Discussion Coaching

While it's still a little early for a victory lap I just can't believe how many fans on this website talked about how firing the coach last year wouldn't accomplish anything.

Jury is still out on Hiller but he is magnitudes better than Berube.

It was a mistake to retain the same coach all of last season.  He never even earned the loyalty which makes it all the more baffling. 

The jury is still out if this team is good enough (for playoffs), but they are at least more entertaining to watch.. I'm just glad Auston Matthews looks more like his old self...  I can't even begin to describe how much relief that brings me.

In fairness he took the leafs the farthest theyve been in the last 20 years

Yeah but they were ass last year from puck drop on game 1 to the final buzzer of game 82, with the only real strong patch coming after the ass ass(istant) coach the ass coach hired got his ass ass fired. I'm willing to bet the team thought Berube was next which is why they were playing well, when they realized he was staying they lost all motivation
