Leafs general manager Brian Burke has given his coaches several votes of confidence in the press. Despite their lack of success, Tim Hunter said the Leafs? coaching staff has not wavered from its message, changed the team?s overall strategy or deviated from what worked while with the Sharks. ?It took us five years to get to the point we got to in San Jose, with the success we had,? Hunter said. ?We developed a lot of young players and that takes time. You don?t become the second-place team in the NHL overnight. The same thing?s going to happen here ? it?s not going to happen overnight. ?You?re not going to use the same systems everywhere you go because the personnel?s different, but the philosophy?s the same: aggressive hockey, aggressive fore-checking, puck possession and in-your-face hockey.? Hunter pointed to some of the Leafs? successes this season, including Toronto leading the NHL in shots on goal.
