Edmonton is the underdog in these playoffs, they might surprise some people.

[@ryantobin1007]

Dallas put down two Mammoths... Skinners going to need to play out of his mind imo

[@DharmYogi]

Skinner is the only problem with That team. He can never play consistently

[@ToddEdmondson]

@@DharmYogi Especially if he faces a team that can shoot the puck at the net

[@johnsummerhill8323]

Bettman will sink the Oilers.

[@gojakeog]

Thats where captain picard comes in ​@@DharmYogi

[@pjmmaloney4458]

Treliving always seems to get the guys he wants. Interesting track record developing

[@Brandon18374]

I hope berube kicks out the music DJ in the practice facility first day!

[@mattlovespeebee]

Put Marner in the press box until he plays ball to do what’s best for the team

[@EnglishFuture-xg1gw]

in 2018!!!!

[@Capo51]

Thank U 4 interesting podcast 👍. With Berube, if changes needed are done in roster, there is the window open to succeed better in play offs in future. But.. Maple Leafs are still far from winning the Stanley Cup. There are so many good teams around in coming years. Most of them dont get weaker, but stronger.

[@StoneMason103]

Just make versteeg a co host already

[@4602experience]

Is it too late to hold these players accountable? Was the window to do this 1-2 years ago?

[@joncakefilm]

Not weird! It’s Deja Vu all over again.

[@djdemers8709]

Never a talk about Hilderbeast man o man Woll #1 sign another backup or 2 like Jones or somebody else and play Hilderbeast a few games in the first 15 and see... Leafs have never had a young giant buck like him....look at his Marlies stats? and he just got to North American give this kid a chance this yr!!

[@larrydacunha1459]

Who were they were talking about? The guy who got drafted and then wanted to leave right away? They talk about it right around the 19 minute mark

[@jkb462]

Berube is not a hiring by Leafs it’s a coronation…The messiah has been found. The kingdom has a new ruler. The waters will part for all to be set free…Hallelujah! This is Hockey Toronto in 2024…Can I get a witness!

[@DogoodPOG]

👍

[@MrJabez89]

Leafs fans are hyping themselves up into disappointment with this guy.

[@Zepie]

I didn't hear Berube -- or any other Leaf brass -- say anything about resetting the culture. All they say is how great their current players are...

[@stephyhaappy]

he's not going to come in to the Toronto media and immediately rip the players apart lol.

[@GoodToBeGold08]

A lot of things will be done behind closed doors. You won’t know. But hopefully it inspires this team

[@JohnAntonis-tf9ke]

WOW what incredible radio show and on KZbin . All they answered are done bye both of you that is right and need to be fixed for the Toronto Maple Leaf . Both of you nail it . What bother me every year is that radio and tv sports channel know what need to be right for they Leafs . The management just never get it right all they year. Leafs owners should hire radios and tv sports channels run the Leafs everything we fall in the right places because you guys say everything with understanding that all are right in Toronto on the Leafs 💙💙💙🏒🥅💙💙💙🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@giacintomatera9345]

JD I like Berube but you’re gonna tell me that Carolina who doesn’t like to pay for anything and still hasn’t signed Rod, Toronto who has all the $ and you can spend anything you want on staff, you offer Rod 1.5 times to double what he’s making now , you still think he’s a Carolina guy or will he go coach in TO,,, Berube is good but I do believe Brind’amour is elite,,,

[@seangaudet4742]

Why so much pressure on Marner to waive his NMC, why not Johnny.

[@StoneMason103]

Because nobody wants Johnny as much as Marner and we’re desperately hoping he takes a Spezza or Gio contract on his next one

[@jackuzzi5251]

Tell Marner to stop being Matthews feed man for 11 mill a year.

[@gojakeog]

Edmontons defence is better than torontos

[@Nanook6]

I hate the Leafs but even I felt depressed for you and had to turn this off after 20 minutes😂 Wow. What a disaster.

[@Kwolf1]

Lol Berube isn’t going to change anything 😂

[@Imnotactuallyadrinker]

You are saying that while rooting for a basement team hilarious

[@Kwolf1]

@@Imnotactuallyadrinker won more rounds in 2021 than Leafs have in 20 years 😂 enjoy your low draft picks and first round exits. Btw Habs longest playoff drought is 3 seasons. Hb the Leafs? 😂

[@tomxynis4017]

Dallas will win in 6 take that to the bank

[@user-xv1ym6rg6i]

Wow, bumkiss thrashed versteeg and then he had quite the about face in commentary

[@EnglishFuture-xg1gw]

are berube and the oilers playing the stars? lmfao.

[@ralliartstyle]

What a joke of a header and thumbnail… who cares about the leafs!!!FR

[@Imnotactuallyadrinker]

You cared enough to watch lol

[@stephyhaappy]

why are you here then?

[@Gotcha74]

Loser

[@ralliartstyle]

@@Imnotactuallyadrinker really!!??? You can confirm that I watched this? Amazing.

[@ralliartstyle]
