Toronto Maple Leafs goalie coach Francois Allaire calls it quits -NHL Update
Toronto Maple Leafs have lost who they called “the best goalie coach on the planet” at one moment, as Francois Allaire called it quits and parted ways with the National Hockey League (NHL) club.
When the media tried to reach Toronto Maple Leafs general manager, Brian Burke, for comments, the GM denied and did not say a word in that regard.
Allaire has also surprisingly not spoken to reports in any regard as to why he decided to part ways all of a sudden without anyone thinking that he would do so, but some experts term the Toronto Maple Leafs stance on the lockout situation to be a factor
in his quitting.
There is no doubt in the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot of potential when it comes to goaltending with net minders like James Reimer, but there was also no denying that the Canadian NHL club was also struggling the most in that department,
which may also be a reason for his resignation.
“I think there was some confusion last year and some misunderstandings, and I don’t know if everyone clicked,” Reimer said, according to the TorontoSun.com
“There was some trouble in some areas. I don’t know if I want to comment on it too much, but I know there were times when he was frustrated he did not have more time to work on stuff."
“I hold nothing against Frankie and I know the decision he made and I completely understand it. From a personal standpoint, I’m disappointed I can’t work with the best goalie coach in the game.”
Allaire had been part of the Toronto Maple Leafs club for the past three seasons and was widely known as a hard worker in his field of specialisation. Many might not know, but it was Allaire that was working hard on improving every aspect of James Reimer
and Jonas Gustavsson’s playing.
The Toronto goalies have also went as far to not point any fingers towards Francois Allaire when questioned about their poor performance in front of the net, but termed his work as some of the best in the league for sure.
