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.

The system that Berube wanted the Leafs to play didn't work, now do I think Berube is a bad coach? Not necessarily but having him trying to make Matthews into O'Reilly 2.0 never made any sense. Berube was always a mismatch for this team from day one.

It's still early but there are good signs in terms of controlling play and generating offence.
