If they keep firing the coach, they’ll keep winning

UG / JFJ are the same. Both are eloquent yet static in their argument. He believes the D should be upgraded (which is fair) and the team needs more physicality and so on. He's a traditionalist. This team is not traditional, so it creates conflict.

Cherry Skoal is far more vulgar and offers little in value other than wanting physical play.

Cherry Skoal also threatens to punch people in the thread. He wanted to fight Lums, then there was that debacle a couple of nights ago.

don't think they are the same... UG is something that rhymes with "boron"

I missed that... was it similar to when Burke threatened to fight Lowe?
were they getting a barn or other building?

Most noticable difference for players TOI is all the defensemen were more evenly used. It was refreshing to see some minor in game shuffling too.

Watched the game in person tonight. Ceci is even worse in person. Something is definitely up with Reilly too, there was times it looked like he could barely skate.

No, at a bar. I’m assuming Cherry would be the one tool wearing a Tapout tank top.

I'm going with same person based on same writing style, some persistence, same lack of acquiescence when discussing a topic, and same excellent vocabulary and grammar.

The thing is that JFJ hadn't had time to tick people off, but it was similar:

State an opinion.
Run into opposing viewpoints.
Simply dismiss opposing viewpoints despite excellent positioning - rather than discuss. Restate opinion.

Day 2, repeat.

It's not like we wouldn't all have loved Pietrangelo on the Leafs, but the acquisition cost and future cap cost would be too prohibitive, but that was never going to sink in.

i was asleep because I’m going to play real hockey this morning.👍🏿

how did they look?

we’ll see what happens when they come up against a team with some grownups on the ice like the isles or bs🤦‍♂️

I predict another bend over dry fcucking🤦‍♂️

Easy schedule ahead except from Colorado (x2) and St Louis.
End Nov and December loaded with bottom dwellers.
Of course - Keefe and Dubas will be tagged as hockey geniuses.

January is different - if they can get more than 10 points out of 10 games (they play NYI, Wpg 2x, Florida, Nsh, Dallas and a few other teams) I'm willing to buy into the hype.
Until then, let's not get over excited.

Last game - all of a sudden Andersen can make a stop; seems like he had a really good game there.

Good to see the Leafs start on a positive note with the new coach though - would be nice to see Leafs in the playoffs.

"I think we're ready for something else, for a different vibe, to find some energy in ourselves, and I thought that was the right plan. We're gonna make it the right plan. We're ready today to come out with some new energy and really find ourselves."

"The boys wanna play for him [Keefe]. I think he lets us play to our skill, and that's exactly what we need."

Travis Dermott pre-game interview, for anyone wondering what the player think about the change. But what would they know, eh Max?

A couple of nice pick-ups here from the game:

https://twitter.com/mostl...tatus/1197709671295049728

- A decrease in dump and chase (Nylander and Spezza are gonna love this)

- Lots more o-zone movement and fluidity.


The defense is gonna take some work (certainly more than one morning skate), but I'm really excited to see what the offense can do with a few tweaks like those noted above

playoff probability

went up from 19.8% to 23.9%

Playing players to their strengths, who'd have thought that would be a good idea.

Grand over-sweeping generalizations!

Auston Matthews on Sheldon Keefe: "Really passionate. He wants us to utilize our skill-sets, he wants us to play free & not that it's a free-for-all for everybody, but he wants us to compete & utilize the God-given talents that we have .... hopefully we can build on this"


Reading all the player comments from last night they’re excited

It's some galaxy brain poop, that's for sure

Remember when everyone disagreed with me on how bad Babcock was? I was way ahead of the curve. People jumped on my bandwagon late.

Not using Tyson Barrie on 1st unit PP was INSANE. It makes no sense with the PP struggling so much.
