Post-Game Talk: Ladies and Gents- The Core of the Maple Leafs does it again. Leafs lose

[stickty111]

A different guy wearing a suit wasn't going to change this. Berube is also doing the same stuff Keefe did and didn't do.

Man. What a let down against Berube's former team.

Bet they "show up" against Boston because they're a "good" team. Because this team is annoying like this.

 

[Beanzy]

Well the Matthews captaincy era is off to an absolute popcorn fart of a start.

And Marner sucks.

That can't be right... Berube is the answer.

This team needs to get going or they'll be looking up at the division wondering how to get back into it.

The fly-by's by the first line are concerning.

 

[GoonieFace]

Still waiting till the 20 game mark….and this is the worst thread title ever

 

[Blanka]

Good bounceback game boys.

Apparently it is the players.

Unbelievable

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Hm, so our goalie playing against his hometown team doesn't automatically equate to a 40+ save win? What black magic is this?

There needs to be more hate spread around this team... it is too concentrated on a single line, the whole team has sucked the last two games, and most of the players have underperformed individually this season.

 

[Leafs98]

I know believe its the players

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I wish coaches would stop treating Matthews and Marner as if they’re the Sedins. Their chemistry is not nearly as potent.

 

[1specter]

There is no pride with this group. Doesn't matter that they got blown out last game or that Berube was facing his old team, they love to embarrass themselves. I expect them to let their daddy have their way with them on Saturday as well

I don't even think Bruins are a good team any longer.

 

[Suntouchable13]

.500 team after 8 games. Not great for a supposed favourite to win the division. The good thing is that the whole division is very mid right now so nobody is running away with it early.

 

[wingman75]

A different guy wearing a suit wasn't going to change this. Berube is also doing the same stuff Keefe did and didn't do.

And they both did the same stuff Babcock did and didn't do...

...and the core is still the same, and so are the results*

* = It's too early to say this, but that was 2 gross gross efforts all around.

 

[Smif]

When was the last time we were .500 after 8? Can't remember the season Babs got fired.

 

[Racer88]

I know believe its the players

It’s absolutely the players. In my humble opinion it’s a power struggle right now between the new Muskoka 5 and Berube

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Apparently it is the players.


Unbelievable

Who else would it be? We can get Scotty Bowman in to coach this team and they would still put out efforts like this. Until the core is disintegrated, we aren't going anywhere. That's the reality of it.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

If Berube is gonna lay down the law, it has to be now. Nip this in the bud or it'll continue throughout his tenure.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Matthews not being benched told me a lot of what I needed to know about this team. He was unplayable and we still played him 20:20. He shouldn't have touched the ice after the 4th goal until the start of the 3rd. That PP pass was so bad I couldn't believe it

Marner was invisible, didn't do anything bad but NOTHING good happened from him

Nylander is in coasting mode, love to see it.

Tavares....actually worked hard dug for pucks, got it to the point and his line scored, was solid

Woll was not good, but even with stolarz that is a 2-1 loss akin to the rangers

team and coaching not good enough. No where near good enough and there are no excuses

 

[NinjaKick]

mad props to binnington

thats all i got

 

[kevsh]

Oh you just know they'll go into Boston and roll them.
That's how this group goes.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Literally let both Marner and Tavares walk in the off-season. That’s the only way this core is going to change. It’s been years of this crap, not just 8 games. I have extreme doubts that this will look different come playoff time.
