In his eyes it’s just doing something different and adding a coach who’s won the Cup before, judging by all the moves he’s made he doesn’t really think of things in a critical way.
Could the Leafs miss the playoffs?

Well, then to be fair,at minimum you’d have to give this coach a playoff run opportunity before definitely saying.
Keeping in mind that the furthest they’ve reached with previous coaches is 5 of the 16 wins it takes to win the cup.
They've done it before. They could do it again. At their core, the Leafs know they're pretenders.
Only in Toronto do nhl lovers like this make a career out being miserable hahaha
I genuinely don’t give a half a shit about any analysis of the rest of the regular season re: the leafs.
It’s all about the playoffs. Has been since game 1. I think they’re gonna shit the bed…again
I also think that if the leafs went 16-0 on the way into the playoffs he’d be saying:
“Who cares? It’s all about the playoffs”

Berube's strategies are all wrong for this roster and he appears to be unable to adapt accordingly.
Wouldn't bet on it. I expect Marner to re-sign to a 4yr 13.25AAV contract this summer and Tavares as well. Probably along the lines to a 3yr 7AAV deal. Afterwards they'll just reshuffle the deck chairs.
Math says yes. But Logic says no.
16 games left with a 10 pts cushion on Montreal
Using an extrapolation of the last 10 games for both teams
TO 5-4-1= 11
Mon 7-1-2 =16
If both keep that pace? TO has 92pts and Montreal would have 87--so even if TO blows their last 2 games and Montreal wins their last 2--they come up 1 pt short
And that is even before we talk about the fact the leafs are not in a WC spot but 3rd in the Atlantic.
I highly doubt it; it would take a colossal tailspin while Ottawa and two other teams effectively go on .800 winning percentage runs.
That's beside the point. The flaw with these players is their inability to do well in the playoffs, not the regular season
The Leafs are attempting to mix oil and water and it's working out like you'd expect it to
Ehh could it be that they, for the first time since they were on their ELCs, have a coach that's attempting to teach them how to be prepared for playoff hockey. And it is indeed going like expected
The regular season has never been their issue at least with this current core of players.
Realistically we won’t be missing, the team isn’t going to win like 3 of their next 17 and Ottawa + rangers + another team aren’t going to jump them in the standings with how little left
Will we do anything of importance/noise? Let’s just stick to talking about us making playoffs for the 9th year in a row.

Yeah, they're often a bubble team...but they manage to stay on the right side of the bubble.
