The people who always freak out over preseason year after year give me a serious laugh.
There seems to be a lot of overlap with the "only playoffs matter" crew too.

How was Willy at Center?
If they’re freaking out that they foresee us out of the first round every year, well then they’re almost always right, no?The people who always freak out over preseason year after year give me a serious laugh.
Take care of the little details and the big one’s will look after themselves has always been this teams problem, Berube has his work cut out for him, hope the players are open to his advice…….That’s a poor excuse. It was Ottawa’s first game and they looked faster and ready to play
Pacioretty scored 2 goals and got an assist. More then any of our "star" playersThe worst happened. Pacioretty got lucky twice...he didn't get hurt, there goes a place for a young player

When you look at the roster and consider everything, having unrealistic expectations is unhealthy.You're right! Part of being a happy Leaf fan is keeping expectations low. Don't expect much the first game of preseason, don't expect much at end of preseason, don't expect much during regular season and expect more of the same playoff success. Should be a sticky on how to keep a Leaf fan happy.

As a retired hockey coach, I can tell you that every single game should matter, including exhibition and/or pre-season games.Exhibition games don’t matter, but the parroting the term “meaningless game” every time they play like shit is at the heart of the entire culture problem with this franchise. You accept low standards, inconsistency, periods and nights off cause they’ll figure it out next time. Well, guess what, they don’t do too well in “meaningful games” either. It’ll be nice to see Berube give them a rough ride.
If we had of won the game convincingly were we cup bound? Or is it just doom and gloom if you lose a pre season game? Win and it doesn’t matter lol it was a bad effort…it doesn’t have to be anything more then that.If they’re freaking out that they foresee us out of the first round every year, well then they’re almost always right, no?
You're too polite.It was the dying few minutes, odds are they just had shortened the bench. Nobody ever claimed Nylander playing center would mean he plays no wing at all. It’s almost surely in no way a reflection of what Berube thought of Nylander’s job at C
Anyone trying to draw any conclusions from one preseason game are getting way ahead of themselves
Put the Bat Signal out for Barb Underhill…….The biggest hurdle with this team is not lack of effort, it’s a physical inability to skate. How will the coaching staff work around that?
Yes, it does matter who the coach is. We are going to see that this season.Doesn’t matter who the coach is.
