The Leaf Core 4 (not the coach) made the mistakes which caused the Leaf Second Round Playoff Disappointment. So there is no mistake in resigning the coach. The Leaf Core 4 have to “face the mirror” – and play in the playoffs at least close to how they are ranked compared to top NHL ranked players that do thrive in the playoffs.
As a leaf fan i think its a make or break season for Robertson. The one player i was upset we let walk away was Luke and i dont like we traded Sundin so in my mind our D core is too weak
Well the coach had no set lines for literally the whole season ..call me crazy but I would say it's hard to get chemistry when ya just throw the lines in the blender every game ….
Nice pod boys!
The Extension doesn’t matter. It could be 10 years and he could still be gone by Christmas. They got rid of Babcock, so they can easily get rid of a 1st round only winner.
What about a Minni tournament at beginning of year instead of preseason games as the season warmup
It's not hard to play defense part of the game for a defenceman you don't need the talent you do for scoring you just need to commit to it. I think Kleinburg will be better on defence of part of the game and will get more then 60 points wil be a plus 21, and score 17 goals
That Athletic survey is not the definitive account of how Leafs fans feel. You must remember the very biased, pro-Dubas crowd who are subscribers of the Athletic. They don't represent the Leafs fan base as a whole, they're just a very vocal minority with a big social media presence. On the whole, I think Leafs fans are happy that Dubas is no longer the GM.
Stupid ratings leafs one of best teams in the league and gets a bottom team rating makes know since
The Athletic has gone downhill since the NY Times bought them, they aren't what they once were.
Robertson and the rest of the munchkin parade were all bad picks. Successful undersized players are rare for a reason. Betting the farm on them isn't a recipe for success.
Vegas brought in the coach Dubas should have hired after he fired Keefe.
Treliving, well I guess we have to wait and see. I am not happy he kept Keefe but we will have to see how his team does.
