GDT: St Louis @ Toronto - 7pm - TSN

[MoreMogilny]

Game. 8.

In 50 games you won't even remember this game or care about it if they get more comfortable and keep improving

Lots of ifs

And always excuses

You were just saying how different this team was after even fewer games. But I can’t say the opposite when we have even more games played? Make that make sense for me

 

[weems]

I'm not sure exactly.

But this looks awkward.

And it looked pretty before and when the playoffs hit, we stunk.

Maybe we should all just accept this core either isn't as good as we think, doesn't have the necessary dawg in them or the pumping all the money into four forwards is a questionable design.

Maybe Berube turns out to be a average to below average coach here but I don't know how anyone can be extremely confident that this is a championship core.

 

[NastyKnies]

If you want to win hockey games put stolarz in the net. Moral of the story.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

4th line doing better than our top lines. Christ.

 

[Racer88]

Last year it was Keefe's fault... this year it's Berube's, sorry, those are the rules.

If you want to be silly then sure it’s his fault but the evidence is becoming even more clear every game.

 

[MSZ]

Brad forgot about the core. He changed everything else. But the core Brad! The core!

The sample size is a lot higher of them playing the way we wanted than playing poorly

 

[mikeyz]

Are we turning on Berube already?

The Core 4 ballwasher portion of the fanbase might be..

But everyone else who gets what the common denominator problem has been over the last 8 years certainly isn't.

 

[Smif]

100 agreed.

You must have caught the first intermission where the panel said goal #1 was Marners fault.

Marner this game -2
Nylander this game - 1

I was being sarcastic.

Nylander directly caused a goal Marner hasn't done that, his line has done that a couple times tonight tho. Your view of tonights game and Marner vs Nylander's performance completely shows how biased you are though. You love it when Marner fails. You're an anti-Marner fan. You're not a Leaf fan.

 

[Apex Predator]

So far in this thread we've turned on our starting goalie coming into the year, the coaching staff, our core, Tanev, and probably more. The cause? 2 losses in a row in October lol

We’re doing better in October than we normally do.

 

[ULF_55]

Toxic.

Addiction.

 

[egd27]

I’ve never understood the hype over woll.
To me he looks like an average goalie.
What has he ever done to disprove that?

His claim to fame is being better than Samsonov

 

[Stephen]

He's been that way for 2 games... just like Tanev... is Matthews now considered a bad defensive player?

Matthews is an overrated defensive player who gives us inconsistent effort level, details and mental engagement night to night. Tonight is straight F’s across the board and we don’t need to drag in Tanev to hide this.

 

[Cleetus]

I think I could turn him on

 

[Confucius]

4th line doing better than our top lines. Christ.

Well their legs are fresher

 

[fahad203]

Has Matthews played this period?

 

[baton elevated]

This team does not appear to have any game plan tonight and if you told me they have never met until 7 pm I might believe you. It’s not so much Berube’s plan is not working that they’re just doing what they want in an uncoachable way. And there’s no leadership because leadership has been the worst part of the team.

Agreed

 

[notbias]

Agree to disagree because everyone in the NHL disagrees with you.

lol what

We are about to be .500

You realize the hypocrisy in your posts is kinda wild, right?

 

[danny90]

Last two games remind me of the end of the Babcock era,

 

[Racer88]

100% he has run the team since he whined about not playing with Matthews and Babcock being mean.

There is no doubt the core is running this team. I’m sure many of us were hoping that a tougher coach could wrestle control back but it’s not looking like it.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Maybe we should all just accept this core either isn't as good as we think, doesn't have the necessary dawg in them or the pumping all the money into four forwards is a questionable design.

Hey, I was perfectly okay playing hard ass to get JT and Marner to waive in the summer.

 

[tmlms13]

Are we turning on Berube already?

First season as a Leaf fan? Welcome

 

[horner]

Berube is now learning about our core

 

[3blizzard4]

Where is our new coach bump?
