One period away from failing another fraud check. Just once I'd wish there was some pride..
Keep waiting for that pride to show also, others seem are blaming the coaching but im sick of it. This sad sack of "leaders" we have is the issue. They play when its 3 on 3 but as soon as the going gets tough they shrivel up.

What? this is he most assinine thing ive ever heard. If you're even correct, which you're not. How is that Berube's fault? That sounds to me like they hired the wrong guy no?
I don't feel it's asinine. Tre brought Berube in to make us better defensively. Up until Mid December... that was achieved. Commitment to D and unreal goaltending.

Tre has doubled down on size on the backend to the detriment of offense. Berube continues to insist on a North South game for a team that does not dog pucks. Teams know if they keep their shape off the rush, we cannot grind anyone.. not a single team. So there is misalignment everywhere and once the defense stopped being as good and the goaltending came back down to earth... we are here.. it's not glorious
 
If you only watched the battle of Ontario these last few years you would be so shocked to see where both teams finished in the standings these last few years.
 
Are we watching the same game? How many times has the coach said “we need to play North, south” and your seeing Toronto dump the puck in and generate absolutely nothing… It’s been like this for almost 2 months..

They’re a team that’s made off of skill; that doesn’t make plays anymore, the best thing about them.

How is it the coach’s fault? He’s gotta make a system or at the very least change it.
Well its not "Berube's" fault then.. Its the person that hired him because thats not how he bloody well coaches. That was pretty clear prior to hiring him and watching him as a player. My point, its "coaching" maybe? but its not Berube's fault.

The Leafs aren't winning regardless, but what I want to see are wide scale changes at the top. This team has been badly mismanaged for years and it needs to stop.
That's why I'm glad they ditched all those long-term assets for 2 magic beans.
 
I think Marner's walking for sure. The team will want him back, but I think this group is done.

The core is cooked. Prime competitive window was 2019-2022, maybe 2023. And they blew it in spectacular fashion, not least of all because our cap was screwed with exorbitant contracts. The core was unable to elevate their play and come up clutch, there were poor trade decisions, unfortunate injuries, and our goaltending was never up to snuff; Andersen can be included with the other core guys for never stepping up.

A complete waste of talent and so much potential squandered. Now this team is playing the most uninspiring hockey they ever have and they don't have the mental fortitude to climb out of this. Just terrible, this could only have happened to the Leafs.

To dump and chase you need forwards that hit
 
In tonights game that's all it needs to be because they are down by 1.

So if you tell me 1 goal is on Stolly and they are down by 1 then that means Stolly has been the difference and not in a good way
they handed us a freebie

So really we'd be down by 2

You can't let dudes tee up with 10 seconds to look around form the top of the circle all the time and expect to not let in goals
 
100%. Bring in Boudreau and just see how long the offensive honeymoon lasts?

Edit: I’m not actually suggesting that… just an example. We’re sticking with Bérubé for at least another few seasons. If there’s one thing this organization doesn’t do, it’s realize they make mistakes.
Oh they realize it, they just don't care. Jerseys and tickets keep selling no matter what piss poor effort we get from this team.
