Let me know your thoughts on the Leafs off season
I hate treliving he screwed calgary. What out toronto.
You asked why should we believe that the forwards in the playoffs are going to be any different than in the past? The difference now is that they have a tough coach who is going to demand accountability from those forwards.
I agree with your grade of B-. I was thinking either B- or C+.
Leafs remind me of my Senators when they were good 20 years ago…great in the regular season but soft in the postseason and that is why they suck. Cheers from Ottawa.
I'm interested to see how Berube does in Toronto. Never thought the Blues should have fired him.
Myers is good enough to make this team hopefully they trade liligren and robertson for someone
Great Video, as usual, Mike. I think that he has to, at the very least, give Craig Berube a shot with The Core Four. He can do something different at The Trade Deadline, if things don't pan out. The only problem, is, if they repeat their Great Show in The Regular Season, but, the same old thing thereafter. Let me know what you think
I respectfully disagree that they did not address the problem. I think a lot of people are not diagnosing the problem accurately.
The Leafs stuffler to score. This is true. But it was because of their defensive game. They spent too much time and effort trying to get puck-possession. The forward were back so deep, so often, they had a hard time generating offense.
Now, imagine this season they are much better defensively (remains to be seen, but let's assume), now the forward spend less time deep in their own zone and get more quick exit passes from the defense. This will generate much more offense, and you didn't need to "improve your forward" to do it.
Run it back 6.0 will NOT win a cup!
These forwards have not shown up or scored in playoffs and it is an even worse lineup at forward then last year minus Bert!
Pass Johnny the puck and get open…The other core 3 get the puck way too much
Rumors of Tavares to SEA?
The players dry up, and then they lose games 2-1, 3-2, and blame the goaltending. Broken record with them….BUT!!!!
Berube is a different animal boys, time will tell, the B- is solid, a Healthy Woll and a more mature Knies, adding a Cowan’s speed and Minton’s intelligence, there’s the difference, core 4,5, whatever, let the kids and Craig intertwine with these choke artists and things may change….
What shade of lipstick is this
I like what they did with Tanev and OEL but I expected Liljegren, Robertson, kampf and Jarnkrok to be moved and especially Liljegren instead they overpaid the guy. A lot of people forget Liljegren was out and Timmins was in out of training camp and pre season way over Liljegren and into the season until he was injured but Timmins came out of pre season a better player than we have ever seen from Liljegren.
To me, it seemed like the front office just said what the fans wanted to hear just to try and satisfy us to take some heat off another disappointing end to the season
