    Crowd is so quiet. Good to hear that MSLE is considering changes with these stuffy and crusty generational season ticket holders.

    I think the whole idea behind letting Marner walk was to change the makeup of the team and hopefully add more of the elements you describe.
    Unfortunately, so far it looks like the only effect is to reduce the talent level significantly, with no real positive changes to how they play. The injuries don’t help, but the past decade or so they haven’t worked hard enough or been consistent enough even with everyone healthy. The frustrating part is that none of their problems are new.

    Actually I disagree, the leafs are bigger and slower with the hope of being far more direct and physical. Hasn’t happened.

    The idea is far more north south than before including a hard drive to the net.

    Well, it’s supposed to anyways.

    Agreed about the injuries tho, hard to get a newer style into place when you just can’t get the roster into place.

    Yup. They clearly are not buying in.

    Well, let’s hope the d men get back soon, line 3 doesn’t get touched, Nylander isn’t too hurt, and the rest of the team realizes that if they want to win under Berube they ALL need to play like line 3 did.

    Stop trying to look pretty and talented, do a hard forecheck, a hard backcheck, and shoot the puck on net lots. If they’re doing their jobs correctly there should always be someone there to bang home rebounds.

    It’s pretty basic, perform playoff hockey all season long, and as much as I hate to say it but if they’re unwilling to do it that just tells me they won’t be anything special in the post season. Do they have the talent? Yes. The willingness? Too early in the season to know for sure.

    Well, that’s gotta sting. #Sabres

    Never really paid much attention to the Leafs, but since the Marner trade I’m now interested to see how it plays out with Toronto, and with Vegas.

    Ugly game, but losing both Rielly and Tanev, their two best D men, in the same game while the coach was rebuilding the lines I wasn’t overly surprised to see that only one thing truly looked decent and that was line 3.

    At least those 3 buy into Berube’s game.

    Yup. They clearly are not buying in.
