Core 4 No More: The Motherfucking Off-Season Thread

OMG on the radio they are saying Berube will teach physicality and hard work in the playoffs. Yes, they are STILL doing this.
Goals...Goals???
 
With a goalie, and a functioning PP the Leafs might still be playing. Hopefully the new coaching staff can get that PP rolling again.

Watching teams like Carolina, Tampa, Florida who don't feel like they are out of the game if they are down 1 or 2 goals because of the confidence that they can pull their goalie with a couple minutes left and tie it up.
 
Getting offense from D is the low hanging fruit for this team.

Tre knows that and tried to catch a falling knife with Klingberg.

Guys like Matthews, Marner and Willie command so much attention, it affords their D considerable space but unfortunately most of them are crosschecking shot blockers
 
Thats not really what Berube said though. He said he doesn't give a fuck about past years, and he wants his team to outwork the other team and play fast, north hockey. And he specifically said that he doesn't need players to run guys through the boards, or fight because the game has changed.

It wasn't a Burkie 2010 presser.

The funny thing is he caught a falling knife buy paying him #3/4 money. Falling knives are supposed to be cheap reclamation projects, not the big offseason splash!

Next time he needs to target a guy who can defend too. None of this one-way shit. They already have one of those in the top 4, no room for another. The rest of the d corps was one-way on the other end of the spectrum, which doesn't worth either.

He’s not going anywhere.

They’re not going to be so bold to even ask him to waive. They have a Matthews problem if they trade Marner. They also would have a Marner problem- he’d torch them and win cups on another team.

Thank heavens for NMCs to save us from pizza driven blunders.
