I'm not saying that I would fire Berube, but I think the Savard firing is just to appease the heat/noise around the team.
I'm not sure if this really changes anything, because I'm sure Berube and all the assistant coaches were involved in trying to fix the struggling PP. I think they actually need to bring in a new PP coach now, instead of having Lalonde (plus other coaches) run it moving forward.
Maybe bring in Boudreau, he is known more for being an offensive style coach (hopefully he would be able to help).
Accountability
This really reminds me of the same kind of accountability shown towards the players. Top guys safe and play major minutes, even though they're not playing well at all. And then they scratch bottom 6 guys and cut their minutes. All nonsense 🙄
If they seriously wanted to show accountability and make a change, then they should have fired the Head Coach.

So how many of you were opposed to the Mason Marchment trade ideas?
Probably the same people that were opposed to the Sam Bennett proposals.

Nylander is the best player leafs have...trading him would be the stupidest thing they could do..u guys say hes lazy..? It's called not trying and why should he, berube is one of the worst coaches in the game, who got lucky by winning a cup 6/7 years ago..he's a 1990 coach, was a bum as a player and idiot who chews his gum piece after piece and quite frankly i cant stand the site of him so why should the players berube changes that second line every other game not building chemistry so nylander said screw this everytime we win a game berube benches someone who played well so ge wants change do nylander said screw this ill show u change and not try..u guys want nylander gone lol...he takes 10 games off and still leads the leafs in points...let's build snot lets sign wash ups and over agers and of coarse pylons..let's fix that bottom 6 again and again with players who don't know how to play...it's a points league...Mark my words leafs trade nylander the team ge goes too...he'll have a career year...at the beginning of the season he was God, his relationship strains with the coach and u want a 90 point scorer gone cause he quit on this lineup, marner put up 102, and .8 in playoffs and it's not good enough..lol how that work..points league..they say defence wins games but in order to win games u got to what score, u telling me nylander cant score cause 11 game drought..berube chooses players to pick on..Robertson, maccelli, nylander..who's worse him or babcock..id quit on the team 2

This was an issue with Nylander under two previous coaches. This is not new.
23 Dec 2025 14:46:04
I agree with you LeafsLife. Three coaches were all to blame for the lack of compete in Nylander and Matthews? I am sick of making excuses for these guys. I watch less talented teams bust their asses because of pride and a willingness to work.
This team went to game 7 in the second round against the eventual SC winners. And now Berube is the worst coach in the game?
Playing the Berube way has worked for the Leafs, they have already proven that.

I see all the polls leaning towards keeping berube, u got to be effing kidding me...that's the whole problem, that's all leafs do is talk about or dign former blues. This is the leafs they won the cup 6 years ago..those players are 6 years older, what happened after that, he dragged them to the bottom.. even in the cup year for the blues they were at the bottom, they got luck to help them turn that year around..yes it's on the players to do the work, but when they brought berube in, the team still played keifs way, and were just starting to learn berubes system, leafs should have off loaded there stars besides a cpl..I knew this was going to destroy the leafs, u cant play one way for a decade and then completely change your ways, look at are stars besides Tavares, have drastically hurt them, nylander just doesn't want berube as coach, but he'll turn it around, matthews cant..rielly Def not, besides tavern, nyl, cowan, knies, this team needs change, and u got to start over, berube has to go treliving has to go..I cant stress this enough..I liked keifs way. At least it was fun. I'd rather playoffs every year rather then missing..toronto got to old, kept the same players besides there best marner and added spar parts, snot lol cliche.. this league is a scoring league, leafs cant even do that, berube style, keeping pucks out surely hasn't gone that way...it's done...ill say it one more time...knies, cowan Tavares, nylander mcaabe mcmaan, jarnkrok, oel, woll everyone else pce...Savard lol...that was trees big change..never added anyone before roster freeze, because he cant, knowone wants to do hockey trades from a losing culture unless it's stars...matthews at the deadline should bring in kings ransom..they need to trade matthews for an upcoming center like misa etc.of coarse you'd get more but it's got to involve something like that, then u tank which there doing and draft McKenna.. there's two future stars like matthews and marner were are- keep Sanford.get rid of all others for picks and draft good ol local boys..tanev retires or gets traded to a contender with retention and sweetness for an upcoming future top 4..then you hire another top scout like one of the best if not the best, with the picks you get from all the other mediocre on the team..it sell out time minus players above...suffer for two more years get a cpl high picks and things start to look up...if they wait another year or two and keep everyone and the two bums that run this team..leafs will be terrible for the next decade...with leafs not selling out lately shakeup most come now..be back in 4 5 days to give another speech when leafs flounder and berubes gone..tree will be let go summer...deboer is coming..treliving is like nonis and jfj...horrible...stay tuned...

Ummmm Washington and Tampa Bay played one way for about a decade before their captains said unless they change the way they play they aren't winning the Cup. Stamkos was very vocal about them needing to change and be more physical and in the opponents face. That came right after they won the conference in the regular season and then got blown out in the 1st round. Florida plays a Berube style of hockey.
22 Dec 2025 21:40:27
Effort in Dallas
Still lose
Fire the useless Gm and coach
Don't care
Just like the players
They don't give a crap either
22 Dec 2025 22:53:06
I really don't think Tre has done a horrible job since he started.
Defence looked worlds better last year and it's the same group, goaltending is still good, it's the stars that aren't producing (as always) . I can't blame him for that.
22 Dec 2025 20:29:35
Hearing leafs have interest in another American player in justin Faulk another st Louis blues..man i hope not, not saying he isn't good im saying that's why leafs are crap, 9 american players on there active roster, that's absurd...hockey is fixed,let's say with all the yanks, if the leads won the cup, you would hear the headlines now, toronto Americans win cup..People don't see that America has to have there stamp on everything...I so wish it was country against country all the time. Not just for the olympics..it would never be aloud tho and why that is? Well its Because canada would win majority..I heard canada and usa both this coming olympics tho...are not winning gold...it's Italy with the upset over usa, canada I guess is getting bronze...Will let usa get silver..lol

Toronto should fired Treliving and Berube.
You can't just blame the coach when the lazy GM keeps making excuses and not making trades.
Treliving thinks that the players on the Leafs are worth more than what they really are.
He hates to admit when he screws up on trades and signing, just look what happened in Calgary with the Thachuk trade.
Pelly step up and save Toronto from a riot and fire these two in charge plus the other coaches behind the bench (Savard, Van Ryan, Lalonde).
Bring in a GM who can make hard choices and trade the players that need to go, without the bull lines like,
"We're not going to make a trade for the sake of making a trade".
This coming from that Idiot we have for a GM.
Why not! Maybe just maybe it could help just shake up these lazy ass bums, so they think their next.
The big problem is the players that need to go all have no trade clauses.
HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM.
THIS IS WHY THESE person'S SHOULD BE PAID BY PERFORMANCE THEN MAYBE THEY WOULD TRY.
IF ALL LEAF FANS AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORKPLACE PERFORMED LIKE THESE BUMS WE WOULD ALL BE REPLACED!!!!
22 Dec 2025 13:30:01
Leafs got to play .674 hockey to make a wc spot, .700 plus to be a a top top3....treliving is still looking gorgeous a turn around...lol, this team had giving up on there coach for the thousandth time..im wondering who there trading..I think it's nylander, cause he's got to be why the leafs are lising, got to blame someone, marner was first, nylander second, matthews 3rd, not the captain..then after they wait till the end yo get rid of domi or maccelli, we can blame the assistant coaches, berube tree will be last..I really thought waking up berube would be gone...I haven't watched a full game this year...they got to win 12 straight for me to fo so..it's not happening..im calling for 5th last in nhl..there not making no playoffs...embarrassed
22 Dec 2025 12:57:40
If they had of played as hard as they did last night all season, they would easily be in a playoff spot and I doubt we are talking about slumps with Matthews and Nylander and those two would have probably buried some of those chances last night. They looked like a playoff team last night.
Tuesday will be very interesting. Do they play just as hard knowing that if they do, wins will come. OR, do they fold because they tried hard in a game and still couldn't get it done. Next game will either confirm what we have thought about their character or show they are willing to work hard to get out of this, (at least for a bit).
22 Dec 2025 02:10:06
Keep hearing this tank for McKenna talk from Leafs fans.
I'm not sure that's even possible. If you trade everyone and go full tank this years pick is protected, next one will not be. You might be keeping the number three and losing the 1st oa to Boston or Philly in the near future.
I'm not sure what exactly I would do to remedy this situation, but tanking cannot be on the table for 2 more years.
22 Dec 2025 11:09:52
@LL if they can secure a good prospect this year I’d be fine with it because the hope would be that it’s a one off season and then the 2028 season if your not close you can dump Matthews for a good return and the hope would be whoever you picked this year is on the team by then… it would be very unacceptable if we hand Boston a 6-10 pick if their bad this year lean into it.
22 Dec 2025 12:51:51
If tanking Matthews has to go too. Typically you're trading at least Matthews and Nylander (Rielly if possible) . Asking two of Tanev, OEL, Carlo and McCabe if they would like to go as they are going rebuild. Need to reach the cap floor and ice some vets, so Domi, Maccelli, JT, etc probably they keep.
22 Dec 2025 02:03:34
Change is coming, berube is fired, followed by gm, it's over, id keep knies,nylander,mcaabe,Tavares,Roy
Cowan,laughton, I know u guys will hate this but jarnkrok,woll,oel,mcmaan, everyone else gd bye, deadline deals for matthews is how we get max return well for everyone we get rid of, tank..Hackensack, and we're back gd in two years..I knew it..
