He had a relatively bad pre season. Think it was a message sending kinda thing by Berube. Seems to have worked.
Seems like an overreaction by Berube. Leafs could have used somebody who can put the puck in the net that night, evidently.

We don't really care about game 1 of the season tbh. Everything is about building accountability and identity for the playoffs

Agree that in retrospect it doesn’t look great to bench a guy who’s probably in the top 5 best goal scorers on the team on a night you get shutout. But yeah seemed like sending a message.

He got outworked and outplayed by Patches and Robertson. He can't be a hypocrite after a hard camp preaching effort and scratch those guys over him

I.E.
magine being a GM for 7 years and voluntarily benching Spence so the D you can roll out in game 3 of a young season is Anderson - Clarke / UFA Gavrikov - the worst top pairing D in the league last year Burroughs / the worst d in the nhl last year Englund and a Dman on his wrong side because you’re out of RHDs after the prospect pool you pissed away (yes I know he plays both sides)

at least this is happening in TO where everyone will see and mock the spectacle so they can't hide from it
