Absolutely correct

Don giving it to Burke and rightfully so. ****ing disgusting decision to leave Kadri down there to rot

[SexyJoffreyLupul]

don cherry on the kadri bandwagon lol

[Wendelstache]

i'm not the biggest kadri fan, but don is absolutely correct.

we got too many useless guys up here with no pride, don't hit, dont' score, don't fight..soft as butter.

kadri brings a lot more to the table then... everyone in the bottom 6 + McA.

[LeafsMonster]

Lived the Kadri rant. I totally agree with it ( the montage was very enjoyable). No doubt a reporter will write about this.

[p.l.f.]

how do you work in young players if the 3rd line is for veteran checkers ?

I tune out the channel when coaches corner comes on, but I kinda wish I had caught all that now. Oh well, there's always Ytube.

I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to have Kadri on a winning, playoff-bound AHL team. But the fact that Timmy and Matty are earning triple or quadruple his salary to do basically nothing for the team has really grinded my gears all year.

If Kadri doesn't make the team next year, management is insane.

No doubt about it, so much for being a 'meritocracy.'

Have two veteran checkers and young player on the third line? Veteran shows the player the rope, the young guy learns how to play a defensive game, gets comfortable in the NHL, learn to produce in the NHL, and when he's ready, he'll become a top six forward?

Clearly we see different things.

Not with Wilson at the helm.

With Carlyle? Hopefully.

Really can't call it a bandwagon when you've been with the kid all year

[Doshy]

Did Don Cherry just say he loves an American?

If he doesn't make it next year I give up. Plus if that is the case I hope they have the decency to trade him to a competent NHL organization

[Thrillingbroom]

Lucic loves beating up Komi... I doubt he loves him.

If you don't see bush league goaltending I don't know what to tell you. No other goalie in the league plays a shot like that. NOT ONE.

[thebluemachine*]

Predicable Don, can't be Kadri looks so good because they took their time developing him properly. Impossible.

Makes total sense but the Leafs knew the window was closing on their Cup chances after this season

Looks like Burke is treating him like Bobby Ryan.

[Prophet Kadri]

Whenever Don has talked about Kadri he's been right. Its too bad the dead weight is taking up unnecessary space so the youngs guys can get ice-time with the leafs.

Didn't we send him down while we had a playoff spot? He was on a winning team when we sent him down and NHL playoff experience > AHL playoff experience.

I'm not saying we wouldn't be in the same situation even if he was on the roster but you never know...
