@@Butcher48G yoh! Relax, the “earth” thing is just a quote and the shoulder-shoulder pads are an insider hockey joke (I played long enough myself). Marner would laugh about this honestly just like he did being “bubble boy” for a while. I do a lot of things but mostly teach. Keep it light here please. Here’s another hockey throwback: “it’s only game”. Look it up, you might just like it. 🙏
Love how there is no extra embellishment from Coach, he simply ends his sentences at the exact moment he has made his point not one word more...next question
Marner leads the team in goals and points, especially of the core 4/5. People talk how consistent certain players are, while insulting Marner, yet Marner has been one of the most important players in the playoffs.
Certainly seems like Berube has the right demeanour and mind set to coach this team. They have needed to play a North/South game for years but just please don’t revert back to the 100 foot stretch passes!
I want the media to leave Mitch Marner alone, and shut the hell up about him when the season starts. Let him play without distractions. He's still here for the meantime, deal with it.
Your talking about Toronto here lol you already know that won't happen, year after year all they do is criticize players, I've seen it for over 25 years
He doesn't play defense. Willy casually skates back to the Leafs blue line and stands there hoping for a pass up. He's damn near useless, except when in front of the net with little to no pressure. I don't understand how Marner gets the slack while Nylander gets praised. Most "fans" are clueless
@@jeffreycairns767 That's why I could never understand why brad treliving re-signed Nylander. If you put him up against any of the stars on Florida he is an absolute DUD! treliving and Berube pride themselves on size, grit, never taking a shift off, and Nylander is NONE of those things. I still think someone else is pulling the strings in this organization NOT the GM's.
@@philt77 Again another so called fan that knows nothing! YOU CAN'T WIN IN THE PLAYOFFS PLAYING LIKE NYLANDER DOES!! Wake up!! FOR GOD SAKE!! Did you see the NHL finals this year or any year really, you need stars that play heavy! Not floaters like Nylander. The guy is a hopeless.
Why nobody asking if Willy is starting at Centre is John moving to the wing or is he gonna be a 3rd line centre because that’s a boat load of money for a 3rd line centre and if Domi is gonna play 2nd line wing who is playing 3rd line centre ?
Don't think about the money. They are recreating the magic of Bertuzzi Matthews Domi on all 3 lines. Most teams have 2 stars and some depth. Imagine 3 lines of elite centers with wingers who create chaos and open space. You basically have 3 top lines and one line that just wants to push you around and wear you out.
The leafs don't really have a choice due to so much of the cap tied to there core. Who plays 2C? Tavares gone in a year or taking a step back with no replacement, no prospects, can't afford one in fa Shitty position to be in
@@aliboroumand8981 omg... we absolutely CAN afford one in FA once JT takes a hometown discount and his 10+ million is off the books.. also, not sure what will happen with Marner after this year. We also have a couple center prospects - so there IS hope.
@@aliboroumand8981Tavares is still fine at 2C if Willy doesn’t work. Elite at faceoffs especially. JT also isn’t going anywhere for at least a few more years. & as far as prospects you should watch Fraser Minten. A centre.
Tavares has at least 1 more season at 2C in him should we need him. After that, we free up a ton of cap space to figure that one out. Tavares will definitely take a large pay cut and be able to work the 3rd or 4th line. That gives people like Minten for example, or a free agent an opportunity to play the second line
THANK YOU!!!!!! WTF is wrong with "fans"? He even returned last year not 100% but still played, while Matthews and Nylander sat. The hate Marner is getting is just pathetic and shows most don't actually pay attention to the whole game
@@jeffreycairns767 ive never seen a fan base, blast their own player as much as toronto does. Its incredible. and yes, you can see his skating was subpar and thats what he relies on to make his incredible moves. Glad to see theres some real leafs fans out there
@theultranationalist To be fair, most are not real fans. Also, there have been a few players over the years that should not of been in, but the way some berate them is just disgusting. Look how Sammy was treated when he got them to the second round vs the start of last season vs towards the end vs the playoffs. How some can jump on the bandwagon so quickly amazes me. Guys like Justin Holl didn't deserve the hate but Keefe over played him. It was clear that he did not belong in the top d men and was consistently bad for years, but Keefe kept putting him in. Marner has been a consistent player year after year but between the hate, trade rumors and expecting him to take a massive reduction contract, most are completely clueless on just about everything. Marner has also set Matthews up for about 90% of his total goals scored.
Only this time of ballerina femboy Mitchellette Marnerette decides to be a prima Donna he’ll be benched until he learns to be a man. Berube isn’t the soft coach pillsbury doughboy Keefe was you know
@@mycrease8936Yeah unfortunately. Screw Mitchellette and his 11 million he’s done nothing to justify what he’s earning other than be an effeminate little cry baby who throws his gloves off like a toddler instead of taking accountability.

WELLLLLLLLLL, Craig hit all the right notes imo, so let's see how that translates into camp, the pre-season & then puck drop in October. Personally I'm curious to see what Chief does if Bill reverts to 'half-ass it Bill' coasting to the bench on a change that requires urgency, or dogging it on a backcheck, or not applying the required detail vis-à-vis positioning (F1, 2 or 3) as needed as the 2nd line centre (assuming that actually works). It's going to be interesting & a bit sad that Dewar & Hakanpää are not yet 100%
The usual hope (smoke and mirrors). The playoffs come, they go 7 games and lose. Players say they're "right there" and management runs it back year after year. A pathetic hockey club.
@knganth3m They're called haters, not fans. Real hockey fans, regardless of what team they cheer for, don't deliberately want a certain team to fail.

@@jeffreycairns767 no certain a lot of people have a watch party at game 6 or 7, to watch the first round exit of the leafs, it brings a lot of joy, and really who can hate being filled with so much “Joy” ☺️
what is he talking about at 3:12 ? hes not focused on the playoffs hes focused on camp??? wtf .That is the WRONG thing to say to fans that have seen their team win 1 round in the last 20 years .Its ALL about the playoffs -camp and the 82 meaningless regular season games dont mean a damm thing
Big fucken deal, still nobody in-between the pipes, they are still going nowhere, after 30 years of the same old shit this fan checked out a few years ago

Simply, Berube does not want to see the Leafs be push-overs anymore! I agree with him 100%.
Top 4 will collapse in the playoffs again. How will that change?

Very much appreciate the production quality today. Great work to all involved. Thanks!
Hopefully Leafs come in to this season as improved as the audio here!

Dude scares the crap outta me from my phone screen!
This guy is a good coach
Can't be worse than Keefe was. If everybody can stay healthy, this could be a scary team, especially with the new coach. Only time will tell

After the great success Domi had with Matthews i still dont understand not pairing them together right from the getbgo
