JD - ready 2 be hurt again

Leafs fan in Van. Expect Simpsons references.

Morgan Rielly should be the first guy to raise the cup, straight up. If JT grabs it first, Mo better be the first guy he passes it to, just for putting up with this shit and willingly resigning multiple times.

We've come a long way Leafs Nation

[JD - ready 2 be hurt again @JustForLeafs]

Two ex-Leafs in the finals, considered the favourites for the Conn Smythe. Sometimes these things just seem TOO coincidental to not come off scripted.

So, when are we scheduled to win the cup?

Sincerely,
A Leafs fan who’s had enough of the pain and would love to experience joy

Nylander goal in overtime that sends Toronto to a cup final.

Wouldn’t mind seeing another one of those happen.

Maybe he’s just one of those people who perform best when they are motivated by spite

Mitch Marner, playoff goals

2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 combined: 10

2026: 10

The ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!!

Please don’t trade this gem, Leafs need more of this

[Leafslatest @Leafslatest]

Easton Cowan was pretty blunt when talking about his game and, more specifically, his turnover on the Penguins’ game-winner tonight, saying he cost the Marlies the game and promising to be better on Friday:

“Yeah, I gotta be better. It starts with me. I just cost my team the game, so I gotta be better, and I will be Friday. Like I said, it starts with me. I gotta be better, and we will be. We all will be Friday. Unfortunately, like I said, I cost my team the game. Obviously, I don’t want to do that. I gotta make a better play. I can’t do anything about it now. Gotta move on and be better.

Eh, (my game) was okay. I know I got more, so I’ll bring it Friday.”

The Vancouver Canucks, disappointed they didn’t get the first overall pick in 2026, have decided to hire Manny Malhotra as Head Coach and put themselves in a good position to get the first overall pick for 2027.

@joeyferg Never hated hockey more or wanted to watch it less than after that one.
Just abysmal and depressing.

[FlowBuds @joeyferg]

The Domi news is really unfortunate and a good reminder that back issues/surgeries are complicated and have risks. Very possible AM has been dealing with something similar and that's why he's never elected to have surgery. We should all collectively be more chill about this stuff

[Willyston Riellander @nylanderthews]

Holy shit this seems serious, really hope Domi is okay.

[JD - ready 2 be hurt again @JustForLeafs]

You, a buffoon, watching this Vegas run:

“Wow, the Leafs should go out and get a player who performs in the playoffs like this Marner guy 😂”

Me, a savant, watching this Vegas run:

“The Leafs should somehow commit tax fraud and build a team like this Vegas roster.”

[JD - ready 2 be hurt again @JustForLeafs]

So how much should I bet on the Habs sweeping the Canes?
For real lmao

[A @_knilanderthews]

3 coaches in 11 years. Majority of the teams in the league have made the same or more coaching changes

[Rad Sundin @MapleLeaves34]

The Toronto Maple Leafs make the Playoffs next year.

100% lock of the century.

Bookmark this tweet so I can say I told you so.

[JD - ready 2 be hurt again @JustForLeafs]

Of course we as fans can only speculate, but you really get the sense that the players communicated a need for change to Chayka and that’s the driving force here, or at least in conjunction with the brutal underlying stats during Berube’s tenure with the team.

[Chris Johnston @reporterchris]

Statement from GM John Chayka on the firing of Craig Berube:

[Liam @Willy4Hart]

The Tavares contract gets better and better with each passing day.

#BerubeOUT

[#HOFFMANOUT @Woll4Vezina]

Brad Treliving let Sheldon keefe be a lame duck coach who everyone and their mom knew was getting fired. Kyle Dubas allowed Mike Babcock to be a lame duck as well.

John Chayka didn’t do that. Already off to a better start than the last 2 regimes.

Very positive imo

[FlowBuds @joeyferg]

Gavin McKenna and no more terrorist dump and chase hockey. Holy hell I'm gonna be more excited for this next season than I've been for one in quite some time.

#DropThePuck

[Balo’s Mohawk @BalosMohawk]

Thank you Craig Berube for leading maybe the most ethical tank of all time and granting us the first overall pick. Rest now brother, I’ll see you in Valhalla.

[Keith @keithwhipp]

Now fucking hire someone who doesn't deploy Auston Matthews like he's Jordan Staal.

[JD Bunkis @JDBunkis]

Felt Berube took more heat for this season than he deserved, but this HAD to happen.

Team clearly needed a fresh start and a ton of evidence his team checked out on him. Guess is front office went in with an open mind and once they started talking to everyone else it was clear

[Jeff Veillette @JeffVeillette]

100% the right call. No knocks on Berube as a person, but the team's control of play had become significantly worse under his time here, with a play style that didn't fit their best players and somehow got even worse as they added more complimentary parts.
