Maple Leaf GM Ferguson fired

Finally, Maple Leaf fired their GM Ferguson.

"After full consideration of the Leafs' situation, it has become clear that change and a new direction is needed,'' stated MLSE President and CEO Richard Peddie at a press conference held at the Air Canada Centre Tuesday. "Regrettably, we did not win enough games to reach our goal, winning the Stanley Cup."

New direction? Wasn't that our direction is to win the Stanley Cup? Oops... sorry, that is our goal. Yes, direction is how to reach that goal.

Yes, we need new direction, not a new goal.

"Our ideal candidate will be a long-term builder and a short-term fixer who has an established track record of success on the ice," explained Peddie. "Along with experience and extensive knowledge in the areas of drafting and identifying talent in the professional, amateur and international ranks, this individual will be comfortable with the intense scrutiny within the Toronto hockey market and will work effectively with the media.

"He will have the full autonomy to lead this hockey club in the manner he feels is best," added Peddie.

Well, I really pray that he can really find (and better he finds) the right person in his mindset. Always, right person at the right position. Otherwise, everything is just another show, another myth, another lie in front of the camera, but no real things are on the ground.

Go Leafs Go...!
