Mic’s are working that’s a huge improvement
Lmao true 😂 and reporters aren’t audibly bickering
🤣
Haha
New era fellas. We planning the parade again? 😂💀
Barely working at that lmfao so pathetic
Looks like Craig brought some proper mic’s with him as well😆😆
😂😂😂😂
These guys are so classy…I really appreciate how they were so respectful of Sheldon Keefe, who I agree was a great coach and great guy, and I wish him all the best, and the Maple Leafs & their new coach going forward.
Brendon Shanahan is a nice classy guy, however he has failed at his job. He has oversaw everything that’s gone wrong with this team.
Yes, let's praise the general professionalism that's expected from every executive in any professional sport. Such classy men. Nobody could do it better than Shanny and Tre.
@@Brandon18374 and much of what has gone right as well
put Matthews and Seider together
Looking forward to October. Go Leafs Go! Blue and white forever!
How is Steve Simmons still allowed near this team?
Everyone needs a nerdy heel
He's not the best but he's still better than Jonas Seigel. That guy is awful
simmons should be calling bingo games.
@@59salamiSo glad Stevie, was sent packing from the Calgary Sun .
Who is he
Steve Dangle's upcoming video on this is gonna be LIT!! 😂
Guy is annoying
@@roncassano4979 i agree.. if you enjoy high pitch shrieking then i guess hes alright..
@@dmarshall9927 Over years of watching, it's clear the guy knows hockey and truly doesn't screech that much. The only reason he gets the rep is because his most popular videos feature it.
@@ZoltanvamosOfficial I never said he didnt know hockey. But the screaming and extra acting is too much for me. Seems to be aimed towards 14 year olds.
@@dmarshall9927 Yup unfortunately that's my opinion too. If he just toned it down a bit , I'd hear him out.
thank you for having proper mics.
Love Treliving's answer on team play, build a team not a player. I also like his answer on Sheldon Keefe. I think Treliving will do great things, we will see if the high price players will buy into Berube's style and what he wants in a player.
lol . Tre is the worst .
I’m so excited for the Leafs and The Chief! I’m a Flyers fan so I’ve also had a soft spot for Mr.Berube.
"When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates, and the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back. Get that through your head!"
l like his answer to the 100 point seasons question... was basically a polite "who gives a shit"
Love that one too! If that’s the best question u can come up at an event like this then ur higher up needs to be evaluating your position. That’s an anyone question. Shouldn’t they be held accountable in their questioning? I’m not mistaken that has to be the most regurgitated question of them all. Most of the other questions were decent, thank god! Just like how the game is evolving so to should journalism. Its really quite comical but understood in a world were mainstream media has a distinct purpose and it’s not well intended for the most part. Let’s go higher ups, keep the mainstream meatheads at bay so we can finally follow some good content.
Exactly ( on the 100 pt seasons) there is no trophy given out for being the 3rd best out of 32 teams for aggregate points in the last 8 seasons. 😂😂, even being a Finalist in the Stanley Cup playoffs. 31 teams fail each year. Can Berube whip this lot into a successful playoff team?? We shall see..,,
6:35 Can’t wait to see a new style back in Toronto. Keefe was always allowing the stars to back off physically if they put up points but berube seems to want both.
Berube is a very, no - nonsense kind of guy. He will hold guys accountable for thier actions - or non action in some cases. I think this is a good choice.
Sounds like what everyone said about Babcock
@@eleanorcat9982 bam son
It doesn't matter who coaches the leafs the team is jinxed since 1967 we had so many coaches and haven't won 💩 so now Berube is our saviour lol 😂😂😂
he is way past his prime. THat hunger and determination is gone. Not the same as his Caps or even Flames days. Yes Leafs will again reach playoffs and again be out in round 1
@@eleanorcat9982 except Babcock appears to love silly mind games
Nice to see this one is longer than 15 seconds
Good luck to you Craig!
Coaching isn't the problem. Get rid of a couple of your Ice Capades stars and acquire 3 or 4 physical players with grit who hate losing
I think for long time Leafs fans who watched Berube when he played back in the day there is something to finally cheer about. I'm excited that he is the guy. I remember Burube coming to Toronto after Philly. Tough af old school NHL'er.
Welcome to Toronto Craig .❤
I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens ....
Craig Berube is also 1 of 5 player with 300+ career NHL fights. Tie Domi, Tiger Williams , Probert and Chris Nilan are the others. How many fights have you been in ? 😎
Where are you finding that number? According to hockey fights he had 241 fighting majors. Still a ton, but not over 300.
And at least one of those fights was against the guy at the other end of that table 😂
#Berube #craigberube take Seider for Marner
OHL was cool. this usa crap is non sense matthews can't even skate in the playoffs #nhl #mapleleafs
Loved Shanny mentioning that first-line players can battle too. Just saying, Auston et al...
Matthews didn't battle?
I hope craig berube fires the music DJ at the practice facility first day. The fun days are done boys time to get to work!
That’s ridiculous lol. Why would you kill someone’s job.
@@lukaz3336 because when the team is at practice they need to be focusing on the task at hand. No need for a DJ are you kidding me?
Exactly. So many so called fans prefer entertainment over the cup ffs @@Brandon18374
Many changes need to be made to this team to put them over the top. Craig looks committed and doesnt give a crap about their past. Moving forward!!!
#GoLeafsGO 💙🍁🏒🥅
Good luck. Gonna need it.
When Leafs management gets off their knees, change may happen
Didn’t change your mom.
So ready for Leafs to win a cup and have Robert Duvall play an uncanny Craig Berube 😂
Thats why he seemed so familiar to me 😂
Haha! This comment made my day.
Also, nobody cares about your process to find a coach (that's your business), fans and media are only concerned about results. Don't be CONFUSED with what really matters.
Marner is shaking in his wheelies.
Let’s go!
Toronto Maple Leafs biggest obstacle. Mainstream media and the so called fans that follow the mainstream media. Your energy is ultimately the tipping point in a game that has never had such parity. Happy there were some decent questions in this interview, well minus the typical, regurgitated talk of the past which doesn’t exist anymore FYI. We all know Mainstream has great unchallenged power, but it would be great to get some people in those dressing rooms with proper, creative questions for a lot more of us to be genuinely engaged. GO Leafs GO!
Let’s go!!
I will miss Keefe, he was such a nice guy. Lets hope Berube will turn out to be a good guy and coach for the Leafs as well, best of luck and hopefully next years roster is better than this years roster. Looking at you Treliving lol, no more Klingbergs or Reavo like signings please. Everyone knew that was silly from the get go and would not help this team get to the 2nd round. I personally hope Marner stays, i'd love to see what he and Cowan can do together. He was injured and he's a magnificent player i'd rather have on the team than with the opponent. Anyway, haters and lovers alike: i hope everyone has a good summer and i cannot wait for training camp to start, i'm so ready to get hurt again!
I was hoping they would hire Craig. Love it!
wow... looks like your DEI hires figured out the microphones!
My hopes are high......Definitely another first round exit.
Try to resign Domi,Eddy,Jones. Listen to trades for Marner but it's hard to replace a 100 point player.
not really when hes a no show in the playoffs since the start of his career. Who cares about regular season. Seriously.
Knies took a big step forward this year, Cowen is gonna get a shot next year after being the best player in the OHL this year, and Domi had great chemistry with Matthews. Plus Willy really solidified himself as a top 15 player in the league. With both him and Matthews getting a raise next year, getting the salary back from Marner is gonna be crucial for signing either some of the guys who are UFA's or looking at the market to fill holes.
@@TheEskimeaux The only thing you just said is "I don't understand the cap at all".
@@Dougie-ex1ov Marner leads all Leafs in playoff points over their 7 playoff years. Do you even watch hockey?
@@Dougie-ex1ovsame thing could be said about Matthews
Resign .. Max Domi ... ALL other unsigned players can Walk
Nope let max domi walk he is not worth 4 million plus and that's what he'll be wanting with the excuse he makes matthews better domi doesn't shoot needs a goal scorer to put up even 30 points keep Bertuzzi Robertson and lyubushkin reilly needs someone to play with so boosh is that person
Can I buy that jersey used in the photo op somewhere??
Blah blah blah . I'm giving up the Leafs , the time I put into watching leafs ,gonna put into my abs . 12 pack here I come
You won’t be missed pal
I really hope they don’t think this is all they need to do for success. They need a major change there lineup.
Says everything people wanna hear. Like a good politician. Means nothing until he actually proves it.
1st! Thank you Maple Leafs media for this
Thank you Sheldon , and the best of luck to The Chief , I feel Marner , JT , Samsonov and Bertuzzi need to be traded . Then go shopping for a legit starting goalie , 3 line center and top 2 Dguy . Cheers 🇨🇦
If brad and Brenden both had the same vision on how this team plays as Keefe and now they have the same vision as Berube, does that mean nothing is going to change with how this team plays?
Predictions how far they will go next season?
i hope the leafs comeback stronger than ever :)
Trade one of the core four and get a legit G or D. I'm thinking Marner.
You people need to be realistic. Marner and Traverse are not going anywhere. They are selfish and will not waive their no movement clause. Worst case scenario is you let them walk on July1st 2025. You free up over 20 million in cap space. Go out and get a number 1 goalie and defenseman and better supporting cast. Knies and Minton will have another year of experience and Cowan will make the team. Repeat after me - Leafs have no cap space to make the team better for the 2024/25 season. Even if they make the playoffs and get into the second round big deal. They are not making it to the final round. Facts do not lie. Let the talking heads talk as they have to play it up and make a living.
Is it the norm for Leafs management to not wear ties? I've never noticed that before. Every coach or GM I see usually has a tie.
Keefe wore ties regularly. I think these three just didn’t. Probably wasn’t planned.
@@theunderfaker5239 yea, not judging as i personally hate ties, but it just kind of stuck out to me, as most hockey execs and even players going to an arena or media announcement wearing ties. BTW, I love your username ⚱️⚰️
Trade: Marner, Samsonov, Tavares
Resign: Domi, Bertuzzi, Knies
Samsonov is a Free agent 🤦🏻♂️
@@GFY_FSleafs fans love trading people. Every day.
Are we going to start putting players in the corner? or can we just go back to spankings 😅
I'm gonna give some advise to Tree as the guy that builds Skyscrapers #721 #183. You got some good rooms where Nothing needs to be done. THERE IS A ROOM that needs to go down to the studs......that's the Salary cap room.....Tough choices equal beautiful results!
Marner for saros please guys
No keep marner, and add quality depth as cap goes up
@@pahul79 this core can't do it there good players but can't do it together
@@stevenraposo83 stamkos didn’t win a cup till he was 32. Ovechkin diddnt win till he was 33. Marner is 26, you would be foolish to trade him
@@pahul79 he's leaving anyway
@@pahul79 Context is important. Neither Stamkos or Ovi were being paid what Marner currently is, and even in the years they didn't win they still performed well for their team. Marner's game doesn't translate to the playoffs, there just isn't enough open ice and being relegated to the perimeter rarely provides much offense. He's good on the PK but there's 100 guys that aren't making 10mil who can PK. Let's not forget that last year Eichel was the first player to ever win a cup making double digit salary. The Leafs currently have 4, and both Matthews and Willy are getting a raise next year, so the most expensive core in the league is getting even more expensive. You simply cannot run this back in good conscience, someone needs to go and you're a lot more likely to find a trade partner for Marner than you are Tavares.
The mics are still amateur hour. If Tre moves slightly off center sound drops off immediately. Can these people figure it out? Not enough money?
they look expensive, isnt all that matters?
That ladies and gentlemen, is one joke of an organization and hockey club
Good coaching hire. Hopefully he can change the culture the way Rick Tocchet did in Vancouver.
Larkin pees sitting down.
So does marner
@@markwhite6719 People who stand to piss in a toilet smell like piss and their houses are covered in piss. You just can't smell it because you are nose blind to it. I'd rather sit than smell like piss like you do.
@@markwhite6719 lol
So does Babcock
@@Matthewkniesfan no he shits standing up
Riches team in the league, takes them 20 years to get press conferences sound to work. Never understood why they don't mic the reporters.
He's the wrong coach for this team. The core four are always looking for a tic-tac-toe play and with limited time and space in the playoffs they get overwhelmed. Leafs dont need another coach asking for truculence, they need players who decide that their personal accolades are secondary to winning. Why is it that every year leading up to the playoffs, the leafs usually tank? its because other teams tighten up getting ready for playoff type hockey and the leads do not.
"That was in the past" -- Craig Berube
"Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." -- Winston Churchill, Leaf Fan sick of this crap
relax
Shanahan is lost and should be fired ASAP. The guy was too easily swindled by a child GM (Dubass) into a building a team of small softies. Now 8 years later he's had an epiphany?! Ditch that guy.
As a life long hockey fan and leaf fan. What I have seen especially since the expansion era is the playoffs are insane. Favourites make first round exits and the teams who squeak into it win the cup or find their game. Let’s go oilers but I feel Florida under Maurice has the perfect team this year.
WOW Brad treliving! What incredibly manager you truly are for great historical organization the Toronto Maple Leaf. To me you are shoulder to shoulder with great management in cliff Fletcher, you hold that elk of a person . I think of you as him you’ll fix this team the Toronto Maple Leafs, Brad treliving great coach, Craig Berube is really incredible Coach tough we go through wall . Craig want this job because talent players on Leafs is incredible. Fans only see half what Toronto can really do as team . Leafs are really great team throughout the seasons just they need new warrior voice Craig give what players need toughness push when it really hard on they ice and off they ice . Great hire Toronto Managements 🏒🥅💙💙💙💙💙💙 I bleed 🩸 blue through and through bleed blue 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Who was the tiny, frail little guy during the photo op? Is that the owner? I'm not a big Leafs fan. It's a genuine question.
Keith Pelley, CEO of MLSE
@@dtsx1557 thank you
2015: Babcock is the best coach in the league and will lead the Leafs to a cup!!
2019: Sheldon Keefe won at every level and he will bring the Leafs to the cup!
2024: Berube is the “fit” we need to bring us to glory.
2027: Brendan Shanahan has been hired as coach and will lead the Leafs to the cup
If your not to mention names, then number of people you talk to can be any number you want it to be anywhere from 1 to say 20.
Does the new coach know that the leaf players don't win in playoffs nomatter who coaches
Welcome back Chief
Gary Bettman thinks this hiring is wonderful, just wonderful.
Why u here then cry baby ?
Craig must of bought new mics for us 😂
That’d be great lol.
Seems like brad and brendan will let him coach and speak how he wants.
Lets see where we are at the end of the season!!! Bottom line-We need a Stanley Cup!!!
No Canadian team will win a cup as long as Bettman is around
It's just a job. Nothing special. Nothing exciting. The players are all the same and their mindset on the ice is all the same. This is peak Toronto hockey. Only down from here. Tampa Bay is a real hockey club and have a roster of growth. Look for Tampa and New Jersey to leap the leafs
Being the coach of the Leafs is the greatest job there is. You get paid a fortune whether your team wins or gets smoked every game all season. Leafs fans will continue paying outrageous prices for a god awful club. The coach is never held to account and gets away scott free every time. Sign me up.
And then what
Well, lets hope this coach move gives a new start to a sad play off history 🍀.
Maybe also a new goalie like Jussi Saros could help there.
Although the problem was not the goalie, but that the key players like Marner, Tavares and even Mathews could not deliver goals in play o
offs.
Hopefully Berube can finally make Nylander a 200 foot player.
leafs will run it back
Nice to see the changes but in truthfulness it's the players on the ice period no excuses to young making to much.🙏🤔
Can someone please teach these guy how a microphone works? Because clearly it's the constant turning away from the mic and continuing to speak that is the real issue.
It doesn't matter who coaches this soft team. They will have a great regular season and show up lame in the playoffs. We need more than just this coaching change, we need significant trades involving players that never show up when it matters most. Winning is hard, winners find a way, losers find excuses. We got highly skilled player's lacking heart and courage. Hope Berube is the Wizard of FlOz. They have alot of talent to go with those flaws.
. . Target UFA's ... .. Domi .. Kapanen . . Lyubushkin .. . Ekkman-Larsson .. Montour .. DeBrusk
Bert, boosh, Zadorov, Nicholas Robertson, montour, Debrusk and Ullmark pls you can let domi walk not worth 4 million plus that he'll be asking for
In all honesty leaf fans….. how do you trust your gm when he’s literally done nothing in his career. He’s a great talker but he has nothing behind him at all.
So Ryan Oreilly wants to come back to the leafs good to know
Its all up to the fans. Point. If you keep filling the arena, nothing will change. If you keep purchasing merch, nothing will change. You want change? Show them who really has the power over that team. Its us! And noone else! You want the cup? Dont stream the games either! Berube is as much of a joke and a smack in the fans face as it is Shanahan still sitting on his seat. They dont listen to the fans, because they belive they know better - or which other circumstances lead them to stick to the same losers plan. I wouldnt be wondering if the core stay with the team. Avoid being a Leafs fan, at least for 1 or 2 years.
Someone should add an Ummm counter to the video LOL
Goes for every hockey interview. Take a drink when you hear uhhhmmm
@@codydavidyates72 oh god no you would have alcohol poisoning before the interview was over lol
Leave it to Friedman to ask the stupid question
Brenden holding the jersey with one finger like wtf was that? So awkward
The whole photo op at the end looked horribly awkward and poorly planned. Berube didn't know where to stand or put his hands.
@@ipsbznope. Berube looks just fine. It’s Brenden who was hesitant to hold the jersey
The core 4-5 will be back in full swing hahaha that’s a given
The contracts would tell you different sir , 4 guys getting paid more then most lol
They better not run shit back again.
If they win or lose you'll still be you. Them winning means they're winners.... not you.
@@Spincat08how profound 🙄 kick rocks
@@JimmyKnies It may seem profound to a loser that needs other men to accomplish things so that they feel good about themselves. How about you get a life of your own and stop relying on other men.
Yeah they thought it was a good fit with Babcock to
Fire Shanmahan
wtf??? steve simmons with an actually decent question???? who abducted that man's brain
edit: nevermind he was given a second question
Haha Treliving says it's about team not 3 4 or 5 guys but the hierarchy of the leafs salary structure is dedicated to 3 4 and 5 guys. 60% of it!! I like Tre but he has to do better here
I mean he walked into that. Dubas did that.
Shanny went back to the boomer generation. Get ready for more mediocrity!
The best coaches are boomers
Nobody can help the leafs.
Lets go leafs
Shanahan what a loser a long time ago that dude should have been fired letting Kyle Dubis to trade Connor Brown let Zach Hyman go but they pay Bertuzzi as a Toronto Maple leaf fan this is generational disappointment
No Sheldon no cup
North hockey? Oh no, please Berube, don't abandon those cutesy drop passes; they're excellent for possession stats! Hopefully, he'll keep those risky and useless cross-ice passes that cost the Leafs two series.
