[Chandler] Berube criticizes Leafs’ leaders after loss to Oilers
18 comments
Leafs leaders:
* Craig Berube
* Brad Treliving
Sheldon Keefe was not the problem with this organization.
Easiest change to make is the coach. I don’t think he’s a bad coach, but he certainly isn’t a *great* one, and this shit ain’t working.
And he is very right to do so. There is one guy that makes a lot of money, that simply isn’t good enough
Ya know, it’s going to be interesting in a few years when old coaches/players and what not start talking about this team. There’s been something deeply flawed here for 10 years now. Gone through 4 coaches, 3 GMs and a butt load of players. Something stinks in this organization.
you can say that for the last five years
With Marner leaving, it’s really helped highlight all of the flaws in this team even more with the core group
Berube isn’t working, but it’s hard to deny that Matthews just doesn’t feel like a leader. It’s not a role that seems to match his personality.
But it’s the Leafs, so of course we needed to strip the C off of JT to ordain Matthews. Gotta give it to the face of the team for the optics, even if JT did nothing to deserve losing it.
Berube seems to blame everyone but himself.
They were non-existent. When the press asked Mo about the McDavid goal he didn’t even have a good explanation … after a huge loss like that put the captain in front of the media. We got Laughton who was pissed. Need a leadership shakeup IMO.
Having non verbal team captains has to be fucking exhausting
Auston, Tavares are a 24/7 emotionless gaze. It sure isnt this teams biggest problems but it sure must fucking suck to look for some leadership on the ice EVER and just have the same dopey look on their face. Austons back is messed up now but before that dude still had negative grit or emotion. How hard is it to do something dirty, throw a big hit or take a fight to get your team fired up ?!? Do SOMETHING
What leaders 😂 (other than Tavares)
Just blow this team up and rebuild again at this point. They let the wrong star go. Trade Mathews. Fire Bérubé. Blow it up man.
I honestly don’t think knies and Matthews are a good fit together on a line. They’re both excellent players but knies doesn’t drive a line, he kinda just does his own thing and creates opportunities for himself. Matthews and domi seem to have more obvious chemistry then knies does with either.
I agree, mainly because deboer is available. 3 conference finals in a row before throwing his goalie under the bus and losing the room would be the most successful leafs run of my lifetime lol.
Well hes clearly not calling out Tavares, because that would be insane
gotta treat Matthews with the charmin, Nylander sick/usual, OEL rough game defensively, Rielly even worse
Perhaps it’s time to start looking at the entire core. The rot is too deep.
