This has been a prolonged problem now. We're consistently getting outshot and not driving the play for the last month now. Big problem.

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.
Fucckkk at this game, they have to figure this out for playoffs jesusss. Waste of money
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.
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.
Or this is just what they are.
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.
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
What do you want them to do? All they can do is work as hard their ability allows. They sure seem to be doing that.
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
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
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.
