But doesn’t ROR hate the Leafs more than Spatso, Drunk Canuck and Turd Furguson combined?
No, not the Leafs, just living in Toronto when you play for the Leafs.
Hard to hate a goal where O’Reilly got an assist.
Still, that sucked, especially at that time of the period 👎
they added 3 extra shot to Naashville for some reason.
Oh? Didn’t catch that, still a notable difference all at once tho. Woll being solid though 👍
Love to see it, but 44 won’t fight anymore. No heart.
I literally just looked it up and his last one was on get this…
December 20th, 2024 against Tage Thompson of the Buffalo Sabres
So if he’s due for one it’s tonight!!!! 😂👍
Domi needs some push from Berube, but he will be fine. We are in full circle now. I remember when media was screaming that
Leafs are not playing play off style of hockey and they need defense first minded coach to have success in post season.
Now I hear they advocating that Leafs players need to go back to the old gun and run system, which is more suited for their roster.Oh I get it about Domi, just one of my dumb little jokes is all.
As for the team I get it, don’t listen to the dramatic media, they simply say whatever gets them attention. My hope is nothing more than them waking up after getting shut out, and if they don’t I’ll just shrug and see what comes next.
The Leafs are going to win tonight!
I’ll never guarantee it, it’s why I’m not a gambler, but I’ll always cheer for it!!
Go Leafs Go!!!
Seriously tho, Domi’s game is essentially tobogganing right now. Makes it to the bottom of the hill, gets benched, climbs back up while he’s sitting out, gets put on line 1, slides down the lineup, and gets sat again being at the bottom of the hill. Will he be on line 1 again next game? lol 😂
Looks like Domi has been cut out of the lineup again tonight… here’s the lineup tonight according to SN:
Knies – Matthews – Nylander
Robertson – Tavares – Cowan
Joshua – Roy – McMann
Maccelli – Laughton – JärnkrokRielly – Myers
McCabe – Stecher
Benoit – Ekman-LarssonWoll starts
HildebyThe reason why the Leafs are so bad this year, is because the let the fans dictate how to run the team.
In order to win in today’s NHL you needs to be selfless. Meaning you need to play at all ends of the ice. You can’t have guys learning basic defensive positioning and have them being your leaders. Your leader needs to be fearless, they need to set the tone.
At the end of the day I don’t blame the fans, people are just shallow and stupid these days. Instagram influences opinions of players, not their play on the ice. So the fans are too stupid to know what’s good for the team. But for management to give into pressure and let their best player walk for nothing, while rewarding selfish players is completely unacceptable. I was excited when they hired Berube because I thought there was a chance he’d either improve Nylander’s overall game, or force him off the team. Turns out Tre either didn’t have the power to move him, or the stones to move him.
Guys, it’s over. Not only was I right about everything, it happened quicker than even I could have expected.
You’re right, losing Sundin to Vancouver when he signed on December 18th SUCKED SO BAD 😭 (fuck that date is turning out to be an anti-leafs one eh? lol)
Giving matthews the C was such a bad moved.
Also, Tre signed a couple of older players long term….one of which has history of injuries.
Tre also extended two goalies who have a history of injuries.
So some of the injuries the leafs have had arent that much of surprise imo.I think Berube has 3 years left, not a good look on Tre if he fires him before year two of his contract finishes.
BUT!
Pete DeBoer is available….maybe thats enticing to Tre?
Extending Stolarz was a mistake before he proved he was capable of ensuring a starter’s role without well… hurting himself. I like him but I didn’t like that.
The D is questionable but not the end of the world, the injuries that hit them back there arent really age related, just sad BS bad luck.
As for the coaches contract who cares? The leafs have more than enough $ to pay off Berube’s contract, so if the team isn’t listening to him it’s simply one of two choices. 1: keep him and start tearing the team down or 2: fire him and give it one last try under someone else.
And rightfully so. This is right out of the Oilers playbook. Team plays like shit, coach loses the room, fire coach, cup final. Granted, I don’t see the team as currently constructed doing much in the playoffs this year, (assuming they make it), but there is still a fuck ton of talent on this team, they just need someone to unlock it. I’d fucking love to see Torts come in and smack these fuckers with their own purses. I’m just about done with Matthews.
Rip the C from his jersey and I’m willing to bet he’ll accept getting moved. He flat out does not drive the team, good player with talent but he’s a shitty leader.
As for the team I do kinda feel bad for Berube. He’s yet to have the goaltending plan which was having both Stolarz and Woll bouncing back and forth in the stating roll, they’ve yet to even be in a game together. And then their D has been crumbled by injury as well, look at right now for instance, two of their top 4 D men, like them or not, are hurt.
It has unfortunately seems to have lead to the team not caring enough now, so Tre needs to find a way to amp up them giving a shit and I’m thinking it’s going to take a fresh face behind the bench. I could be wrong, I am a lot lol, but I won’t be shocked if I’m not about this.
