He was with Berube in St Louis ... His PP was 24.8% last year, 13.3% this year. Clearly, the PP coach is the whole problem

I've wondered the same thing. Another thing I've started to wonder about: Marner was apparently popular in the room. Some of his mates might be ticked off at how that all went down. Or the DNA crack taken as a snipe at their character. I'm not in the room so I have no idea.

But it is the same issue for McDavid. He wants to win a Cup. Do the Leafs give him a good shot at that? With them floundering, does anyone think that will help them land UFAs this summer or entice players to relinquish their no trade clause? Maybe it is just me but I sure don't. With Marner's...

In less than a year, like Quinn Hughes, the Leafs GM is going to go to Matthews and ask "do you want to re-sign here?" Why would Matthews stay? He's American paying CDN taxes. He wants to win a Cup. He's already starting to get ripped in the media. The team farm system is barren and draft picks...

If all teams in the original 6 had an equal chance to win a Cup (and they arguably didn't because Montreal and Toronto had territorial advantages), then each team had a 1 in 6 chance or a 16.7% chance to win a Cup each season. In a 32 team league, that drops to a 3% chance. With parity (the cap)...

I saw them win the 4 Cups in the 60s. Back then it seemed like an expected Devine right as a Torontonian that we would win our share of Cups - so we probably didn't appreciate them as much. For me, at that age, it quickly evolved to playing the game was a heck of a lot more fun than watching it...

While others will say it's one to rebuild off ... They'll probably try another coach and reassess before the deadline if they're smart ... Maybe hire a senior advisor who can step in if they want to gas Treliving ...

We need a GM with the DNA to retool/rebuild. :) I think they need a rebuild because retooling with a bunch of 30 year olds is not likely to get very far. Trade deadline prices are nuts. We know first hand from all our prospects and draft picks going for rentals. They could take their time and...

If they played like this in the prior 34 games, they wouldn't be in the spot they're in.

That'll teach them!! Berube seems like a decent man. I wonder if he feels on the edge of losing the players if he hasn't already. Thus, the short punishment. Imagine having to subject yourself to watching the replays of some of this. Yes, he's paid millions to do it but I haven't seen much in...

blogTO: Toronto Maple Leafs now have worst playoff odds of all Canadian NHL teams https://www.blogto.com/sports_play/2025/12/maple-leafs-worst-playoff-odds-canadian-nhl-teams/ https://moneypuck.com/predictions.htm These are slightly less pessimistic...

I found the loss last night harder to take. They played better than the Washington game but that isn't saying much. In recent years gone by, they would often struggle against the bottom feeders while upping their game to play the better teams. I don't have that feeling with this game. Something...

Given where they are and what we've seen, I'm fumbling for adjectives for that. Words like bizarre or surreal ... You can see Robertson is just drooling for some ice time. Like the energizer bunny, he's full tilt nearly every shift. Why not reward him in place of a floater? He's got a gun for a...

Leafs PP fell to last place in the league at 14% Of the 314 seasons including this one by teams in the league since 2016-17 (when Matthews/Marner arrived), this season so far by the Leafs would rank 12th worst (303rd of 314 team seasons in the league since 2016-17) Matthews, Nylander and...

Foolish me. I was hoping they would bounce back and beat the NHL team with the worst points win% in the league ... Starting to feel like ...

I know it is been ugly but I have to pull for them when they play. If they're not up to it, they'll take care of the losses. Go Leafs Go!!

That DNAttendan$e might bother the ML$E board more than the Washington game ....
