Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 2-1

[Captain Crunch]

Fans thought Berube was the second coming of Christ

Former player …former tough guy….Who has a growl and supposedly because of those traits he was going to add toughness and accountability to the players.

Instead …the product is boring too watch. The players brought in still haven’t added accountability or toughness to the locker room. The team still comes out flat .

Maybe it wasn’t all Keefers fault.

The team struggles to score more now than ever. The back 6 still sucks. The D is improved but Rielly is still lost and ruins any partner he has.

Any team can beat us because that’s the style we play. Playing not to lose will never win you important games and just makes skilled players hate your system more.

Been said before. Hard to put a square peg in a round hole.

I thought players added was going to add the passion. Guess Reaves music and antics before the game isn’t working to “pump” the players up. We been told that’s his greatest trait as his on ice performance is brutal.

So what’s next? Domi is still a black hole with the others in bottom six. We still can’t generate any offence from the back end as players like Benoit etc best outlet pass is off the boards.

The hope is that this style will succeed in the playoffs where the rules change. Harder to get open ice with interference isn’t called. Crosschecks become the norm on any puck battle etc.

The game then will even played more in the middle of the ice which fits Berube scheme.

Better hope our goalies are hot

Keefer teams at least we’re fun to watch during the regular season.

Just have to wait to the playoffs to see if this all works out.

That’s the only thing that I would argue against. Listen to what Tanev has to say, if given the chance to be interviewed, after a game where they didn’t play well.

What happened to the battle of Ontario? Such a boring game. Same story for the past 20+ years. Too bad.

Playoffs would fix that.
