Leafs talk 2

19 Oct 2025 13:55:00
U know what i love is when im right...leafs are not very good, there a losing atmosphere, letting mitch marner go was the biggest mistake in leafs history...cowan isn't ready, joshua isn't that good, they dont play robertson or jarnkrok enough...the lines arent figured out...they need a top winger, they need a puck moving YOUNG DEFENCEMAN....and that means getting rid of one of there top 4s...i think carlo/prospect and a pick for some young stud....upfront as well we got to take from roster(combination of players...even tho hes a real good player...roy/cowan and something to make money work maybe pick too idk should get us tuch...i think laughton and, get kampf back as your 4th...would be fine...worked last year...or if u dont wanna get ri of roy, laughton, but u would have to add more...im so fed up with this team...theres to many americans...think back to 93...all canadian top line...the reason there terroble csuse they got rid of our best player, and if u people say matthews is better then marner you got to be the dumbest b.o.d.s...leafs dont address these two holes..wc or missed playoffs...two other problems berube tree...

Anybody or everyone finally on board when it comes to Maccelli? It wasn’t a good pick up. Tre was hoping for this shot in the dark so he could look like a genius. But just like Klingberg last year, he is not it. On that note I’d take Minten and that 1st back for Carlo. He hasn’t looked good in a Leafs jersey since he got here. Where is your heart? Wasn’t like that on Boston. Playing like a v-gina. Not sticking up for your goalie is one thing but you’re softer than Thomas Kaberle and you’re 7feet tall. Willy still giving up on plays costing us goals. So happy Stolarz called out the team yesterday, this guy is a warrior and knows what it takes to win with being on Florida. Where is this DNA change?
Positives of this game: our goalie and 4th line, starting to love what Joshua is bringing to the table. But unfortunately (and like usual) not enough of it. Not sure how this doesn’t drive Berube nuts. One of the best goalies in the league and he has to stick up for himself. SMH.

Leafs will probably lose tonight of they do, im going to every site i know, to try and convince berube to get fired, i will start the chant..

19 Oct 2025 01:19:23
Are you good?

19 Oct 2025 12:22:57
"Every" site you know? Even Walmart, Macdonald's, Ford etc?

That's going to take some time and dedication. Lol.

18 Oct 2025 20:11:02
And yiu people dont think berubes the problem on this team, ur mistaking, hes one of the worst coaches in this league, of coarse u people will stick up for him, benching jarnkrok in favor of lorentz..lol, clearly berube the p.o.c likes d..preaches only d...has lorwntz ever got a point since playing with the leafs...im not even sure, have to check, but benchingbur top goal scorer jarnkrok..is so beyond rediculous i hate berube...he was a rubbishty player and even worse coach...

17 Oct 2025 01:25:21
I think and its just my opinion, im sure people will disagree, and not saying hes not great on penalty kill...but id take knies off sometimes and put bobby mcmaan...im telling ya hed be good, hes a fast and strong skater with size and scoring...go with matthews, mcmaan, mcabe and tanev, i think we nedd a lil speed on penalty kill...believe me when i say mcmaan, guy is the real deal...now i know some of yas think idk what im talking about...but i do...sometimes tanev even know our best pk, we cant always over work him..shelter knies and tanev...

17 Oct 2025 07:09:40
I think Mathews, as good as he is defensively, should be vanished from the PK. Man does he look lost out there sometimes.

16 Oct 2025 20:09:57
Expect big games tonight from robertson, cowan, joshua, and jarnkrok...leafs 3rd/4th line will have to be good tonight...calling the game to be an overtime game... 4-3 or 5-4...taking leafs...ot winner from cowan..

16 Oct 2025 17:53:22
Trading robertson will be a mistake, as much as u people on here dont like him, he deserves to be a leaf...i watch him play, which berube dont give him much time, he plays hard, i know hes not to strong but he battles and can score, why berube dont like players that battle and score is bdyond me, they say hes not gd defensivly, i dont believe that...to me he battles, berube and tree are making this team pure defensive and big...u need goal scorers..this team an u mark my words will become a pylon team..that might not allow msny goals, but with an aging d..and limited scorers, this team is gonna get worse...u need balance...top 6 scorer and a top puck moving dman...trading off just spare parts will not solve anything...we need to put a package together, and get a top 6...forsberg sill be ideal for leafs cause he can score and play defensively..if you lose robertdon and they send cowan back then what??

15 Oct 2025 01:57:12
Wonder if its crossed everybodies mind like it does me everyday knowing hockeys rigged fixed..last 6 years floridian teams in the cup...when does it stop...because the topics came up hard this year...vegas, colorado, florida one of those s
Will win, they might let olers or the cinderella montreal do something...but never leafs...tht goof p.o.c bettman, i hope chokes on his own vomit one day...hes hated the leafs since he came in 93...bill daily is a goof too...if vegas, colorado, or florida wins the cup...and leafs montreal or nyr do nothing about it...then im stepping away...hockey would not survive without those 3 teams..

15 Oct 2025 17:11:40
When have the Leafs looked good enough to win exactly? MTL as well for that matter. They had no business winning in the covid bubble except for Price dominating.

Call it a fix all you want, it's poor management.

14 Oct 2025 22:17:50
3 american goalies an american leader.. and im sure there's many more, its no wonder why they dont play with any heart...i cant believe hockey and the leafs organization...what?? if we did find someway to pull through!, and win the cup, it has to be because of the americans on the team..

15 Oct 2025 00:16:23
Can we settle down and say it's not even 5 games in yet?

14 Oct 2025 11:35:43
Berube is the problem, that's why he was fired out of st louis...he was a coach who got lucky at the cup...then fired...not playing robertson is wrong...playing joshua is wrong....not playing jarnkrok or mcmaan on the top line is wrong....trevling needs to add someone quick...a puck mover d...pre young...and a top 6 whatever...buffalo is faltering, so will the flames...tuch, kadri or we can get forsberg..give up whatever...even cowan...rather go for it all now..while nylander and matthews are still great...but i will put money on it...this is the starting of step back...if so then f%%% hockey

14 Oct 2025 20:47:20
So, you don't think the coach should demand they play with heart and accountability? Because that is what he is demanding and some of these guys so far this year (Matthews, Nylander, McCabe (hard to believe but true), Joshua and even JT) haven't seemed to figure out the season has started. That is the biggest problem.

14 Oct 2025 21:56:32
@RLF agreed. McCabe and Carlo have both looked lost out there a large majority of the time. The two guys that surprised me most with the change in attitude.

14 Oct 2025 00:36:30
Going on a second year of Mathews looking like he lost it. Everyone saying it's because of Mitch seems to have forgotten last year. He just doesn't look right.

14 Oct 2025 13:45:04
I think he looks better each game. He is more like a combo of Barkov and Ovi than he is a McKinnon. He is not going to go past people through the neutral zone etc.

The one thing about him that worries me more than anything is that he doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body. He seems to lack physical push back. He needs to start engaging in scrums and coming to the defence of his linemates in scrums instead of skating away to avoid them. He's strong, so throw a guy to the ice every now and then in a scrum. Wipe the smile off your face and go at someone. I don't think it is in him though. I think Willy actually has more push back than Matthews. If Matthews would push back, it would go a long way to dragging his teammates into that mentality that Berube wants to see.

14 Oct 2025 21:55:23
@RLF I would have agreed with you, except i remember a playoffs a few years ago where he hit everything that moved, was in every scrum, etc. He just doesn't seem to care anymore.

15 Oct 2025 11:23:52
LL. I wouldn't say he was hitting everything that moved exactly, but yes, he was more physical that playoff. Since he hasn't done it since, doesn't that kind of prove my point more? I mean, he obviously didn't like playing that way since he stopped doing it. Right?

16 Oct 2025 22:49:48
@RLF conversely, I think it has to be a let down when you're playing physical, scoring, putting in the effort on D, and you watch Mitch and Willy skate in circles on the perimeter.

At a certain point I wouldn't want to make the effort either.

17 Oct 2025 03:24:03
Nicely done LL. Fair enough point. Now the question becomes do you want a guy on the team that you feel isn't putting in the effort? Especially your highest paid player and captain?
