Go Leafs Go
Barube won a Cup in 2019. Well, Binnington is the guy who Won the Cup. Last place at Christmas, into the playoffs and a Cup win. Show me a Great Goalie and I’ll show you a Great Coach. Do the Leafs have a Binnington? Not even close. Do the Leafs have a Pietrangelo or a Boumeester? Not even close. Berube will need a lot of luck to reprise his St Louis Cup win.
Now the big question will be, do the players care as much about Berube coming in as we do?
As a lifelong Leafs fan, I just want a coach to hold everyone accountable, and play with a structure that gives you a chance to win when it really counts. Maple Leafs waited until their season was on the line (again), before putting a defensive clinic on for three days. Keefe was good but time for something different.
Although this is a good move for the Leafs, this is only the beginning of the necessary moves that need to take place.
what do you think the players are ready to do for Granddad Craig Berube it a rebuilt for maple leaf
I disagree. I don't think you can have this Leafs team win the same way it won in the regular season. That's the problem. They practice this perimeter, skill-based game so much that by the time they get to the playoffs, it took them FIVE games to finally get it through their thick skulls to adjust for the playoffs, which was too late. You need to do what Paul Maurice did and have the Leafs play the right way all day, every day. You need to break the bad habits, and there's no better time to do that than during the 82 games before the playoffs.
Berube is the coach of the t m leafs.
Marner is gone
The last coach to win multiple cups with different teams is Stan Bowman… all the way back in 2002.
"What do you think Craig Berube said to Keith Pelly to get the job?"Craig can be your granddad
Now hire some assistants that know how to run special teams
Mid coach
What a joke. Leaf’s literally wasted prime matthews and marner.
Hey Sam shaved lol
seeing is beleafing….
Blues fan here, everyone thinks it was just Binnington that lifted the Blues to the cup (he was a huge piece) but what was the spark was the Blues had a 18 game stretch in January/February where we played 14 road games and the 4 home games were 1 nighters. We went 14-3-1 (11 game win streak). Team bonded on the road and our cup run we had more road wins then home wins. Chief rolls 4 lines and holds everyone accountable. Isn't like Torts at all with the press but you'll know who he's talking about not pulling their weight.
U cant fix dum 🤪
Not a good fit, first reaction, guess he deserves a chance
Leafs talent covers up a lot of problems
Get them playing right they finish first
Remember Pat burns
In your face hockey
Don’t just play…. Compete!
OMG ! Start planning the parade ! LOL ! This franchise hasn't played in a Stanley Cup Finals series since 1967. Terrible franchise.
Get kyper some broadcasts next year.
The long weekend thing is NOT a coincidence. It’s all planned. Of course. Don’t be daft guys.
What is this??? Bait clicking man
this is awesome but now its back on Tre. He needs to get a solid grip on the contracts and the players. Its going to take a few years to get that Yzer/Sakic luster on the Club. But this is a great start.
Seriously doesn't really matter who's the Leafs coach is??? Nope none nada the results will be the same.
Blah blah blah. Same old song and dance. Nothing will change.
He will pick his coaches, he will have input as to who plays sits sent down and who is out!
As for the team he wants that will be up to Treliving to make those moves!
If Marner didnt like the heat before with the media Babcock and some of Keefes comments he is in for a verry rude awakening!
Who’s the douche in the middle? “Berube has never coached a guy who has scored 40 goals…” buddy, Tarasenko has had a 40 goal season and a 39 goal season.
“Berube is probably excited to finally coach real talent with real weapons” dude in the middle talks out of his ass.
We would have won back to back Cups in St Louis if not for Covid. We fired Berube not because he is a bad coach Everyone From the owner to General Manager & most of the players still Love him. Our Stanley Cup window just closed. He cannot take young players & develop a cup team. But he will let you know where the problems lie. You have enough talent in Toronto but it will take a few changes that Berube wants. Get ready to play heavy & Forecheck but most importantly you have to Backcheck. No skating around waiting for the Puck, You have to take it. Good luck Toronto. Berube will Never Ever be forgotten here in St Louis. Cant wait until you come to town. It will be one of longest Standing Ovations ever Heard.
The Leafs won't have a single 100 point player next year. It is about winning. You win if you score 1 more goal than the other team. Winning 8-1 is as ridiculous as losing 9-5. To be a good playoff team you need to stay in the game.
Babcock's dump and chase followed by Keefe's copy of Babcock's dump and chase. Elite talent but just get them the puck. Asking marner to fightt in the corners, itt's not their game.
Tavares+Reilly+Brodie +Gio all must go
Pathetic organization
A coach can help.
You don't have the horses
Quinville would have been a Much Better choice! But the liberals can't keep quiet and ruin it for everyone. This is a horrible choice.
Oh let the euphoria begin….
Guys best friend is going to be this years Jack Adams winner.
This hiring will solve all the Leaf problems and ensure the Stanley Cup for Leafs next season and many seasons to come.and Berube could be a playing coach as well.zzzzzzzzzzzzzz⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️🤡
Ask the core if the puck was more important than the Cup.
Leafs went from zero to hero. Can't wait now for the new season to start with a new roster of dmen and tending.
love this hire, miss him as the blues coach, i believe he's the guy to get the leafs into contention
land??????????😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cue the 'it's a whole new leafs' but WE KNOW IT'S BS!!!!!!
WE AREN'T STUPID.
NOT A PENNY ON THIS TEAM.
Sweet.
