Pre-Game Talk: Redemption against the Bruins

[mapleleaf979]

Hopefully Leafs lose 7-1, to force some change. I want to hear Dreger say Leafs asked Marner, Reilly and Tavares to waive NMC and are actively shopping all 3. Next thing to do is bench Matthews like he should have been in the last 2 games. Matthews needs to be benched when his diva i dont give a frigg attitude shows up.

This all seems very rational.

I’d bet they asked Marner, they just know JT would say no, I’d be surprised they would want to move on from Reilly

So a 5 game losing streak you say? Sounds good to me.

I think they win 2 of 3 and finish 6-5 for the month. It’d be nice if they could get some loser points soon.

I'm predicting two losses in Boston and Winnipeg. Then they will rebound after that.

I can see them putting on an absolute clinic again the Jets and losing in OT

What incentive do they have to change?

None as they have all the power as they have shown us for the last 8 years

Until Berube sends one or two of the core to the press box for a game or two nothing will change. They are in a heated battle for control of the team right now and Berube has to go nuclear to get control from the 5 man Cabal running things currently

I agree, its a big battle for control. They had Keefe under control, Marner and Matthews were the coaches, hopefully Berube stands his ground. Lets hope Tanenbaum agree's with Berube. I do not like Tanenbaum and think he is controlling alot more than people think.

Yup there is no question it’s happen. I suggested it during the game the other night and got scoffed at. Playing hockey intense, hard and physical is hard and some nights it hurts, why would they willingly change after playing soft hockey for 8 years

Ya, Matthews is a big issue. He has the worst compete level on the team and knows he can get away with it. Matthews should have been benched last night and vs Columbus. He wants 13.25 million and is so arrogant he refuses to be coached, shows up when he wants too.

You don't have to scratch them.... just stop putting them out together all the time.

was checking a few stats and lol

Exactly... when do top players get scratched? It's not realistic at all. You have to work with your best players day in and day out to get the results you want.

This is not a video game.. these are people and a Manager's job is to get the best out of them. Scratch has to be the absolute last resort.. Show me an example of where it got there and then things blossomed. Not many.
