If allowed to do so, Craig Berube will change this.

By publicly challenging captain Austin Matthews on the bench in the loss to the Blues, he is already making Austin Matthews a better two-way player.

As Montgomery did with Brad, a head coach must be able to challenge his best players, particularly and especially the captain.

Such actions create an all for one, one for all team mentality crucial to building a winning culture.

The country club will be closed, the class system abolished.

To his credit, Matthews took the scolding with humility and in stride. That is the mark of a leader, and potentially, a winner.

It remains to be seen if the Toronto Maple Leafs as an organization can stick to this policy.

If they do, which is an open question, they are on their way.

Book it.

Good trade for the Leafs


Many on here have not much of a clue, me included
I'm in that boat a bunch too. Still seems like the Bruins management really take their time where as other franchises make moves when they see problems. Maybe 10 more games and somebody may sit.

Mike Reilly of the Islanders is very, very fortunate

Looked like a good hit from Greenway, Reilly got caught with his head down playing the puck and got his clock cleaned, landing awkwardly on his shoulder, head hit the ice. Seemed like he didn't see him until the last moment, and couldn't brace himself for it. Tough to watch the result though. Lucky is right.

Question: Why hasn't Utah announced its team name? :dunno:

Utah Hockey Club is ridiculous.
I actually think Utah Hockey Club is kinda cool. Its definitely gonna be better than whatever stupid name they eventually come up with......and I'll lay money on that.
