Whats up yall?
Man hockeybuzz went to total
Shize.Yup, it’s junk, I don’t go there anymore
Other than that not too much, my buzz? lol you?
Playing garbage teams at home is going to be a lot different than playing very good / great teams on the road.
Leafs were supposed to already have built up a lead given their weak schedule with mostly home games.
Injuries, tougher competition, road games…they’ve got Mt. Everest to climb, not just a ladder.
😂
It’s the NHL not the tallest mountain on the planet lol. But ok, I’ll call it step one on a very old questionable ladder 👍
WOW WILLIE STYLES!!!!!
Beat The Blues in OT!!!
Here’s hoping that works out to truthfully equal out to be taking step one of the ladder lol
LOL. Phaneuf would probably refuse to wear any of that crap.
At least we’d have a genuinely respected captain with some bite again. That’d be refreshing.
Yeah, you’re not wrong there, Berube would be pretty damn happy about it as well that’s for sure 👍
Why not eh?
Dion looks to be in great shape in the Booster Juice advertisement. Him too.
They’d sign him, but then he wouldn’t be able to start a game because OREO and Booster Juice would be fighting over who gets the spot on the side of his helmet lol
Leafs should claim Tomasino from the Penguins, he’s on waivers. With all the injuries, they got nothing to lose.
Or give Kessel a call.
Do both 🤷🏻♂️
I step outside to smoke a quick bowl and come back in, leafs are losing, I laugh, and McCabe scores! 👍👍👍
The bottom of the league is an amusing place
I dont think marner was staying for any amount…maybe $15m plus…but hes not worth that.
I dont think he or willie or matthews fit Berubes style…maybe matthews a bit.Ya this team needs a goalie or two to catch fire.
Or finish in the bottom 5…so we keep our pick.
Well… Knies seems to know this 😂
They have the wrong players for physical and to play D. They lost one of their best defensive forward and cant rely on others to make it up. Mainly because “others” choose not to do it. Its laziness.
1. The game isnt changing….Dubas tried to and failed miserably.
2. I dont think we have the right GM to change the players for the better. The trades he’s made so far havent been good.
3. I think the only thing we can do as leafs fans, is hope the MLB FA market kicks into gear in the next week or two, and hope the spring season starts real soon so we can forget about this team for a year or two.
4. Actually I think we have the Olympics….so that will be a nice break…and then spring season.Lets go Raptors? Meh basketball.
lol I’m not a big fan of basketball but yeah I’ll still say go raptors 👍
And I get what you’re saying about Marner but there is still two things about him that didn’t fit with what the Tre/Berube wanted to do:
A: great defensively yes but not Berube’s physical style of D so no, he wouldn’t fit (a coaching error imo, just saying)
B: he wouldn’t fit this have cost $15 million to stay in Ontario to get his $7.5 mill take home. Why? Because he isn’t the only one making this choice, his wife, his dad, and other members of his family have a say in this as well, not just the hockey player. So anyone believing he’s offer a discount is a dreamer (sorry had to say that since there are a few here, not you, who want to believe that only Mitch makes the call here)Personally I only think that unless there’s something as dramatic as a coaching change to change the approach and get this team to get better this season won’t likely turn out that well, if a goalie catches absolute fire it might turn out different but the team just looks… lost.
Ya gotta score to win though. Which they can do…the grinding physical defensive play…they cannot do.
The big guys they brought in, just arent effective at what they were brought in for. The guys they traded for, cant do what they were traded for. Tre really messed up.This was always going to be a transition year, they werent going to replace marner and build the team they want in one offseason. Which is why it was ridiculous to trade away our first for 2026. No one in the entire league was offering a 1st and top end prospect for Carlo at that time.
Look at what most top end teams do (the bruins did it last year), have a down year in the middle of going for it years, get some picks and higher end 1st rounder – replenish the cupboard….then get back on the playoff horse.
Its what the leafs should have done this year…..which they are doing….just with no thought or planning. Its just because they arent playing well.Honestly, I dont believe Tre is the right GM for the team (he’s burke 2.0) and we may not have to correct top end players for Berube style. Which means Berube may not get what we pay matthews for out of matthews..
Berube needs to alter and do a hybrid style.Not all teams need to score shit tons of goals. The Panthers were only 15th in the league last year for instance. Some teams are built around D and some around offence, the leafs went for physical play and D this year and it’s not working.
So either change
1: the game
2: the players who aren’t buying in
3: the coach
4: the gm who would likely change the coach as wellSitting still with no good picks in their hands would be a truly wasted year.
Holy fuck can the Marner argument stop?
The guy wanted a $7.5 mill take home after taxes and in an Ontario that would cost around a $15 mill salary for a Canadian player. Ta-fucking-da.
If the leafs want to succeed under Berube’s it’s simple, grinding physical play that isn’t based on scoring is needed, not fancy offensive pretty play. So unless the whole team buys into it this won’t work. The end.
Well, that’s CLEARLY not working, so it’s probably Berube who is going to have to pivot, lol.
Some guys are buying it and some aren’t. This is why the team seems so bloody lost. Ffs coach find a game they’ll all be willing to at least try and play.
Does Berube get through the whole season if the leafs keep playing like this? Maybe Tre should just trade the entire coaching staff with another team? lol
