Maple Leafs used to bring a DJ at practice under Sheldon Keefe.

[BallardEra]

This is old news.

Leafs signed Reaves to be their DJ.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

No story here till we learn what he was spinning

 

[A1LeafNation]

Surprise to me...but it's not a big deal is it?

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Yes when they move some of these leafs main boards threads to the leafs forum, I agree it will be better.

I say do it!

Leafs topic, move it to Leafs forum.

Makes sense right? I welcome it.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Dustin Penner is a DJ.

DJ Flapjack?

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

Matthews and Marner spending all their time sending a DJ song suggestions for practice would explain a lot actually

And then getting pouty because the DJ didn't have their K-pop song?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Thats been public knowledge since Keefe took over. He wanted to be the anti-Babcock.

And now Berube is the Cock-Blocker.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

He also talked about the 2021 playoffs when the Toronto - Montréal series was 3-1, that Alex Galchenyuk was dancing on the ice almost giving a show at practice because the music was good.

This is some hard hitting journalism right here. Also sounds like something the high school gossip would say.

DJ Flapjack?

Apparently "Pendemic."

 

[Sasha Orlov]

I dont have to, I know you'll be in every Leafs thread

So yeah you do spend a lot of time thinking about me, cool

 

[MoneyManny]

Musta been an awful lot of Justin Bieber playing at Leafs practices lmfao

 

[Reality Czech]

Music at practice I can see but having a live DJ is tacky as hell lol. Wish I could have seen the look on Berube's face getting on the ice to some Zoomer pop music.

 

[JPT]

Not everyone wants to listen to Cattle Decapitation and Agoraphobic Nosebleed. And the people who don't are morons.

Part of the office Green pledge is to listen to more Cattle Decapitation

 

[ManofSteel55]

Apparently "Pendemic."

Nope, not to me. DJ Flapjack.

 

[DitchMarner]

Not a huge deal, but it does say something about workplace culture, I guess.

Personally, my mentality is that you go to work to work. If you're productive and do a little bit of socializing or have some fun, so be it. But the focus should be getting the job done.


That said, they're going to miss out on some catchy Sabrina Carpenter shit now.

I think it depends on how distracting it was for the coaches to get their message across. If it's more like "background noise" when they're running drills, then not a big deal. Kind of like playing your favorite play list when you go to the gym to work out.

Missed opportunity to be "Big Pen 15".

 

[Goptor]

Dude is so old and out of touch that he doesn't allow music at the workplace.

 

[chaser17]

I don't think music for some portions of practice is very uncommon in pro sports.

 

[PaulD]

Berube didn't bother to check with Mitch and the God's of Toronto before scrapping Beiber hour ?

 

[Satans Hockey]

Nico and Jesper are going to love their new coach...

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Only in Toronto is music newsworthy. Remember the hoopla when Phaneuf came in and put on his own music?

 

[Fatass]

Zero chance Keefe wanted music at his practices. No coach would. Just shows how limited the control was he had on the group. Berube appears to have the hammer that Keene was never given. Leafs need a good start or the drama will be soap opera level.

 

[tmg]

Nico and Jesper are going to love their new coach...

This. As mild as this is as a news story, it seems even milder to come out during this year’s camps and the entire focus is ‘Leafs did this under old coach and Leafs don’t now under new coach’ - but no mention whatsoever if that coach who is now helming a new team brought that approach with him there?

As fluff of a story as it is, It feels like incomplete fluff to not have any follow up on whether this is still a Keefe thing in NJ. If we’re gonna get fluff; at least make it the full serving.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

I guess Keefe missed the absolutely no fun can be had anywhere near an NHL rink memo.

They're there to practice, not to party.

This mentality is why North American productivity has gone in the absolute tank.
