I was thinking the other day that the Leafs could fire Pat Quinn but then again, it is not all his fault. The defence despartly needs to improve. Leafs can't be always relying on Belfour or Telvquist to win games for them. That is not going to get the team anywhere! The game on Saturday against the Sens, there were about 2 or 3 breakaways for Ottawa. What the h*ll is that!

But on Quinn's part, he needs to be telling these guys something instead of yelling at the refs all the time. Quinn has got more mouth than he does brains! He should be practising defensive coverage more. The Leafs need a change somewhere in the team before the deadline comes.

Don't fire Quinn, who else could come up with post game comments like this:

"But if you abandon the plan, then, like that fish you take out of the tank, he can flip and work and flop all around, he's not going back in the tank. He's just flopping around and that's kind of what we did."

Firing quinn wont solve the problem at all, i think that quinn is a great coach, but its just that he has very little to work with

the solution lies with getting rif of their useless players such as:

tie domi ($1.25M)

ed belfour (4.54M)

ken klee (1.90M)

lately people have been saying that the leafs should pursue brian leetch, but he WONT solve the leafs problems

the leafs need to get tough and fast...

Its not Quinn its the players, get rid of the players, and rebuild, if we dont rebuild now it is going to take another 50 years to win the cup

I Agree with you completley, Quinn is doing a terrible job this year and should be shown the door, but I also agree with the PaulK, they cannot fire Quin a coulpe weeks before the Olympics. But watch, if he screws Wayne over in Turin by not winning Gold he will be fired from Toronto and will never be heard from again.

I think it's time for either Sutter or Nolan or whatever his name is...the old buffalo coach

I don't exactly agree with all your points. I agree

with the fact that he plays dumb lines and love of

using veterans. Pat Quinn shouldn't be fired because his roster is depleted and I understand

what he is going through.

P.S: (You don't fire the head coach of Team Canada

weeks from the Olympics)
