Watching Carlyle stay is like watching a rated 18+ version of what it would have looked like if Torts had stayed in Vancouver.

Still believe Carlyle is onshort-leash. Extension is just money + money is just for show to MLSE. Wilson fired 3 months after his extension.

Would love to know how many fans who swooned with Shanahan was hired are now angry that #MapleLeafs are bringing back Carlyle. Have to laugh

Had San Jose parted ways with Todd McLellan I suspect things might have played out differently in Toronto...

YKNOW AT LEAST NOW CARLYLE CAN GET RID OF THESE GUYS WITH "SKILL" LIKE KADRAY AND GARDINER AND BRING IN SOME BANGERS FROM ONTARIO!

Let's all remember that contract extensions aren't necessarily guarantees. #Flyers extended Peter Laviolette, then fired him 3 games in.

This is gonna end with Randy Carlyle driving around the parking lot in a bodysuit dragging Cup banners and getting a five-year extension

Two more years AFTER next season for Carlyle? OMG, #Laffs. All the assistants get fired. Guess it was their fault. Bunch o' dopes.

A two-year contract extension for Randy Carlyle. Honestly, if you're going to bring him back might as well go all the way with it.

I think it'd be great if Shanahan started all Leafs announcements with: "As the video shows..."

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

I think NHL commentators are looking at this Carlyle thing all wrong: what if staying with the Leafs *is* his punishment?

Randy Carlyle is staying in Toronto? Of Corsi is.

The Leafs keep Carlyle & fire his assistant coaches. If you own a restaurant that serves awful food, you fire the chef, not the wait staff.

Keeping Carlyle? I don't get it, I really don't. You can't preach culture change and keep the author of that culture. It makes no sense.
