“I haven’t seen a Leaf team this good since Pat Quinn was running it.”

I'm not sure what buttons Berube has to push to get this team back on track but aside from a victory against Chicago, I don't think they've played a good game that they really deserved to win since they beat Calgary before the 4 Nations cup.

From the build of the team and the general consistency of the goaltending there's a lot to like - but they still haven't put it together. I'd speculate because some of the players really aren't playing his style all that well - he needs more buy-in and he needs to be one of them so he can lead by example. I don't like Berube's dump-in by default style because he don't have the bruising and crashing wingers to retrieve those pucks on dump-ins and I don't like that the team has the opportunity to gain the line without dumping the puck in and still dumps it in way too often. But if the coach has a style you need to play to it.

OV only 10 goals back now 😳

This will be interesting considering current world events
A Russian breaking the all time goals record
Gretzky will probably need to make an appearance
Hopefully Putin phones to congratulate him 😂

It’s pretty much a problem up and down the lineup lately

The fact that you forgot to put McMann in the lineup makes your opinion entirely irrelevant.

Guess I'm lucky I didn't forget your bum buddy Marner.

Mitch Marner is the best Maple Leaf of all-time. There’s really no debate.

The Leafs will go to 14M x 8 to lock him up, and frankly that’s a bargain.

Go Leafs Go!

Berube is an overrated coach. He deserves credit for winning his Cup but he did it with a certain set of tools that he doesn't have here. It's exactly why the Leafs need to add Parayko and a solid shutdown 3C. Getting these guys to play his style is important for the playoffs but he needs some more guys that naturally suit the style or share the load.

Not that I think Tavares should wear the C any more, and as much as I thought Matthews should have it....he seems like a worse C?!

When Matthews is as irrelevant as Jarnkrok in any given game, maybe, just maybe, we need a better C?!

I guess since I'm on PST I'm the only one of you wienerheads still awake....

Wake up to this...

When the Leafs suck, they can really suck. Wow.

Not one of them, even Marner, can spark a turn around. They can just straight up suck.

Per Dregger.

Leafs had a Deal in place for Crosby but after seeing the last 2 games he declined to be traded

Missed most of the game because there was a fire in the house beside us (I poop you not). I heard the fire alarm in their house (they were out) and wife called police as we saw no smoke / fire but were worried maybe it was a Co2 alarm and police came, pried open a sliding door and smelled smoke and called Fire Dept.

Pot left on stove - they ran a line into the house and opened it up, I would imagine a lot of water damage and it still reeks of smoke outside.

Then I had a 10pm hockey game vs my younger brother. It was similar to the Leaf game and I"ll leave it at that.

Watched the last 10 minutes of the game and then saw the high (low) lights - woof.

Marner -1 despite scoring? And people talking about him deserving more than Matthews?

Leafs miss the playoffs without Willy - fact.

Get Rants and let Marner take the same as Willy or walk, if he really wants to be a Leaf he will take the deal if not bye Felicia.

Saw Marner's post game presser - unimpressive and uninspiring to the max.Strip him of the A he was gifted by Lou to compensate for the salary issue and give it to the true leader on the wing - Willy.

Knies throwing the bombs and wining his fight was

The rumour of a huge Philly and Toronto trade involving Willy is nothing less than pure BS.

Nite.

Let's all be thankful that that woof of a game was a 10pm start, so all of us smart people missed it.
