*** 2011-12 NHL Regular Season Thread ***

[PortFin]

I think a new coach would do the Leafs good. I don't know if I said this before, but I always kind of root for the Leafs a little because the team I grew up playing on was called the Maple Leafs and we had the same jerseys. Well, minus the "Toronto" emblazoned on the leaf anyway. So, I try to keep tabs on them a bit. I'd like to see them turn it around. I wouldn't be surprised if Burke hires Carlyle to replace Wilson since they won a Stanley Cup together.

Just hope he doesn't hire Crawford!

Leafs are done. I fear for Ron Wilson's job at this point. If we lose on Saturday night to the Habs, I believe that may be it. 1-9-1 in the last 11... just pathetic. I knew this would happen at some point, but I didn't think it'd be this bad. We managed to slide from 5th to 11th in just 3 weeks. What a lousy team.

Are you a mind reader? ...

Ha! I totally called Carlyle getting the job.

Dallas up 1-0 on the Oilers halfway through. God I hope they find a way into the playoffs this year. They always end up in 9th it seems

Sounds like someone had inside info.

Wouldn't that be nice? Maybe they could hook me up with an NHL job, too lol

I do know a guy that works for CBJ, but unfortunately he's not important enough to make hiring decisions lol

"Real_ESPNLeBrun Pierre LeBrun
Burke confirms TSN analyst Marc Crawford was also considered as a replacement"

That was close, Ricky_Fan34!! Yesterday was your lucky day lol!

Carlyle's first game is a televised game vs the Habs. Can't ask for a better introduction into Leafs Nation than to pick up a victory in that one. Of course, if they lose, Leafs fans will call for him to be fired

As for my Stars, they are now 5-0-1 in their last six. Let's keep it going!
