The Blue Jays have the most likeable team and the Leafs are the exact opposite
it's go time!!!! fumble marner for roy. good start. fuckn asinine. like what are we fuckn takling about here…… tanev warrior injured. they are listless up front. apart from the real captain tavares. matthews isn't a driver. bye
the roster is a joke. it's not the coach. the coach alone pulled the absolute best out of what was there. SO CLOSE…. lost 102 points. how they replace that ???? oh right they didnt
No more no move clauses, no more 7 – 8 year contracts, get rid of players with the wrong attitudes, stars or not.
TO Ownership has to purge any and everything connected in any ways to Dubas who was a poison that embedded compatriots within the Org who are loyal to him and would rather sabotage the Leafs than have Dubas and the advanced stats cabal look like the rat hasses they are.COMPLETE purge….then bring in Moma2 the worlds best Tactical Systems Analyst to Custom Build a System to optimize the existing Player Assets without subtracting anything right away. Herculean job some might say a Sisyphean task at best.Sounds like a Challenge. Moma2 tipped the Oilers off on how to spin their bottle to get their Season back…that was my Resume…..no need for formalities…just find me on the YT videos its not that hard to do if you are determined.
Pellet just as clueless as Treliving , who actually screwed this team up even more than the job he did on Calgary.
When Kypreos says "So its either win or you're garbage?" pretty much sums up Leafs fans. Also, this Sam guy is bleh.
Why not let Willy Bystander, Morgan Unreliable and Captain Creampuff hire the new coach..may as well since they have a No Movement Clauses.
If you bring in a new coach and they start flying again they will always turn into a pumpkin when the going gets tough. It's over because this core group will never have it when it's on the line anyways. Get the assets when you can and change the culture with dogs with bite
Kyper, "No, you're going to bring the cookies!" McKee, "Yeah, WE'LL try" –> this is the problem with the leafs.
So it was NOT Maccielli' s fault that they have lost so much. But Berube made him as scapegoat and made him sit in stands.
Dump Matthews,Nylander and Reilly for young talent and lose the expectations Leafs Nation has for these losers…
Start the rebuild NOW before they are totally worthless..if they refuse to be traded just put them in the press box and bring up some Marlies and let the fans have something that looks like hockey to watch again.
How about Bruce Boudreau for coach…i would still like Berube to stay but if theres going to be a firing of Berube lets Dont Bring Me Down Bruce.
Merry Christmas from London, UK (the original one 😁) boys. Looking forward to more great shows.
The Dubas ripple effect after shock mentally ill contagion tremors are the problem they cannot be fixed
It will take two or three seasons to let them fix them
Tree living Bérubé FIRED
Wicjenheuser GM COACH
THE players will embarrass themselves to play their potential or self emplode
Keep calm and carry on
The Leafs are the rockettes with hockey sticks.
Kyper was here more constructive than ever seen. His opinions of Matthevs trade were interesting . And he can be very right too.
If there is a trade btw the Leafs and Kings for Matthews. Kings don't have anyone. Byfield ? You know what would happen. As soon as he's puts on the leafs jersey he will turn soft. Organization is a scam I believe . I bet a lot of games are rigged and gambling is happening man. Remember a season ago . Sat night vs Habs at home when they came out flying in first period.. Up 3-0. 2nd and 3rd period they threw in the towel. The game stands out. There are other ones too. Rewatch that game. Very obvious.
Feel like kypper is better in short segments. Not the best at quick banter type of TV conversation
The bottom line is this 'YOU CAN'T REPLACE A 100 PT PLAYER WITH NOTHING' PERIOD FACT ….STOP TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT
trade everyone for milk and cookies
It's not coming this year. We lost the back to back against Detroit in the preseason. Montreal rocked us like a month ago. It's been obvious. Even if they crawl back in, it'll be another dismal performance. Blues cup years don't happen for the Leafs. Tear down. Trade the stars for picks…but Treliving is not the GM to do that. Hire Boudreaux as interim coach while we're at it
The "No Cookies" situation, is part of a systemic, underlying problem between Sammy and this program, but specifically – and more importantly – his utter distain for Mr. Kypreos. If i am being honest, its quite creepy. I think a restraining order might be a good start…….other than that, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Merry Christmas boys. Berubae has lost the room its not that hard. The message has been lost. The defensive structure just isn't there atleast something that can be fixed. Back to basics. Peace ✌️ 😎. I haven't been watching so i really can't say much.
Oel and roy begging for trades out 100% the teams culture is pathetic and it starts with 34, 44, 91, 88.
What's a "Leafs"? I guess Toronto ppl don't know how to spell "leaves"
of course nobody cares…this is what you're supposed to look like in pre szn, not half szn.
Blue Jackets won Monday night!
I would be happy if a coaching change meant the Leafs got their game back. Playoffs is not the issue right now. Just play really interesting hockey again.
I really hate this generation of Laffs.
I would actually listen to this if you could find a job off mic, or at the very least off-camera for Sam McKee
How many coaches does it take for the Leafs to win a championship? 26 and counting. It ain't the coach.
It starts and ends with ownership…the hires ownership make and vision or lack there of that ownership has. The players on this team (and frankly for last 10years) lack character because the ownership has always lacked character. Mathews should never have been given the C…he does not possess the Character to wear it. In fact the "C" on a players jersey quite simply stands for Character. Marner had more character than Matthews. Last season the leafs won and were just fine without #34 for long stretches. That should have told ownership who to keep and who cut bait with. Nylander honestly doesn't care about winning or losing…unless he's wearing a jersey with Three Crowns on it. The rest are average players at best. This team has driven out, or passed up on more "Character players" than any team in League history. Ownership of this team are simply not good judges of character and have not been for decades…because are have alwys been of weak character themselves.
not in the mood for cookie stories!
When the coach expects effort and hustle for 60 mins, and actually intends to keep players accountable, I can understand why the Leafs players don't like it. They've been coddled for the last decade never having to be accountable to anything. Haven't had this feeling before Willie? Having to be accountable for your lack of effort? Matthews inability to take accountability for himself is the opposite of what a Captain should be acting like. These guys don't know what it takes to be a professional athlete a decade later, doesn't matter how many GMs/Coaches you have, that onus is on the players now, they've been spoiled.
Sammy, like a dog about to wet himself.
Do Not Give No Trade Clauses EVER!
Savard firing is nothing more than a shot across the bow. Sure the PP is terrible but does anyone think there’s some mystical strategy out there that is going to unlock the magic ?
“Let’s hire a meathead goon to coach a bunch of skilled divas with a history of getting their feelings hurt and quitting. What could possibly go wrong?”
Everything you need to know about the Leafs. 3 days before Christmas, they fire a coach.
HOW DOES A GUY WITH SUCH AN ANNOYING VOICE AND DEMEANOUR GET A JOB LIKE THIS?
LOL > With ALL your current / former Leaf contacts, both player and management, > WHY don't you guys ever "report" what you REALLY know is going on behind the scenes??!! The answer is obvious > you would immediately lose the "trusted access" to the team which you all need to continue to line your pockets handsomely online here, babbling on about the same old same old same old!:)
"HARDEST HITTING HOUR"? MORE LIKE HARDEST TO LISTEN TO, YOUR FUCKEN DICKHEAD VOICE IS UNLISTENABLE.
No cup with AM as captain
Fixing the mess resulting from the Shanahan/Dubas years is going to take time and in my mind an almost complete rebuild. It is time to give up on Matthews and Nylander and Rielly. These guys prove every year no matter who the coach it that they just are not going to get it done in the playoffs. They appear to have a complete lack compete and often look disinterested in playing. The no trade clauses given were a huge mistake. You save those for players that are truly elite and have proven themselves in the playoffs and not until then and then not everyone, maybe one or two players. Matthews is no captain, he never says anything of value. The fact that Matthews thinks they are fine says it all … he is clueless. He has no idea how to be a captain and lead the team. Tank, try and get the first pick and see if you can get Matthews and Nylander and Rielly to wave their no trade clauses to try and get more draft picks and more prospects from other teams. And stop trading away the future every year when you have no chance of winning anything.
yeah, Mitch was the problem alright, your topo gigio captain is the problem, Mitch has way more points than ole Topo Gigio, it's over no playoff's this year, fire the coaches, fire the gm, fire the president, but what ever you don't trade the heartless and not very good players, keep making the same mistakes and expect different results, you should be begging Mike Babcok to come back and treat these marshmello cream puff plays to some good ole bag skating and maybe run the bleachers with full equipment on, Topo Gigio is no leader, he's a follower, he'd be a number 5 or 6 on a good team, wake up leaf wanna be nation
Sorry, but it's time for Matthews to go. Great player but not a captain.
That game against the stars was really a 3-2/4-2 game, stars still win of course
