I've always been a proponent that Keefe wasn't the main problem, the main problem is spending more than 50% of your cap on four forwards, and worse, who all have similar play styles. Also, the whole team except like 2 players don't have that "dog" in them.

I am not surprised that Keefe is doing pretty good in NJ. Obviously we will see come playoffs.
I think Jersey will get eliminated fairly early. Much too soft as a team.


That looked very ugly.

For a sport that’s supposed to have such tough guys, some of these NHL players are so sensitive. Werenski’s comments after the game just makes the CBJ locker room look worse. It’s “bullshit” that Laine speaks his truth about what he feels happened in CBJ? Come on Werenski

There’s plenty of video, post-game interviews, and "Blueprint" episodes showing Keefe practically begging this core to play playoff hockey during the season.

And now we have plenty of video of Berube doing the same, to no avail.

Smart teams coach to personnel tampa didn’t win like Florida and they didn’t win like the penguins so either trade for the personnel or change the philosophy

This is further proof of why Tampa has rings and the Leafs don’t. A $9 million player, Hart, Art Ross, and Ted Lindsay winner, and two-time Stanley Cup champion, Kucherov, throwing a dirty knee on his archrival in a regular-season game.

Not a good hit (but maybe not intentional), but it shows the player’s competitiveness. None of our core players have that in them, not even in a playoff series.

East York, Ontario
The division got a little tighter with Boston and Tampa winning last night:
