Hers a question I'm curious about. With the jays in a World Series first time in 32 years and the raptors winning back in 2019 does pelley stick to his word of "we are not here to sell jerseys" does berube and tre get canned what happens to this core
25 Oct 2025 21:07:31
I don't think Pelley will panic and start firing management. I think most of us see it isn't the GM or the coach that are the problem. They will give them some time to right the ship and I think Tre will get time to make deals if he feels more guys have to go.
26 Oct 2025 15:22:28
That would make sense but most franchises revert to firing the coach and or gm over holding plays accountable.
27 Oct 2025 02:27:36
@Goat if Tre and berube had been here awhile yeah. As is though, they just got here. Can't start firing yet.
25 Oct 2025 01:45:13
Leafs need woll back, stolarz isn't playing good. But the leafs are totally playing terrible...lets hope its a sign...i remember when berubes blues started the year terrible like last or something then came back to win cup...leafs minds are on bluejay games lol, only excuse i can come up with...Not!!! Leafs are starting to be in desperate mode, i knew this years team want going to be good..we need a top 6 and top YOUNG YOUNG DMAN, until these are adressed leafs will be a .400 team...i still think the might get second wc this year if they dont address there problem...but i really think leafs just arent playing, the system is failing....
25 Oct 2025 17:05:35
Shhhhh. You’re too loud. I don’t blame Stolarz on any of those goals. Terrible defensive coverage. Letting them walk over the red line and in our zone with hardly any resistance. But you can take the easy way out and blame the best goalie this team has ever had.
25 Oct 2025 19:51:11
I think we could use one or two more big saves a game from Stolarz, but as Clarky pointed out, the clean looks the opposition is getting is ridiculous. Our forwards are getting caught too deep and on the wrong side of the puck and are getting beat coming back. Many are going to blame out D-men last game, but most of those goals against were because we were outnumbered off the rush or forwards not picking up the open man because they are all chasing the puck carrier. I am pretty positive that Berube is pulling his hair out watching it unfold.
24 Oct 2025 21:31:59
Strange shi$ goes on within the leafs organization..first the mysterious injury to rielly...its bs...and now woll is coming back into preperation...he was just sick or injured, not family matters, they just didnt want the media involved ..i think woll is having to many injuries, i say build his status up then trade him...i will bet that's what there going to...
Leafs need to go after dahlin and tuch
Cowan, oel, danford robertson, woll,laughton, and a 1st. And if they need to add more so be it.
23 Oct 2025 22:26:41
Finally berube made a good coaching descion on lines, i wanted mcmaan and nylander on the first line, although knies is a #1 winger, hell balance the second line with tavares and maccelli...i like the top 6 like this, if were not gonna add, ill put money on it, that the 1st line now will be good...i just hope knies will play good on second line, i think everytime he got bumped down he didnt try as hard so they always put him back...the top 6 will be fine like this, if berube gives them time to mesh...nylander has always been a top line winger...berube just scored a point with me...he just nedds to let chemistry build...crossing my fingers but i love mcmaan next matthews...watch tmw how good that line will be...ill bet money, all 3 will score at least 1...
24 Oct 2025 14:13:58
My bet is nylander scores Matthews rips 6 off the glass mcmann isn't very noticeable. Just little bursts of speed.
24 Oct 2025 16:41:32
Need to move Maccelli. I think JT and Knies will play well together and would thrive if they had Joshua on that line. Maccelli fits nowhere. Not sure what they are seeing in this kid.
22 Oct 2025 20:50:38
Anyone have a theory on Mathews? Everyone seems to crap on Willy, but I'd say Mathews deserves it almost daily for the last 1.5 years and it's getting worse.
23 Oct 2025 11:13:40
Became captain last season. Maybe trying too hard to lead by example on the ice by playing the right way and is playing too safe.
No one is commenting on Knies either. I expected more out of him so far this season. He's kind of, just there. Doesn't look as good as last year, nevermind taken a step forward.
23 Oct 2025 11:47:30
@RLF I been thinking about Knies as well. He isn't doing anything we became accustomed to from him.
23 Oct 2025 13:58:38
IMO it shows how important Marner was to both the line and team!
I agree that Marner was a whiner but I never thought he gave up OR give a full effort unlike Nylander.
Marner, with his speed and puckhandling skills, drove that line.
While it’s still early I see a lot of problems, effort and puck (mis) management being the most obvious.
I was looking just yesterday at the idea of trading our “elite-status” Matthews! What could we get for him? I’d take two star NHL players and a 1st and 2nd pick in ‘26.
LAK Byfield and Clarke come to mind. LAK wants to win now before Doughty and Kopitar move on.
23 Oct 2025 17:11:03
@Randy as I have been saying for years though, Kapanen and Johnson were Mathews' linemates at points. Guys that aren't even 4th liners on most teams and he was still dominant.
Even if Mathews doesn't get back to 69g he needs to at least look like he gives a rubbish.
23 Oct 2025 19:07:26
My theory is his body isn't keeping up and he's constantly fighting injury. Nothing feels right and he can't just power through it the way you can when you're younger.
I very much hope I'm wrong but I think we see a regular regression with Matthews unless he takes a year off to heal.
23 Oct 2025 20:00:28
LL. I agree. For instance, Bunting only played two seasons with the Leafs and I think has the 6th or 7th most assists on Matthews goals. Bunting's seasonal point totals continue to drop and it seems no team wants to keep him. I don't buy the whole it's because Marner is gone either. He isn't really playing very well. Simple as that. Many guys on the team aren't.
They have showed some new look lines at practice that are more like what I would like to see. As I said a while ago, they need a guy to carry the puck through the neutral zone on Matthews line and Willy makes the most sense. McMann on that line is what I wanted to see in pre-season. JT, Knies and Maccelli makes sense to me. Joshua, Roy and Cowan sounds good and then Lorentz, Domi and Jarnkrok as a 4th line. Robertson out. All makes sense to me.
23 Oct 2025 20:56:09
I mean Matthews isn't playing well, not Marner.
22 Oct 2025 01:44:37
I csnt believe the fans on this site with there garbage proposals, absolute garbage still trying to change the bottom 6...u guys no nothing about hockey...its tree and berube and the whole staff...garbage...this team needs now to sell off sll parts....cause they clearly dont have what it takes to win..get rid of cowan and danford already...we need a top 6 player...carlo is horse rubbish been saying it since we signed him...tanev is a geezer who is gonna be washed up...matthews dont know how to lead...he clearly does not fit this system...we need to go back to the old ways at least it was fun...losing culture, im embarrassed
23 Oct 2025 17:40:32
Getting rid of Danford would be a very bad move IMO.
I would however consider the right return for Cowan; someone that makes a difference NOW because the Leaf window is ONLY 1-2 years.
20 Oct 2025 17:43:16
How does everyone feel about Stolarz's comments? Freddy used to do this, now Stolarz is.
He's been stellar imo and I'm sure he's said it in private many times.
Everyone points to Mitch leaving, but this team looks as lost as they always do at times. I don't think Mitch made a difference.
Mitch, who is actually doing well in Vegas. Which I see as something to do with a lot less pressure. Wouldn't be surprised if he had a great playoffs as well after going to a much more relaxed market.
20 Oct 2025 20:01:48
I am glad Stolarz said something. He is showing leadership compared to "We are all trying our hardest out there", even when it is obvious they are not. Nice to see a guy on the team that is willing to say what we all have seen.
Hopefully it wakes some guys up. Berube is starting to call guys out as well.
Season has started boys. Time to wake up and play like it means something. I do wonder if they aren't still fighting playoff games 5 and 7 demons for how they performed so poorly.
21 Oct 2025 20:43:29
I also support what he said.
The Leafs are playing slow and soft and mismanaging the puck. They need to step it up; the road might help them!
On another note, I don’t think Cowan is ready so I’d send him to the AHL.
21 Oct 2025 22:17:01
@Randy i have liked a lot of things about Cowan, but would most likely agree. He looks very rough around the edges.
22 Oct 2025 01:25:53
At what point do the leafs not put a bit of pressure on woll I mean I get it he’s dealing with personal issues but everyone does and my fear with stollie is by the time woll gets back stollie might be toast physically and mentally.
19 Oct 2025 22:13:35
Leafs cannot wait till trade deadline to add top winger and offensive dman...i knew tree and berube would screw this team up...u cant have defensive players that dont put up points...they messed this teams chemistry up, there mental state...and i think they wont add anything...we need to do everything and whatever it takes to add...i believe cowan, danford, woll ,carlo,joshua,maccelli, should be in play...dont get rid of jarnktok,mcmaan, domi, robertson you only trade for a player in a 1 for 1 situation where the player is just as good and in the same situation, u got yo win a trade not lose, a pick would be a loss..leafs need tuch and dahlin...give them whatever it takes...fawk the future go for it all, if they lose, u trade everyone and start over, cause if u dont do it this way, once the leafs are on downward spiral, its gonna be a horrible frustating 10 years that follow...2 ptospects arent gonna cut it talking about cowan and danford...there are best but there not top tier..danford #4 at highezt ceiling...and cowan a second line einger at top ceiling...so trade em...leafs fail this season...everyone should be in play to get rid of...except, knies, tavares, nylander, stolarz, rielly, mcmaan, roy, mcabe..
20 Oct 2025 12:15:14
What difference does an offensive D make exactly?
19 Oct 2025 22:10:24
Truthfully I think the leafs went overkill on the big power forwards I think it's left them in desirable in many ways Joshua being exhibit A all I heard was that this guy plays a heavy game and uses his size etc haven't seen it.. I for the life of me don't understand berube sticking with domi up the middle he hasn't looked bad but that line is not good together. last nights game they looked like they were skating in quick sand a lot of gliding and the blue line has been terrible turn over after turn over Reilly might put up 10-15 goals this year but the 5 turnovers a game have to stop and lastly move Cowan down the lineup he's been ok but berube clearly doesn't fully trust him put him on the third line move domi up and tell Matthews he needs to start creating his own chances this team is better than they've shown imo I just do t understand why the lineup is constructed the way it is
19 Oct 2025 22:52:43
Cowan needs to marinate in the AHL at present; he’s not ready!
20 Oct 2025 02:40:25
I really liked Joshua these past few games. He is getting the puck down low and wining puck battles. I se him start to come around. Power forwards are the ones who will up their game come playoffs. Roy and Joshua are solid pick ups.
20 Oct 2025 13:57:24
Time to move the lines around imo. Want to send a message - put the 2nd PP out to start any Powerplays. Sit Willy or whoever for a shift or two when they won't battle.
Joshua Matthews Nylander
Knies JT McMann
Lorentz Roy Maccelli
Blais Domi Jarnkrok
Let Cowan watch a game or two and learn or send him down to get bigger minutes. Robertson should sit, he had a wide open net and couldn't bury it. He has to bury his chances if he wants to stay in the lineup.
19 Oct 2025 17:52:58
This would’ve my message sending lineup for next game:
Joshua Matthews Robertson
Knies JT McMann
Lorentz Roy Nylander
Blais Domi Jarnkrok
Sends a message to every line except JT Knies and McMann, IMO the three most consistent forwards this year so far. So reward them by putting them with the other guys who give AF. Matthews needs to figure this out. Some games 8 shots other games he isn’t even one of our top 5 forwards (in regards to being noticeable) . Willy needs an early season wake up call. Get off your YouTube channel and start battling on the defensive side of the puck.
Maccelli needs to sit. Everyone knows I don’t like this pick up and he is making me look smart last game was one of the first times I thought Cowan looked timid. That’s my reason for the lineup and sitting those two.
Lastly, I’d swap OEL and Carlo. The big guy hasn't looked good as I’ve stated in previous posts. He isn’t playing with that desire that he had in Boston. I know it’s early and I’m not panicking, I just thought we would see more of a DNA change by this point. Looks like different names playing the same game.
19 Oct 2025 18:40:52
I get the frustration as they have good stages where they play well and then all of a sudden, are getting outplayed badly.
But C'mon, Robertson gets promoted to play with Matthews? What has Robertson done to stay in the lineup? Miss a wide open net? If we can't use Maccelli, we can't use Robertson either.
I agree with you on how Carlo has looked so far.
19 Oct 2025 21:18:58
Is it a promotion? I’d rather play with JT and Knies.
19 Oct 2025 21:29:02
I'd press box Mathews and Willy for a game. This team goes no where with how they are playing.
19 Oct 2025 22:01:55
Clarky. lol. Maybe atm it isn't.
Although I am still going to suggest that this has something to do with you wanting Robertson to get a top 6 role. Unless you are also saying the new Matthews line will have its ice time extremely cut.
Robertson had his wide open chance last night and whiffed. Pretty hard to justify giving him more minutes after that and the 1 pt in 5 games. But, if it happens, I hope he lights it up.
20 Oct 2025 02:35:22
I’m not a Robertson fan. I was on the trade him train all summer. But I think he deserves a chance over some of the other guys. Let him play with too guys now to see what f he can elevate his game, if not trade him. IMO.
@LL love to see a serious message sent early in the season and not let this carry on. Never gonna sit them but I think a line jumbling will get the point across.
20 Oct 2025 13:52:49
Maybe you are not a Robertson "fan" Clarky, but you have been promoting pretty hard on giving him a chance in the top 6. What does he do though that Maccelli doesn't is my point. Maccelli has some nice shifts and makes some nice plays, but can also look out of place at times. Same with Robertson imo.
Anyhow, I am all for changing the lines, but I would put Matthews and Nylander together as I have said before.
Joshua Matthews Nylander
Knies JT McMann
Lorentz Roy Maccelli
Blais Domi Jarnkrok.
20 Oct 2025 15:18:21
They have been putting Matthews and Nylander together quite a bit. Cowan split the games with Willy up there did it last years too. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve never seen Matthews and Nylander put out together on a 5 on 5 situation and actually score. Problem is they are both playing like soft pansies right now. Doesn’t matter who is on the that line.
Robertson has way more offensive upside than Maccelli. All Maccelli has is a quick spin back move and then he keeps turning the pucks over around the blue lines. Can’t score, no battle away from the puck, not very good defensively. Not saying Robertson is a stud but he is an improvement in any category over Maccelli. Just admit he was a mistake. Too many of ye same type of forwards.
20 Oct 2025 16:42:06
Leafs traded a 3rd round pick for a guy that has averaged 47 pts a season in Maccelli. Hardly gave up much to get him. How is that move a mistake 6 games in? He is on the last year of a $3.4M contract and Leafs had the cap space. Low risk move. It's not like any of the new guys are seeing much leadership to go off of from the "stars" in Toronto.
20 Oct 2025 17:44:37
Now we are going to need that space to bring in a real top 6F. Domi hasn’t really been given a chance up on that line yet and want to see what he can do when Laughton gets back. I agree about the lack of leadership RN. Depends who you are looking at I guess. Knies should be the leader in this team. Always does the right things and works hard. Put the C on him and let the guys follow.
20 Oct 2025 19:55:52
I think what they need is more buy in, not more players. I know I am one of the few who believes this, but I don't think it's a lack of talent issue. With Matthews, Nylander, Jt, Knies and a secondary cast of guys like McMann, Domi, Roy, Joshua etc, they should be a good team. They just aren't playing well enough for a full 60.
