A Mess in leaves of land

Everyone in Toronto is in a panic. The leaves are a loss and again after 40 years without a drink we are all up in arms. Blame whoever you want, but the point is that this team has not had a solid foundation to build for years. Like any good organization construction of a winner starts from the top and filtered. When was the last time the leaves had a strong leadership? Pat Quinn was certainly a good leader, but his hands were tied to some extent. As Cliff Fletcher. No people, we must look towards the top and start with the property.

The Pension Board of the professor owns the equipment. Like many NHL teams are owned by a large group? Of course there are many markets with groups investment and "silent partners". The difference here is the factor of profitability. Everyone in business wants to be profitable, but you can not dismiss the fact that is of greatest importance to a group of actors pension. Imagine ... Leafs lose the money, declining pensions and the teacher can not leave. With the Toronto market, probably never happen. And with the pension group have this team of greed and lack of respect for the heritage not expect a cup of short-term. What Toronto needs is a sole proprietor or a group with a dependent and focused on winning.

Focused on winning? What an idea! Can you imagine if the Leafs had the same commitment Ottawa or New Jersey or Detroit. Well, if they admit it or not Peddie and Tanenbaum are two of the most attention of hockey executives there. One is the Yin Yang others. While one says "they were not doing this" the other is doing exactly the opposite. Success comes from the direction and leadership requires the adequacy and consistency. How is the rest of the organization supposed to know what's going on, if these two clowns do not know what is and what is down? To the credit of offering Tanenbaum more in terms of wanting to win and hockey knowledge, but being a minority shareholder of the last word is always left to Peddie. Why keep these types? , Or otherwise, why keep Peddie? Obviously, it becomes a non-profit and that is what the junta wants, but be realistic. The Maple Leafs are the most close to a sure shot ROI as any product can possibly be. See Harold Ballard. Such fans ripped off for years and still holds in cash. Commitment to winning is clearly the last thing on the minds of the Pension Boards.

John Ferguson, Jr.? What else is there to say. He has made some brutal mistakes. Overpaying, no commerce clause, the business prospects in the draft, ... and the list goes on and on. Clearly this man not ready for prime time, when our friend Peddie brought him in. Who is to blame? Both, of course. Accountability and ownership has not been a strong point for anyone, and yes, if its leaders are not responsible Do you think everyone else in the food chain is? I have some empathy for Ferguson. Want to say, if my boss ran continuously through the media has to Peddie as Ferguson would probably lose my marbles. That does not mean that Peddie not correct for the deficiencies of Ferguson is just that some things should be left behind closed doors. But Peddie needs a scapegoat and someone take responsibility. It is not the we know it is. A true leader will always have the backs of their team no matter what the circumstances. Once again, Peddie does not prove anything in the department leadership. When you're a witness who consider such behavior is acceptable and follower will follow.

Paul Maurice? Give him a chance. You can not do chicken salad from chicken shit. From day one has been working with limited talent trying to make the best of it. I think he has a real desire to win ... one of the few in the organization.

At the end of the day, changing the GM and coaches will work on saving the Leafs. They need to start at the top and work down. Let's get a new owner, CEO and President, with the knowledge and passion for hockey in Toronto. That the President to hire a GM that is ready for prime time and let the GM deal with day to day hockey operations and make decisions without interference. A patchwork job will not work here friends. This will be an extremely long process.

Description

WALTONS:COMP 8TH SSN - DVD Movie

Narratively speaking, The Waltons: The Complete Eighth Season is overwhelmingly defined by World War II and its impact on the Walton family and their friends. Make that the Waltons' extended family: a new character, Rose Burton (Peggy Rea), cousin to matriarch Olivia (Michael Learned), moves into the Virginia clan's home with two troubled grandchildren, Jeffrey (Keith Mitchell) and Serena (Martha Nix). Their numbers swell the household considerably. But with Olivia's sudden departure--halfway through the season--to become a Red Cross volunteer, and with three of the Walton boys in various kinds of active duty and Grandma (Ellen Corby) on an extended visit elsewhere, the Walton population goes up and down almost daily. Despite all the commotion, season eight tightly focuses on the ripple effect of the war. The two-part season opener "The Home Front" finds John Walton (Ralph Waite) in the unenviable position of running the local draft board and making determinations about the fitness of local boys to go into the U.S. Army. When one young man (Glenn Withrow) has to be talked out of going AWOL and ends up dead while shipping out, the boy's grieving father comes gunning for a Walton offspring in revenge. The story also illustrates the backwoods nature of much of the community in the shadow of Walton's Mountain--people suspicious of the government, of outsiders, of educated folk. (In the episode "The Diploma," Mary Ellen (Judy Norton-Taylor), a nurse, rides horseback to go on rounds checking on skeptical hillbillies who want no outside interference.) "The Innocents" finds Olivia advocating for the unsupervised children of women working in a local factory while their men are off at war. "The Journal" finds Olivia and John forced to confront the disappearance of their oldest son, John-Boy, who is missing-in-action. "The Silver Wings" is a Summer of '42-like story involving the Waltons' youngest son, Jim-Bob (David W. Harper), and his attraction to a woman whose husband is off flying bombers in Europe. "The Unthinkable," arguably the best episode in the eighth season, concerns a Jewish army buddy (Todd Susman) of Jason's (Jon Walmsley), who encounters anti-semitism in the service at the same time he receives a letter indicating his beloved grandfather died in a Nazi extermination camp. What makes the show special, in part, is the way patriarch John must deny to himself and others that such camps, in all their inhumanity, can't possibly exist in modern times. There are a few episodes that don't touch on the war theme, the sweetest of which is "The Traveling Man," in which an old beau (William Schallert) of Rose's turns up, ready to marry but torn by career aspirations. --Tom Keogh
