Did the nhl website just get the reddit hug of death?

Welcome, Chief

Okay

Change is good. Its better than spinning tires every post season. Lets see how it goes with a guy not brought in to smooth over relations with players because the previous guy was a narcissistic asshole.

Don’t drop your ube, we got Berube!

Still really hope to see Bruce in the coaching staff in some capacity. I feel his love for the team would be infectious.

Why do I get the feeling everyone is going to love playing for Chief except Marner.
OptimusReims34
Hopefully he can light a fire under the boys asses

Rod would’ve been better but I still see this as an upgrade from Keefe

Welcome to Toronto. May you have more success than the your predecessors.

That scribbling sound you hear is Marner frantically waiving his NMC

Upgrade for sure. And you dodged a bullet by not hiring Gallant.

I think this was the right choice. I hope so.

someone tell me how to feel please idk who this guy is
Last time I got super hyped for a big name coach signing … Anyway I’m glad about this. But not hyped. Hype going forward must be earned.
hymensmasher99
Good start. Let’s hope for more. Craig won a cup before. Hopefully he can do it with us

What!? LFG. Core Four – you’re in for a real F’n coaching.

Keefe’s message was stale and while he could get good results in the regular season in the playoffs the team had the same consistent issues that led to their many early exits. The scoring dried up, the special teams went down the toilet, and Keefe refused to adapt or was too slow to do so.
Berube bringing a new voice and systems will be huge for this team and I think this will be the biggest factor in turning this teams fortunes around. He’s a good motivator, preaches hard-nosed hockey, and demands accountability, something that has been lost with this team and core.

I wonder if his exit video will be as nice as keefes.

Cautiously optimistic as usual. Changing the core will have more of an effect IMO. Here’s Berube speaking about the Blues last February tell me if this rings any bells:
>Our best players don’t play with any passion, no emotion and no inspiration at all. They don’t play inspired hockey. You cannot play in this league without emotion, grit, being inspired. They’re getting paid lots of money and they’re not doing the job. End of story.

I hope he’s tough and mean.
The boys need it.

Excited to see a new perspective.

Is Guy Boucher gone too? He can’t run our PP anymore.
bnewfan
I’m happy enough but I’m really, really curious who he’ll bring in on as assistants. Hopefully he gets to build his own staff but we’ll see.
