a placeholder until Dubas is ready to take over as full time GM of the Leafs.
