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.
I was gonna say the jays being in the World Series must effect the leafs but I double checked and yeah, 93-94 is when they started 10-0 so nope, the jays being successful isn’t the problem lol
it seems like this site is undergoing some kind a maintenance as there is no more edit link for your post.
Seems to flip back and forth for me
Meh, not like anything I say makes sense anyways 😀
Actually going to a Leaf never even crosses my mind. It’s absolutely not worth it what it costs all in. I could buy a pretty nice Fender Stratocaster for what they want for a couple tickets to a Tuesday night game vs. San Jose in early December. Screw that.
I’m a bassist so it’s a P bass I’d get (my favs, even had a 76’ jazz once and I still went back to the P bass) but I totally agree 👍

Iv watched the HR at least 50 times, and all iterations if people putting music to it. ill prob watch another 50 before gm1.I was also watching the game alone, wife was away curling. My dogs didnt know what was going on. why was a screaming. good times
Oh I’ve watched it a few times too, loving it, can’t wait til tomorrow. Even my gf is a little disappointed nothing is starting til then, her weekend is one of the Friday and Monday off weekends (Saturday and Sunday next weekend, yay retirement homes lol) so she’s semi disappointed? lol she’s ready to just go to bed with her ear plugs in tomorrow night already lol
Leafs are about to go on a 10 game winning streak. Brace yourselves, you miserable sons of bitches.
Please don’t include me in this lol, I know they’re struggling to figure out a more physical game approach right now but that’s about it. All I was talking about was Matthews’ final year 2 years from now to try and avoid listening to the whiners about what’s happening now lol
Marner made Matthews better, it’s an obvious fact. Marner got Matthews better passes, better shots, better scoring chances and was a lot more useful on the PP. Marner missing is a huge part and it’s why Berube can’t find anybody to play with Matthews. Matthews was defensive dog shit vs. the Devils and that’s the type of game Marner helped stabilize him.
For the 100th time, if the Leafs blow up the team and trade everybody, the cap will be at 100 million by 2028. And their roster will be filled with ELCs. They could afford to overpay to keep some guys under 30 and it would be just fine.
Really? Then why couldn’t Matthews score worth a shit last year either? This is a long term injury and I’m starting to think he’s no longer the same player he once was.
As for JT, you’ll never convince me you wishful thinker. This guy had his ELC, then nothing more than a 6 year contract to make him a UFA, at which point he bolted for Toronto, signed a 7 year deal, then gave a big discount to stay for 4 more years. Keep dreaming UG, the partial NMC for the last 2 years arent for him, they’re for the leafs, in case they need his cap space for a true cup run, nothing more.
