I Lol'd. And scared my sleeping dog.
I got my reasons but why do you think it's a bad thing?
Were I Vancouver, I'd probably have kept with him myself. The team's lack of a cup is not exactly a strong indicator of the team's performance. I mean last year they went to the finals, this year yes they took an early exit but they also completely DOMINATED in regular season, so to me, looking at those credentials and who else is even a possibility, I'd probably have gone with him as well.
Speaking as an outsider though, I do not approve of the style he preaches, at least assuming that it's him who's telling them to stay down on the ice, go down easy, and do whatever they can to draw penalties. It's certainly effective, but I feel like they take it too far. (Granted I'm looking at is as a Toronto fan, and I'm sure there are fans of other teams who'd make the same claim against Toronto).

I would like to see different guys running the special teams myself but for the most part I think Vigneault has done a great job with the team. I disagree that he coaches them to dive. I'm not saying they're perfect but I do think the reputation they have is exaggerated. It's all good though, I'm sure when Toronto starts having some success people will dismiss them as being trappers, divers, or goons.
Your basic premise is faulty.
Yeah, like I said, I recognize that I'm viewing it as an outisder with a bias and there's a margin of error that comes with that. I think every team likely has one or two (or three) players like that. Not sure who it'd be on the Leafs, but I'm sure we've got at least one and I've just got homer goggles thick enough I don't see it.
He fucking damn well better be. Randy Carlyle and Brian Burke are all about the truculence.
*checkeredhat, 300% more likely to drop the f-bomb when drunk
New Jersey's up 2-0 in the second right now, I need the Rangers to pull off a win here...
Who's your pick for the Conn Smythe?
Doughty
I was going to say kings in 6 with 1 OT but Piotyr already made that prediction, so I'll say Kings in 6 with 2OT instead.
Not as sure about Brown getting the Conn Smythe as I was. He hasn't produced as much as of late other than a questionable hit and a possible dive.
I'm going to go with Brodeur. Bet on politics.
No image today. It's my sister's baby shower so, social duties call.

Every time I think the devils have no chance they surprise me so I'll assume they have more fight in them and say Kings in 7, 2 OT. I'll stick with Brown for Conn Smythe, but I do like the brodeur pick by checkerdhat. They really do like giving the trophy to goalies who lose in the finals don't they?
