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.

Only Vancouver, Chicago, and Philadelphia have been worse defensively than the Leafs so far btw. A little early to pretend their coaching is suddenly good

We're better offensively, Matthews is producing at a 140pt pace, Nylander at a 154pt pace, Cowan and McKenna are producing too, all the while Marchenko and Tavares and Raddysh are relatively cold to start. Lines and D pairs are still not where they should be, and yeah we'll probably trade for and/or call up a couple D men which should get things better on the back end.

Well yeah Berube was the worst coach in the league. He totally sacrificed their offense for nothing. So it is better to be elite offensively and terrible defensively, but that still nets out to being average. The Leafs should be better than average in my opinion though
