quote:"We are excited about the direction the Leafs have taken, on and off the ice, under the leadership of John Ferguson," Richard Peddie, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, said in a news release Wednesday.
Sure they are playing great - even with out their best player, but isn't it a bit early to be giving him the nod. All I ever hear from Leafs fans is how big of an idiot he is. The article notes that his decisions to buy out Ed Belfour and Tie Domi, trade for Andrew Raycroft and sign free agents Mike Peca, Hal Gill and Pavel Kubina have paid off. But its only 20 games in. What do you Leafs fans think of this one?

And even after Sundin got ingurged, they have been getting more wins than loses. This doesn't happen often for the Leafs, so something must be going right. Makes sense to try & keep things the same.
