Berube

[southernblues]

Is he done in Toronto? They are dead last in their division and second to last in the wildcard chase?

[netboy65]

I never thought that was a good fit. They don’t have the players to match up with the way he likes to play.

[zamadoo]

That seems to be the growing consensus. We'll see if it happens.

Chief responding to an in-game question about what has been the factor for the Blues during the SCF: "Work Ethic and Simplicity"

His general coaching philosophy is to work hard, play hard, and be a team player. Work as a unit to establish the forecheck and keep the puck at the other end of the ice. Protect the net and goalie, playing team D with several shut down units. Don't leave anyone out to dry. Have some gumption.

He's not asking for much, just honest hockey. The modern player is disillusioned by their perceived abilities vs actual effectiveness. It must be the SC winning coach's fault we're in last place.

[Frank Underwood]

I think DeBoer could get a short-term bump out of the team, but I think the Leafs are just hopelessly flawed.

The Berube experience in Toronto just makes tho very rare situation like Jon Cooper in Tampa all the more amazing. He is obviously a great coach, but his longevity with one team in impressive.

There seem to be a lot of coach killers on the Maple Leafs.

It’s coming …soon. I read last night that it will likely be Derek Lalonde at least for the rest of the year which would be the most Toronto Maple Leafs thing ever. Deboer makes the most sense to me though.

[ManitobaBlues]

I feel bad for Berube, as this team was set up from failure when Shanny was running the team. The problem with the leafs there is no leadership and they look like they do not like playing with each other.

Yeah, I never really thought this was a good fit for Chief at all. He needs a steady goaler and a heavy forecheck for his system to work and Toronto has neither of those.

It's only been 117 games though. This is why Toronto doesn't win, they go through coaches like this. Just stupid.

Paul Maurice is a straight shooter too. Even he would have a challenge with those spoiled & pampered pets.
I think it's time for the league to have some fun. If Toronto quits on Berube, then they need to hire John Tortorella.

[wiscrev]

Maybe that's what you get when you get top 5 players! Prima donnas.

If they quit on Berube then yeah the most logical next choice is Deboer, but after that I don't know anyone who could get that group to play winning hockey

[TruBlueFan_1970]

I say bring back Mike Keenan and let him coach those spoiled clowns!!

[BalotelliMassive]

I feel bad for Berube,

I don't - dude will be making money while sitting on the couch pounding beers just like he did with the Blues.

[Pierre McGuire]

This is all on Matthew’s and Nylander. I’d take Morgan Rielly here, he would shore up our #2 LD issue.

does Nylander get along with anybody??

shame, because he's one of the few there that actually shows up in the playoffs

What's Darryl Sutter doing these days?
