Nice words. Back them up this off-season.
Then it is an interesting decision to bring shanny back if there’s no complacency.
*Doubt*
This team has been complacent for years.
« But you’re still gonna buy the jerseys, suckers »
at this point, no amount of talk will suffice. all about actions now
Good thing to say since no one is going to buy those terrible Fanatics jerseys this year anyway!
Also Keith Pelley “I’ve only been here for 20 days and out of Toronto for 9 years, let’s talk about the Ryder cup”
How many more GMs and coaches is Shanahan going to get?
My concern is that Pelley is using this year to evaluate Shanahan. We’re now getting into this cycle of “I didn’t hire this guy and need a year to evaluate him” which is why Keefe wasn’t let go after last season. In 12 months are we looking at a new President who’ll need a year to evaluate Treliving? They should have just wiped the slate clean after last season.
« We’re not here to sell jerseys »
Seem to recall someone in the media recently saying Marner sells a lot of jerseys.. wonder if that’s a direct call out to that.
I’ve heard about Keith from someone who has not only known him for, but has worked with him for decades and he told me that he is a huge sports fan at heart and very competitive. Now that doesn’t mean to say that he is going to fire shanny, but it does mean that he cares about winning and isn’t just someone whose focus will be on the bottom line. The guy is a genuine toronto sports fan and wants to win. Really hoping this will help things along in the long run
You’re right you’re here to sell $23 tall boys and $30 slices of pizza
Then show us
Sure Keith, we believe you
It’s not exactly easy to win a cup. I just want to be a competitive, tough team that doesn’t find insane ways to lose and embarrass the fan base. Let’s start there.
Yes… Me interviewing for a job: « The money isn’t the most important thing to me »
It was always in the back of my mind that keeping the “core 4” was a marketing strategy to sell merch/tickets. I wonder if Pelley thought this a bit as well.
I gotta admit, that’s a great line.
Anyone know of any good “discount” jersey websites?
I guess nobody told Pelley about the Bieber collab reversible jerseys. Or maybe he meant moving forward.
Not here to sell jerseys? Why has there been 6 new jerseys since Shanahan took over?
Keeping the guy who put this whole « plan » together says otherwise.
Since shanahan was in attendance at the press conference does that not mean he wil continue as president?
Well, I’m here to buy jerseys, so can they still sell them to me?
As much as I hate them, they pull me right back in with quotes like these… go leafs go!
Clearly, since the jerseys are $250+
Because most of us have been priced out of jerseys since the early 2000’s?
Of course. Telling us what we want to hear. BS 101.
