Because then that must mean the ending will be the same. If the process is the same, the players are the same, the results are the same

Game 7 loss in the first round
Yeah I don’t think he gets to 50. Even ovie had a few 30 something goal seasons. I think with the captaincy and Berube system, it’ll be an off year for him

Easy now .. he's getting looks (shots and chances are really high) but is shooting 8%, half his career average.
He'll be fine.

But this year the sky really is falling.
It will be hilarious watching Winnipeg fans lose their minds when they lose to the Leafs on Monday. You know the Leafs are winning that game for the pure entertainment value of watching the rest of Canada seethe.
That's going to be the golden rule this year; no matter what, bad things are ALWAYS Marner's fault. /s

Doesn't it feel like the coach has to walk on eggshells already?

Berube said he’s happy to get the point and they had good looks in OT…..but we hear constantly from his pals in the hockey media that he’s soooo different then Keefe.
With the PP it seems like we can't even get set up properly half the time when they so often have difficultly just gaining the zone and getting set up to at least try and score. Also it seems like they're not capable of generating chances that can actually give a goalie a hard time.
Far too often even when they can get the shot on net its usually a relatively easy save for the goalie. They need to be more unpredictable and get the goalie off balance and moving so that they can't be ready to make an easy save. In fact I'd say that's they're problem in general which is why they're having a hard time scoring. The Matthews tying goal is the kind of play we need more of that catches goalies off guard and makes it harder for them to make a save.

Sorry that isn't pressure, it's 3 on 3 in OT he had all kinds of space and time. You don't pass the puck in that situation without knowing where it's going and who it's going to. You look before your pass, they teach you this stuff at the Atom level. You can make all the lame excuses you want, that was a terrible play.

I changed my name from "nipponjin" last summer.
He didn't need to skate away from anyone. Most likely if he goes behind the net, the Bruins player isn't going to chase him and even if he does, Matthews is facing up the ice and he can see where he's passing and can make a long pass to a teammate before getting off the ice himself. Pretty simple.
The problem with the PP for quite a while is 1) They have trouble entering the zone and 2) When they manage to enter the zone, the puck inevitably goes to Tavares and the play dies. He's still strong close to the net, but the Leafs keep having him take passes from the others to help set up and he loses the puck 99% of the time.

If he didn't lose the game, how much longer do we think Matthews' shift was going to be?
MY PP cure. The opposition has three if not four guys right at the blue line expecting the drop pass and our guys are met immediately at the blue line, tight quarters. There's all that empty space behind the defenders. For the next little while. JT out. Knies in. Dump the puck and tell Knies to retrieve the puck and get in front of the net. Game on.
Its everyone else fault, not Matthews with the no look pass. Yet another all talk no action coach.
That’s what you got from ‘everyone’s mistake’? He’s not going to grill AM for the loss, like others will. They’ll look at everything they can fix. AM doesn’t need to be singled out by his coach here. This was a mistake, he knows it.

I was happy with the point and we are literally tied with the Bruins now, despite losing to them.
Our goaltending is better than I've seen in forever.

The looks are certainly there! He's missing the net and has had a few bad breaks (Parayko skate for example).
I would not be shocked though if he ends up in the 40's.
They can't fire/trade us!! We persevere. For better and worse lol

1- a system doesn't take a month to instal, we will probably really start to see Berube impact like after christmas...
2-Matthews/Marner/Rielly did a mistake but they are the only reason with Stolarz why we've got a game tonight...Without them, wouldn't look better than last 2
3- Leafs need better pp ( maybe time to split the core on pp... and secondary scoring... Holmberg 1 assist, robertson 1 goal ( in a blowout lost when the gane was already over)... Not sure if A.Nylander, Steeves, Hirvonen, Grebenkin or Tveberg by exemple would be worst right now
