Congratulations, Leaf Nation: Randy Carlyle is back for two more years!

With a leadership group of Proven Winners including Greater Sudbury's Randy Carlyle and a most of the population of Toronto's Backyard, Mimico, you are sure to just barely miss the playoffs next year. You're always welcome on the bandwagon.

Yer pals, Stanley Cup of Chowder.

Here is the reaction, from some of our (actual factual) favorite leaf fans. Condolences, friends.

Been writing humor for years; never got a bigger laugh than Carlyle will this fall when he tells players about importance of accountability.

Almost certain that if you gave a monkey two options and phrased everything as a "yes or no" question, TOR would be better run.

Randy Carlyle returns because they're the Toronto Maple Leafs. This is what they do. This is what they're good at. Don't bother asking why.

For more, do check out Pension Plan Puppets, who could probably use a hug (and a stiff drink) right about now.

I've read Haggerty columns that make more sense than extending Carlyle...
