1. Bruce Boudreau Time 🕺🏻

2. They played well ! They actually outshoot Dallas !
   They PK was great.
   The 4th 3rd line players have shown a sense of urgency! Picked up their games !
   They played a better game the score doesn't do justice for how they played overall!!

3. why he still there?

4. The rebuild needs to happen yesterday. Willy and Auston still have trade value and could return several high end pieces each.

   Hell if the Leafs were serious about ending the mediocrity you just retain half on Auston’s contract for the next three years and get a king’s ransom in return to kickstart the rebuild with the highest return possible.

5. 🌲 living n players apologize to stanley cup coach .B .best coach ever than rest that come n gun in shame..management buy this man breakfast 🥞✌️🫂🙏🤜🤛👍

6. Berube should have no problem getting another coaching job somewhere else for next season, as no one in NHL managerial circles would blame him for this underachieving collection of players he was given to work with in Toronto.

7. How about that Matthews guy? He's a beauty. Well worth the money. Greatest captain the Leafs ever had.

8. Leafs need to trade Morgan Rielly, Calle Järnkrok, Nick Robertson & Brendan Carlo!

   Also Leafs need to send Easton Cowan to the Toronto Marlies to develop!

9. Berube isn't the issue

10. “We gotta stick with what we’re doing and be predictable out there like we have been lately.” ~ Craig Berube (2:23) ✔️

11. The team generated nothing. Saying you played well is such a lie.

12. Berube is a guy that needs to give his team a kick in the arse but it ain't working. Guys look defeated

13. Time to hold the players accountable. The coach always gets the blame

14. I’d rather watch chief coach than watch these players play

15. Must be cured or something. Maybe it's the fan base?

16. Mathews says he believes in the process! Lol, what a clown. Hope he leads team USA to the bronze.

17. We didn’t give up much it was 5-1 ,,, 4-0 to the caps , a beating by the oilers , a beating by the predators , unreal this is a joke

18. "We played well" … a 5 – 1 LOSS is playing well ?

19. The Toronto Maple Leafs have a serious work ethic problem amongst the players. They seem to only show up when they feel like it.

20. Who would want to take the Leafs coaching job? Must have rocks in their head

21. Nylander doesn't have an Even Strength Goal since November 9th…

22. The problem is Brad Treliving needs to go ASAP. I can see why Calgary the Phoenix Coyotes at the time would not Elevate him to General Manager for the Long Haul.

23. PETER DEBORER WILL BE NEXT COACH OF LEAFS!!!
    IT SAYS WONT BE LONG NOW!!! THEN BLOW IT UP !!! PLAYERS ARE NEXT
    MATTHEWS NOT A CAPTAIN.
    LET HIM PLAY AS HIMSELF OR SEND PACKING TO VEGAS??? SCRAP THE TEAM!! DISCUSTING

24. Leafs crashing out. We played well…lol😅😅😅😊

25. There not making the playoffs

26. The team is losing so we all know what’s coming…MLSE’s profits are dipping, fans aren’t as forgiving and have stopped buying Matthew jerseys…let’s see what pelly does, Tre gone?
    Berube gone? Certain players asked to pick 3 teams?

    I do like berube I just think some of these players are too soft for his system…Merry Christmas everyone

27. It’s getting ugly

28. If the Leafs moved to Hamilton they would leading the east

29. Toronto and the Winnipeg Jets huge disapointments this year.

30. It's too bad the NHL is not set up like the NFL, there you don't perform you get fired, no pay you are gone??

31. Looks like the Leafs may be getting a new coach for Christmas…

32. We played well , good puck play and we defended well. ? Faux positive bs

    We need to Come with that same attitude we had the last few games . His actual words

    He only just complained about there
    Attitude in last interviews

    They all need to go. He has lost the run of it

33. axe

34. I earnestly hope that Leafs fans will muster the courage to refrain from purchasing tickets, as this is the only means by which we can express our frustration with having a deficient general manager, affectionately dubbed "Dumb Tree," at the helm. The Maple Leafs are the most valuable franchise in the league; how dare they eliminate the role of a president and entrust a GM of mediocre caliber like Dumb Tree to manage the team?

    This should be a results-oriented business, with no room for excuses and the intention of the move by a GM. The facts is under Dumb Tree this team sucks. Sacrificing two first-round picks for a fourth-line defenseman who was injured prior to the trade and a fourth-line center is an unacceptable blunder, especially choice to go all in when the first-line center 34 is already had a hidden serious injury.

    During the off season , a precise Dissect of the team should be ,1. With 34 hidden injuries afflicting the team, and his performance heavily dependent on 16, who lacks a viable replacement will be a serious concern of the performance from the top line while. 2. 88 has consistently been unreliable and 91 is aging, coupled with Morgan's decline over the past two years, and both goalies being prone to injuries, with these disadvantages should signal a wise and seasoned GM to recognise the team's fragility. I am astounded during the off season he believes every factors from the team are all sets and his sole focus during off season should be upgrading on the bottom six; in my experience, when a GM prioritises enhancing the bottom lines, it typically indicates a team that is a clear favourite for the Cup. What a miss calculation by Dumb Tree. Truly as a normal fans you will make such a bias view however as a GM who gets a few millions dollars of salary is totally unacceptable.

    Dumb Tree is a complete joke and a disgrace. Although he was dismissed from Calgary, where the team continues occupies at the bottom tier of the Western Conference
    Should have an indication of his average ability. It is imperative to fire this Dumb Tree first and appoint a general manager with a more impressive track record. Allow this new GM to make decisions regarding both coaching and player acquisitions. If Dumb Tree continues to exert influence, we may soon see the arena filled with a third of empty seats.

35. Give a play 5 grand to win the game

36. TRADE MATTHEWS

37. The fact that some of the leaf fans are complaining about they still man on the team is crazy like Craig berule won a Stanley Cup before I’d rather have Joe quinville coach this team because Joe quinnville stanely cup and he knows how to coach a good team look at that while he’s doing an Anaheim and our star players need to get benched

38. #defundtheleafs stop paying to watch this team. Stop buying overpriced tickets, beer, merch, sports subscriptions. Stop watching. Been a leafs fan, through no fault of my own for 35 years. This team is a joke and MLSE is corrupt.

39. Same old excuses. Yawn!

40. Wake me up when this nightmare is over.

41. stick a fork in the Leafs….they're Done !

42. This core has been through 3 top tier coaches in less than 10 years. It's the core. They lack leadership and heart. Simple. Time to move Matthew's and acquire some picks

43. Typical Leaf Nation. Embraced the 80's, bring back the 80's.. garbage product on the ice…sell out the building and continue to purchase leaf gear.. brutal. glutens for punishment..

44. Its not the coach

45. You can tell he doesn’t give a damn about this franchise any more.

46. They scored 5 goals coach. Where's the Defensive structure of the team. They are not executing on offense. Set the Defense first and execute offense from that structure. They didn't have any energy out there from what I watched. Gotta motivate these boys. There lacking motivation. Peace ✌️ 😎.

47. Berube OUT NOW fFS!

48. Matthews is lazy. He is no captain. He inspires nobody. He cant drive a line. Has zero heart. Has zero will to win and doesn't hate to lose. Also is not a playoff performer. All that for 13 million a year. What a joke. Anyone that thinks management should be building a team around Matthews anymore or thinks his opinion should carry any weight regarding what players or coach is brought in needs their head examined.
