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

[IPS]

Matthews, Marner, Nylander - all absolutely terrible. Berube's influence isn't getting through to them.

 

[likecheese]

As soon as the 'Berube against his former team' narrative popped up, this outcome was guaranteed.

 

[Racer88]

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.

You won’t get an argument from me. They 100% need to change this core.

.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.

Panthers have been without Barkov and Tkachuk for most of the season and they beat the Rangers in New York tonight.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

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

We had bad starts like this with keefe too. October always sucked

But I was told Berube was different and believed it....Core looks gutless and worse as does the rest of the team

 

[fahad203]

It's only 2 games. Some of you grab a glass of water, take some ZMA. go to bed
It will be ok tomorrow

As usual, thanks for the chat lads. Tiger balm and ZMA kicking in

You said it.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Remember Robertson in the preseason...

That was nice, wasn't it?

Nah, it’s Kampf and Reaves fault…oh and Timmons

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Steve Dangle should be good tonight

 

[stickty111]

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

At least this was Matthews first bad game defensively so maybe he gets a bit of a pass, but Marner has been trash so far. No it's not typical early season Marner either. He looks out of sorts. Of course what does the coach do like the old guy, they remove the 3rd guy from the line

 

[Bellefour20]

Is Toronto a coaching graveyard?

He's the same as Ilya Mikheyev in that training camp of 2019-2020. Training Camp MVP...over a ppg in the scrimages....Donuts on the board

this man had the audacity to produce like this after asking for a trade

 

[fahad203]

Didn't mind his game at all. Got some good looks, got some shots in
He was one of the few bright spots tonight

Well they do play like girls...................

I don't think Matthews, Marner, and Willy really care about Berube. They couldn't care less. They will just do their own thing. Berube shouldn't have taken this job. There will be no accountability until that idiot Shanahan is gone. All he cares about is selling jerseys

I thought Robertson was good this game... probably our best forward (maybe someone else was better, just not remembering).

What's Denis Malgin up to lol?

 

[fahad203]

That's not how you spell Edmonton.

 

[Racer88]

Right, silly of me to forget that

 

[jgs]

Matthews is very weak on the defensive side of the game. He is one dimensional. MacDavid is a force on offense and works hard on his defense. Mathews puts no effort on defense. even on the bench when Berube was chewing him out he didn't even look at Berube like he had that I don't give S*** attitude.

 

[Beanzy]

Is Toronto a coaching graveyard?

With this particular group of flunkies? Yes.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

I don't think Matthews, Marner, and Willy really care about Berube. They couldn't care less. They will just do their own thing. Berube shouldn't have taken this job. There will be no accountability until that idiot Shanahan is gone. All he cares about is selling jerseys

and they came out and said they were excited to play a different style of hockey and open to changing the system and having accountablity.

Then people wonder why the core 4 is hated so much

 

[centipede2233]

Is Toronto a coaching graveyard?

It’s a coaching graveyard for a couple decades because the management that keeps comming in is more incompetent then the guys before them

 

[IPS]

Honestly I wasn't even minding the season up until tonight. If this core is just gonna drive another coach out of town, just blow the entire f***ing thing up, this is ridiculous already.
