Toronto Maple Leafs - Return to the top (Last attempt)

I swear this is my last attempt. I will give you guys the right to shoot me if I post another one after this.





After a disappointing 2007-2008 campaign that saw the Leafs end with a 36-35-11 record and last in the Northeast Division, the management decided it was time for some changes. GM John Ferguson Jr. Was fired. He was then replaced by former GM Cliff Fletcher, the man who landed Mats Sundin in Toronto. Head Coach Paul Maurice lasted until the season ended, where he was then fired and replaced by former San Jose Sharks coach, Ron Wilson. Captain Mats Sundin was unsure if he would return for the 08-09 season or not. He did - but, unfortunately not with the Leafs.

Re: Toronto Maple Leafs - Return to the top (Last attempt)

Goalie controversey in Toronto?

The leafs are now faced with a goaltending problem - They have 3 veterans. Martin Gerber has been given the starting job for the time being, and Curtis Joseph is the backup. But Olaf Kolzig is also with the team, playing for the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Ron Wilson and Brian Burke are faced with a decision of who to use. One of the 2 may be traded, with the possibility of waiving CuJo.

I scratched him, seeing as he's out for the year in real life. Usually, I would have left him in but I decided to see how I could do without him.
