  1. Coaching change is part of the answer, not the answer. When GMs and Presidents start getting fired as much as coaches, they'll take their jobs with the same seriousness as coaches do. Dressing up in fancy suits doing nothing and having the best job security must be nice.

  2. Remember when they had a "tough love" coach in Mike Babcock and the players ran him out of town…. Pepperidge farms remembers

  3. The shift from Berube having Jordan Binnington going on a Tim Thomas-esque bender to whatever the Leafs plan to do in goal for next season.

    I hope Berube is giving Binnington a cut if his salary because he singlehandedly got him this job. He's been (like the vast majority of NHL head coaches) perfectly average and unremarkable outside of the stretch when Binnington was on fire.

  4. Need to make a change to the roster format. Can't put all your eggs in 4 baskets. Doesn't work. 8 years proves it.

  5. Year after year, mlse and the media do just enough to convince you that it'll be different this year, and year after year they take in ever higher amounts of money.

    Don't listen to the media. They are selling your ass so that you spend more.

    Don't spend a penny on this team. No, you aren't a 'real fan' if you do. You are a sucker. We need to protest against this organisation so that they realise that only winning in the playoffs is acceptable to us.

    Want proof? look up their revenues.

    look up the value of this team. it went from 1.4 billion to 2.8.

    look at Shanahan still in his job. you or i would have been fired years avs years ago.

    Do make your voice heard.

  6. Berube is what the Buds need,too many players were not doing what is needed to win,he will not tolerate soft play.When Keefe had to walk back comments about certain players that said it all- the players were in control not the coach.

  7. Put up or shut up now. They got away with it as kids when it was Babcock. Not a chance in hell they get away with it with Berube at the helm.

    Unless Brendan is pulling strings in the background.

  8. Bruh if they bring back this damn core expect nothing . Babcock n keefe couldn’t do It why the heck you think Craig will …. Insanity at its finest if they bring this core back

  9. Out of all the coaches the Leafs have had over the past 20 years, Keefe was the only one to win a playoff round. Mike Babcock, Paul Maurice, Randy Carlyle, Ron Wilson… couldn't get past the first round as the coach of the Maple Leafs
