Deservedly so! Should this team actually trade for Meier? I think they should rebuild.
I mean they traded away their top guys lol
Berube's out to lunch. The Blues just traded away O'Reilly, Tarasenko and Mikkola. Their Management wants the team to lose games and get a better chance at drafting higher in this deep Bedard-led draft class. The players are just getting the results that their management wants them to.
They’re not really in the playoff race, they traded their captain, they traded tarasenko, & binnington focuses more on air punch’s then making saves. What does Barube want?
Thomas was on the ice for the deciding goal, and let up as Pettersson skated right past him. Berube was spot on.
Our top guys were playing good, Kyrou, Thomas and Parayko once they got their big contracts NTC 8 years, they fell off and slumped
Berube is right about his players. The Leafs have Engvall, Kerfoot, Jarnkrok, Holl and Morgan Rielly who all play with no passion. All 5 of these guys are very soft and play with no heart. As soon as Boston or Tamps starts body checking them, these 5 guys will be the first to quit on their team. If Dubas can get Jakob Chychrun from Arizona without giving up Knies then he should do it. The Leafs don't have a number 1 d-man and they really need one. Morgan Rielly is over rated and over paid. He is a 3 or 4 d man on most teams. The Leafs need to go all in here for a real defenceman. One who plays with heart and knows how to move people from the front of the net. If the Leafs lose a playoff series because of Justin Holl (aka, soft muffin man), that will result in the firing of both Keefe and Dubas. Both these people have known he is a lazy player who the fans don't trust on their hockey team.
Love the comments. Army has a lot of contracts that are questionable. Reminds me almost of what holland did in Detroit before he left. They’re still payin abdelkader.
close your eyes and it sounds like Edward Norton
Love this. The management traded away their top players and now they want to lose to get a better draft pick. Credit to Craig here to keep guys accountable. Doesn't like losing like management's do.
Berube has balls to do that as he could loose the locker room
Missed opportunity with the Toropchenko comments last night.
The Blues players have tuned out Craig Berube. It’s time for Doug Armstrong to fire him.
This 'generation gap' thing is ALWAYS BS. There's nothing new under the sun. Sure, anyone with a good job should appreciate it, but money isn't the only motivating factor. It could be added that Chief does pretty well himself, and lighting a fire under these guys is HIS job.
He's basically saying I can't coach this team, I don't know how to.
Robert Thomas's response was to the "YOU gotta ask them. I GUESS they dont care about the team. I dont know what it is." -Berube talking about multiple players in response to a reporters question about why the top guys have sucked. All of this is being misinterpreted and blown up by media trying to fan flames for stories and clicks. Everybody is fine, there needed to be a bit of a call out and the responses Thomas has given to pushy media have been fine. Of course he cares about the team, he just hasnt been good lately along with SEVERAL players.
