Bubbles would say " Decent! Game boyz !"
nice win!! sends a good message to the rest of the league!
Keep this up.
Leafs goalie Woll injured leafs are done
That Habs game was rock bottom for me. None of them except OEL had any jam that night. If they can show some bite and run the Habs off Saturday night it would be a step in the right direction.
I really like Berube and I wish the players always battle for him like this. This road trip was about battling teams with decent records and it was impressive. The Leafs are a gritty bunch.
Berube talked about puck possesion and moving it between each other. Another words passing. That is the big difference I have seen in the last few games. Puck movement and crisp and accurate passing especially from the Defence. Chief said that is something they are stressing more in practice. So even at the elite NHL level passing and quick puck movement along with high tempo skating need to be emphasized and worked on in practice. I think they strayed too far away from those things and got caught up too much in systems. Structure is important but without the high level skills added on top they are worth less. I like OEL on the point during the power play. I think it will pan out. At the least he is like an insurance policy of not getting scored on. Having him on the opposite side so he can do quick one timers is key. Leafs should do more of those one timers from the point. Pass it around til you open up a lane for the point man to shoot. Being on the off wing you can just rip it like Ovechkin does from his office. Matthews can slide back to the point as well on his off wing and get shots from there. Teams are good at cutting off seam passes so just do it up higher. Adapt!!!!!!!!
I hate to say it, he is still not the coach to get the most out of these guys. he is a scrapper by trade and short fuse. Not a good combo for a coach. Unfortunately as with everyone that comes the Leafland the bias leafs sports media inflates them. They portray Berube as walk on water and philosophical genius. However. No one has said strategist, tactical etc etc. Truly think the Leafs need thAat type of coach.
