Confirmed with Link: Craig Berube named the 32nd Coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs
- Thread starter Cleetus
- Start date
Why do people just lie? What 90% effort?
Can anyone also give me a time Berube held players responsible?
I'm expecting everyone to get sat this season the way people are talking.
All I know is he called out some players and then played them 20 minutes a night the next night.

I see nothing here that confirms it... he scratches players and not the players he called out?
Want to point me to the part where he scratched players that were not giving effort and that is the reason?
Maybe I missed it...
100%... The fact he won a Hart and Lindsay while playing at 90% is amazing.
He's probably the best player in the league if he is at 100%, right?

Could make it a charity bet. Loser has to donate to winner's charity of choice.
Wasn't that St. Louis article written 6 months before Berube...won a Stanley Cup?Craig Berube's past run-ins with star players raise some concerns in Toronto

Where'd you get the 90%?
This is the absolute dumbest argument.
Sure, he is giving 90%, he wanted to let McDavid have the title of the best player in the world, if Matthews wanted to, he'd take it, but he feels too selfish doing that.

I doubt you find 1 player who gives 100% * 100% of the time.
It's a marathon not a sprint.
And perhaps you aren't aware the original question was a "set up".
It was a fishing trip ...

Score 69 goals only trying 90%. Matthews must be the GOAT hockey player if he gave 100%

it's a bet. Now I'm going to have to find a Optimist's Anomynous chapter near me for you to donate to once you've lost the bet.........

Not necessarily the way it works. That 10% effort that is missing might not be related to his offence, but physical play, making hits, winning puck battles, skating hard etc.

If you really believe Matthews lacks these things I question if you have ever watched him play

I think Matthews wins like 100% of puck battles and is near the top in hit and blocked shots among our forwards. He is a Selke Finalist...and he led the league in goals and the team in points. He has won a Hart Trophy and was in consideration this year. Three Richards.
You think his effort is lacking?

So fanboy sources. Doesn't say much if the "journalist" has no credentials. Not that it would if they did have them.Craig Berube's past run-ins with star players raise some concerns in Toronto

Let's just watch and see what happens.
Maybe we'll be begging to get Keefe back, but I really doubt that.

Be interesting to see if he changes anything this year wearing the C.
Goes into scrums sticking up for mates rather than the other way around.

Yeah, I somehow feel we might get something more from him with the C. I don't know that it is more effort, but leadership.
...scrums, sticking up for teammates as you said. Will he hold others accountable for effort or soft play? I hope so and I don't think JT did those things.

JT probably saw what happened to Keefe when he tried to hold players accountable, snd said “well I’m nit saying shit and then I won’t have to apologize the next day……..”

It will be interesting to see new GM (first true off-season for Tre), new coach(es), and new captain. I also like Marner and Tavares playing for their contracts this year.
