They have massively upgraded their blue line that’s the difference. If the leafs can spend less time in their own end and more on the offensive side. I also believe the goalie situation is better.
Berube could have a similar impact to what Rick Tocchet had in Vancouver last year. Get some systems in, make sure everyone is playing hard, and if he has to bench highly paid players, that's what he's going to do. Everyone has to buy in, not just in the regular season but in the playoffs. Every team is a choker until they're not. Mario took 7 years in Pittsburgh to win a Cup. Yzerman took 14 years.
Ah yes, because everyone know that Mario had teams that fell short in the playoffs for most of the time before he won a Cup. What's that? The teams actually kept missing the playoffs entirely because he had no talent around him and once they got talent around him and a proper coach, the team won something? Pfft. Fake news. Tell me you know nothing about hockey without telling me you know nothing about hockey. Good luck getting free tickets from the Leafs, though!
This is what we want to see on the dangle podcast, Steve giving us his opinion. I can no longer stand to watch the SDP because adam makes it unwatchable. Jesse is cool though.
The mentality will be different this year. Personal accolades won't matter - the TEAM wants to win something! Not only that, you are underplaying how much better the roster is this year. Up front, Pacioretty will easily be a bigger contributor than Bertuzzi if he's healthy, McMann and Knies are coming into their own as a legit power forwards with a year under their belt, Robertson HAS to play well to get paid, and overall our bottom 6 depth has NEVER been better. Goaltending and D will clearly be better so not much point going in depth on that. This team has a good chance finishing top of the division AND conference. As good as the Rags or Panthers imo. I also think they are going to go deeper this year than the herd expects. Everyone is used to being disappointed, they dont see the opportunity yet.
This Leafs team will never be Cup contenders with Marner on the roster. Mark my words. This group with Marner and Tavares and Rielly won't make it to Conference while apart of this team. Marner, maybe when he's 38/39 goes to play for some other club, he'll win the cup as a 4th line passenger perhaps. But as a Leafs in his prime with the way this team is built? No chance.
We’ll just have to see what happens this coming season. (Especially playoffs) IMHO it will all come down to Goaltending…BTW, “Marner throwing his stick” That is a problem? That is passion. We want that! Instead of the typical look of the inevitable resignation when things go bad …
He acts as if his team only has 2 playoff round victories in the past 21 years… oh wait, they do. Seems like you’re the delusional one thinking that a new coach is suddenly going to fix everything. 😂🤡

The Leafs are going to do SFA again this season and will continue the trend for at least a couple hundred more years.

Except his opinion once again sucks, and he's still bitter about Dubas being fired, blah blah

I will go on the concept that you are misunderstanding He hasn't played a Game THIS YEAR

We finally get a real coach in here and Steve's sceptical and whiney. Shocker...

57 subscribers?
This core group already had a coach who preached to the same choir. His name was Babcock
The bay leaf is a major flavor enhancer Steve. Don't be so ignorant lol
WTF??? This a shit on Marner post even before he plays a game?
He's played 576 games. Anyone is within their right to criticize him.
Bruh, there's a reason why bay leaf is in so many recip
