Hey guys, great show yet again! The experience that stands out the most for Treliving is the Gaudrea experience… He won't let that happen to us and that gives me confidence.
Great Hire glad to see this!!
Wait a moment…just look at the last 3 things of note that Treliving did…
1. Gaudreau walks for nothing
2. Kadri signing
3. Mismanaging Tkachuk situation
I am happy that you guys are optimistic because I'm not. I think he a horrible choice. I hope that he proves me wrong but I can't see it.
To be fair Leaf Trolls have to wait and see. The truth is the hardest thing to take for Leaf Fans. Looks like Leaf Executives are trying to tank while rebuilding the core over 3 years & keeping Matthews. So Leafs really remain fun & interesting – the stats show Leafs good regular season play might disappear. That is how Leafs get higher draft picks to replace the existing core & it eliminates Leafs troubles getting out of Round 1 when they don’t even make the playoffs like 50% of teams.
Is anyone really excited about this hire?
Treliving is the best option the others are all losers garth snow snowman hextall clark etc.
He would have been the right guy if shanny was let go but …. I was impressed watching the presser .shannys lips barely moved when brad spoke
GIve the Guy a chance, some people are real A holes
Depending on who's available, I think Keefe has to be replaced. It's true this Leaf's team has plenty of very good players, there is clearly something missing in the overall mix. Keefe has in my view, taken this team as far as he is able. So many games where this squad barley showed up and you could tell that Keefe was as frustrated as the rest of us in
Leaf Land except that, none of us are the coach, he is, and he just didn't seem to have what the team needed to fire them up.
I like that Dubas has been replaced. It's time to do the same with the coach.
Luck is when skill and opportunity meet.Winning the Stanley Cup amongst 30 other teams involves a lot of luck involving injuries,goalie save percentages, overtime success and one team peaking at the right time. Coaches and GMs can go from geniuses to bums with one hit post or an overtime loss or win.The pundits and analysts can dissect all the reasons why a coach or GM should be fired. The only perspective should be whether a team competed each and every night. This is on the coach,GM and players. The players however are in a better position to dictate the luck part of the equation than any coach or GM.
I called it being Treliving in the comments in the last episode 😎
You guys reference Murray's contract being a big issue. I think a bigger issue is Matthews contract, and him and Marner going flat in the playoffs. I think if you figure that out there's no stopping th
Trading an Elite Player life span 15-20 years for 2 Average Players life span 3-5 years I don't think so. Trade Nylander for Connor McDavid let's do it! everyone keeps slobbering about how the leafs never won a cup for 50 years. They are an Elite Team, made the playoffs since 2016, best regular season last year. Cups are hard to win. Leafs were not built for play-offs, Covid spoiled the run up in the Cap, they spent high on 4 players expecting the cap to go up. Get those middle ground players you need cap just like Tampa played that well. be patient keep your team together and keep working on harder players to play against, good checking guys with size and mean
I’m a lurking Pens fan and I was actually skeptical that Dubas would want to come to Pittsburgh as a GM in the immediate future given the reality of our current core’s eventual trajectory. But taking on a position with a little more stability and intended for a longer vision makes more sense now. From both teams perspectives it sounds like they’ll both get the changes they needed. Certainly us changing ownership we are hoping for a new chapter and less friction given that Hextall/Burke weren’t their hires. Sounds like both teams just need to get everyone on the same page. I enjoy your channel and good luck.
I swear this organisation is mentally challenged.
No gm in the nhl going give maury a contract when his expire he has been a big flop the last 3 yrs
They gonna suck regardless
Hiring Dubass was the mistake. Waisted 5 years learning on the job.
Anyone think this will make the leafs better? Fukin stoopid as hell.
1 playoff series win. Billy Bob here how long you going to keep doing the same thing and being losers. There is no heart on the team in your core four. Think the returns you could get for one player. Maybe a number one defenseman. You ate such homers it’s ridiculous.
Dubas hire was a huge mistake that’s the honest truth
I still can't understand how Leafs fans can make a deity out of Dubas, who has a complete meltdown at his locker cleanout presser and goes on to get a raise (level bump to Shanahan's equal) in Pittsburgh, maybe he is a god??? I think its just a case that we don't know (or underestimate) his deep friendships / relationships / social network in the sports-sphere. He'll now be in the same WhatsApp chat with Shanny and the other 32 President & GM's of the league LOL!
Matthews is gone 100%
Players must live up to their hype. Simple as that.
I am hoping for a Panthers to win cause I don't want to see Eichel win the cup before Matthews
Sorry, I forgot to say another great show guys
To answer your question about Hierarchy of Pittsburgh Sports:
1. Steelers – are by far number one
2. Pens – Clear number two but a lot closer to number one than people think
3. Pirates – losing so much really hurt the popularity of the franchise
Time will tell what Livingtree does to the face and performance of this Cursed team!!!!!!!

LOVE the MOURNING of LEAF FANS over Dubas …Lmfao …Those Fans go with Dubas and cheer for the Penguins just like Rosey said on National TV
LEAFS "NEED" 4-6 Players with TONNES of GREET no more PANSY'S and are scared to go in the corners and take a hit or give a hit there are to many of them on the LEAFS roster
That's BETTMANS Rules when that LITTLE WEASEL is gone soon it will be the BEST thing that ever happened in the NHL…LITTLE WEASEL "HATES" Canadian teams
lmfao, love how the headline for this video leads us to believe one thing when it's totally the opposite when discussed
VGK "WIN" the Cup
I think his fresh set of eyes on the team is needed…. hopefully he buys out Murray ASAP and figures out our Goalie situation. Keep Woll for sure….maybe upgrade to A Hellebyuck!? 😮…swing a big deal with the Jets with Sammy and a top guy going to the Jets. They're on a downswing anyway.
Tavares had 36 goals this year and 80 points.., 60% in the faceoff…..I'd say he's still elite. The Tavares downplay is getting tired boys. The man who scored THE goal to finally get us past those fucking Bolts.
He better sign SCHENN somehow someway….he's a pure Leaf again…. can't picture him anywhere else again. Two year deal at 1million if needed. Whatever it takes
You guys are softer than Mitch.
Tavares is an anchor of a deal. If Brad can convince him to piss off than maybe we have a chance
Johnny T comes off the books in 2 yrs
The BIGGEST mistake is NOT firing Keefe AND WE ALL KNOW IT!!!
