Over a decade removed from a cup win. How much of Lou's success is tied to drafting one of the best goalies ever?

I guess we'll see.

[Roper]

Yup - I agree with kickingfrog. What have you done for me lately?
How old is he? Does he have the hunger and drive he had when he was younger?

Either way, I think Shanahan will retain control of major decisions.

[JBen]

Brodeur was great, but how much of his success was due to the trap and the system in front of him. Would bet a lot of money his stats wouldn't be anywhere near as impressive without the team and system in front of him, nor his reputation as one of the best ever.

Does the trap have any kind of place in todays game? Between rule changes and other changes I don't think so.

Hopefully he doesn't try to build a team around that. It wont work.

He will fit right in as he already has 1 foot in the grave just like the Leafs! LMAO

Will he even be alive to see the end of this supposed rebuild? Then again, will any of us?

Well at least I saw them win a Cup in my lifetime and yeah it was for real....LMAO..1967

While most of us wont get to be as old as Brampton Mike I wonder if Shanny panicked a bit picking a gm as the season is fast approaching but then again are there any other Gm's available with a proven track record? Not saying he will be the answer to everything but I like the fact he has coaching experience as well and that means he is just not a stats guy or a money guy but he actually understands and can relate to players. I dunno , time will tell.

[Wahoo]

Nay. Hardly a sign of 'rebuilding and going forward' picking a guy as old as dirt and has been around the game forever.

I wonder who's gonna end up running the show lou or shannie
