The three ring circus at MLSE

Looks like things should get mighty interesting around the Air Canada Centre the next few days as rumors swirl that Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr is about to get canned and while they're at it why don't they tell Richard Peddie to go to. (like they should have done when they canned Pat Quinn). Peddie has proven over the years that he knows shit about hockey. He was with the Raptors when MLSE bought them out, and to make matters worse they intrusted him with running the hockey team. Over the years he has managed to run the hockey minds (Dryden and Quinn) out of town and hired at the time what he said would be a future star GM when he hired JFJ, well in the 4 years since he has been in charge and the Leafs look worse than when he took charge and looking ahead to next year they already have 40 million commited to salary with the cap likely to be set at 50 it's high time to rid them selves of some bad contracts i.e., McCabe, Raycroft and Kubina.

Face it Leaf fans it won't get better till the Teachers pension fund decides to sell the team off to a owner that cares about winning, desperate Leaf fans deserve that much, unfourtunately with the corporate suits buying out the ACC the real fans get shutout and the Owners don't care. Hey Jim Basille do yourself a favour give up on buying the Nashville Predators and offer up your money to MLSE. Leaf Nation will thank you.
