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, donāt 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 donāt Iāll just shrug and see what comes next.
The Leafs are going to win tonight!
Iāll never guarantee it, itās why Iām not a gambler, but Iāll always cheer for it!!
Go Leafs Go!!!
Seriously tho, Domiās game is essentially tobogganing right now. Makes it to the bottom of the hill, gets benched, climbs back up while heās 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 š
Looks like Domi has been cut out of the lineup again tonightā¦ hereās the lineup tonight according to SN:
Knies ā Matthews ā Nylander
Robertson ā Tavares ā Cowan
Joshua ā Roy ā McMann
Maccelli ā Laughton ā JƤrnkrokRielly ā Myers
McCabe ā Stecher
Benoit ā 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 todayās NHL you needs to be selfless. Meaning you need to play at all ends of the ice. You canāt 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 donāt 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 whatās 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 heād either improve Nylanderās overall game, or force him off the team. Turns out Tre either didnāt have the power to move him, or the stones to move him.
Guys, itās over. Not only was I right about everything, it happened quicker than even I could have expected.
Youāre right, losing Sundin to Vancouver when he signed on December 18th SUCKED SO BAD š (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 termā¦.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 availableā¦.maybe thats enticing to Tre?
Extending Stolarz was a mistake before he proved he was capable of ensuring a starterās role without wellā¦ hurting himself. I like him but I didnāt 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 Berubeās contract, so if the team isnāt listening to him itās 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 donāt 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. Iād fucking love to see Torts come in and smack these fuckers with their own purses. Iām just about done with Matthews.
Rip the C from his jersey and Iām willing to bet heāll accept getting moved. He flat out does not drive the team, good player with talent but heās a shitty leader.
As for the team I do kinda feel bad for Berube. Heās yet to have the goaltending plan which was having both Stolarz and Woll bouncing back and forth in the stating roll, theyāve 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 Iām thinking itās going to take a fresh face behind the bench. I could be wrong, I am a lot lol, but I wonāt be shocked if Iām not about this.
I guess weāll find out soon enough, but Tre had the balls to try to get Mitch to waive to bring in Rants, so maybe heāll make the hard-to-make moves now.
The next 6-8 months will define his career. Not stellar in Calgary, can he turn it around in Toronto?
It wonāt look pretty. Matthews, Nylander, and Rielly will choose where they want to go if they want to go anywhere and that will limit the return coupled with their salary amount which will also limit their return. The leafs will have to take salary back which means they wonāt get as many picks/prospects as they would like.
Tbh Iām guessing if anything happens it will be a new coach first, not a blow up.
Sounds like youāve lived had a good life, man. All the bullshit aside, Iād probably trade places with you for a few years in your 20ās haha.
Since Iāve been to Ireland, I just canāt shake the vibes of that place. Iād move there in a second, just for the music and pub culture.
My name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep chimney sweep!
Oh it was a blast of a lifeā¦ if you can handle living out of an Astro mini van with 4 other guys that is š
As for Ireland Iād love to go.. we have a daughter living in Scotland going to school there right nowā¦ so happy and jealous for/of her at the same time lol
Never been, but Iāve heard thatās why Alcatraz was built there.
Went to Costa Rica, pacific side, the water was warm! Went a couple hours north to Nicaragua and the water was frigid. I donāt know much about ocean currents, but I know I prefer swimming in lakes.
Rage! š
Oh Iāve done both the Atlantic and Pacific in a few spots. I remember touring in my band out east into the Maritimes routinely and hanging in Florida when I was younger and doing the west coast in the band too. Got family and old band mates everywhere nowadays. Just make a trip anywhere and have a place to hang. This upcoming year Iām aiming at Vancouver, two former sax players Iāve played/recorded/Apple Music with living there right now, one in a boat lol, I gotta go say hi, Iāll get a hotel room tho, Iām 48 now not in my 30s lol
You know Iām gonna. lol.
Come over to SJ. The waters warm!
(Itās actually not. SF bay is notoriously cold)
Oh I know, went down in 2007 to see rage reunite and hung out for a couple weeks prior.
And The Leafs shot some coal tonight!! šš lol
The Sharks top player plays the right way.
Heās 19, probably 185lbs with his gear on, and protects his teammates when it calls for it. Thatās how Crosby, McDavid, MacKinnon, Bedard etc all play. Too bad the horse the Leafs hitched their 58 year old cart of perpetual failure to is a total pansie. And their second best player is the biggest power-puff the NHL has ever seen.
Thatās why the Leafs are a joke. Zero emotion from their top players.
Me: congrats on San Jose
You: thanks that means fuck the leafs to me
š
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Chuch-run.
The leafs suck so much shit hahahaha.
So good.
Crazy how much they miss Marner.
I see that The Sharks have taken down The Penguins and The Flames since The Leafs, hereās hoping they can take down The Stars tonight š
another bad bounce against the Leafs.
down by 1
It happens, gotta use this bad bounce to find the energy to start shooting and bounce back
