@@aidynoshea7002He did obviously but he admitted he had to be careful with the way we spoke to Marner and Matthews because the last time he called them out (the same way Chief did) he hurt their feelings and had to clarify what he meant by what he said
The pure shock of the trainers hearing berube talk to Austin that way shows it's not something he's used too or past coaches have done with him. Good for chief.
not much he can do with a bunch of overpaid coach killers. I'm just curious as to when Berube is going to insert Marner, Matthews and Rielly into the lineup this season.
@@theadventuresofjimmycrapol8827 sadly that's become the environment of the modern NHL. A bunch of primadonnas that get coaches fired because of their feelings. I'm not saying go out there as a coach and act like Mike Keenan but Chief is not Keenan.
@@carl5381Berube is tough but he is fair and expects accountability out of all of his players and has zero tolerance for laziness or lack of effort. Unfortunately the players on Berube’s current team probably think that’s more than a coach should be asking out of his players which is where the problem lies.
not in a city like Toronto.......they don't need to win a cup......the arena is always full.....even when they lose.....so management knows they don't have to win one leafs fans are the most delusional fans I've ever met ........really optimistic people.....
Blues fan here, Chief was always a menace behind the bench. Even in Philadelphia as an assistant, he'd go off on his stars like Giroux and Briere. He didn't let anyone off the hook especially during the cup final against Boston. He'd berate the Blues till it hurt but you would still see the genuine care he has for his players. Y'all got a good coach and I miss him. That's for sure
As a Flyers fan I remember the Flyers firing their coach after a 0-3 start and Berube came up from coaching the Phantoms and managed to save the season and clinch a playoff spot. Chief was never afraid to call out star players and held everyone to the same standard. He got a good bit of criticism in Philly but his tenure was during a baaadd period of time for the Flyers.
@@impulse_xs It's because he played in an era of the NHL where coaches didn't care how big of a star you where. If you screwed up you got an ear full. Most coaches today aren't like that anymore. Maurice is the same way. He started coaching for the Whalers so you know he's been around doing this same thing for a while.
@@brianlb78 Yup Maurice is another one for sure. Same with Gerard Gallant. No BS no mind games like Keenan or Babcock. Just brutal honesty and clear expectations. Those are the kind of coaches who can be hard asses that you want to go to battle for as a player. If the stars on Toronto can’t handle that, they’ve got bigger problems than coaching tbh.
It's hilarious how you pay them soooo much for nothing in return and destroy your team cap so you can'tsign any real depth at all and none of you can figure this out. 😂😂😂
During the cup year, Chief laid in to Pietrangelo for being lazy during the last 5 seconds of the period. All for the cameras to see. No one gets a free pass from Chief. You Leafs fans are gonna love him!
Just don't like Matthews response. You want a fiery response, like, either "yeah, goddamn I f'd up" or "shut the f up coach". Something to show some passion. By just turning away from it and basically ignoring it, that shows complacency and disinterest. "Yeah, I don't care", basically.
And on ANOTHER goal where he did NOTHING to try and prevent it, net front, he's been like that his WHOLE career, you ain't winning NOTHING with him!!!!! A Frank J. Selke RUNNER UP??!!!
As a Blues fan we loved this guy! Told it like it was, held the high end guys accountable and always seemed to have the pulse of the room. From the comments i see here about the core 4, those guys are in for a culture shock with Chief in the building. Unless its against the Blues, I hope it works out
Since the era of Marner and Mathew started in Toronto, one comment from a teammate sticks out more than any other incident. The most respected leadership player the Leafs had skating with them in this time period was Ryan O'Reilly. When O Reilly was pressed he gave the standard media answer more opportunity, his relationship with owners and Barry Trots.. ect. But his closest friends told a different story. Keep in mind he is a captain of a Stanley Cup winning team. His friends said he told them he wanted to win and the Leafs will never win because of two players. Two selfish players hmmmm.. I just hope they aren't quitting on Berube already like they did with Babcock after he refused to play Mathews and Marner on the same line. Berube style is definitely going to take some individual points away. Its just a though, t I dont even know if O Reilly was referring to these two. However it is an interesting one.
The problem wasn't Babcock, or Sheldon Keefe and it's not Berube. It's the core 4 - always has been. If they were each making about $7 or $8 Million per season it wouldn't be an issue because they'd have a better / deeper team. They are paid as if they already won 2 or 3 cups - they can't even get out of the first round (btw - Tampa Bay beat themselves 2 seasons ago with horrible goaltending)
Tf do you mean they haven’t gotten past the first round? They literally did exactly that 2 seasons ago and no the lightning definitely did not beat themselves they choked that series and they choked hard. Games 3 and 4 were theirs to win being up 2-1 and 4-1 respectively and instead folded like a lawn chair
You got that right. Leafs Nation is forever looking for a coach that would motivate the Leafs. Unfortunately, that coach does not exist. After management gets over the honeymoom phase Berube will go the way of Keefe, Babcock and previous coaches. Leafs always take the players' side.
@@KOODA86 Wrong - Vasilevsky couldn't stop a beachball that playoff. .875 save pct. EIGHT SEVENTY FIVE. If he manages just a slight improvement of .890 - still not good, but Tampa Bay wins the series easily. You don't pay guys over $10M to lose every year unless the opposition has a save pct of .875 Tampa beat themselves.
@@KOODA86 nah they lost hedman and cernak and vasilevsky played like garbage. leafs got lucky. they weren't even playing well. needed a miracle 4-1 comeback. then got smoked by florida. and i say that as a leafs fan of 30 years.
@@KOODA86they did that 2 seasons ago and you leafs fans call that an accomplishment? for 10M+ yearly?😂😂😂😂 what a joke, they need to get out of the round after that, then after that to win the cup and thats what contending teams are after. No other contending team is actively struggling to get out of the first round as much as the leafs😂😂
Should show the coach some more respect and look at him when he’s yelling at you. These guys get paid without showing anything. The city will never win anything because we praise them like they’ve done it already
"Praise them like they've done it already" is right. Leaf fans were praising the team like they were a conference finals lock after the Tampa game where Vasi had a huge stinker.
make these players accountable, mathews should stop focusing on his pregame clothes and actually make decent plays, i aint leaf fan anyway, these leaf coaches have never game mathews an earfull
Wonder how long it will take for the country club members to tire of a coach who demands accountability and hard work. My guess is it’s already happening, soon stories will pop up from “sources” saying the players are tuning out the message. The “experts” will start saying you can’t treat this group of superstars like …gasp..hockey players.
the problem with the leafs is the fact that the top players are cry babies. you can tell from his face that he wasnt expecting that response at all. marner cant handle shit like that either. AM34 is torontos golden child but unfortunately him and everybody else play for personal accolades and thats about it.
Also Buchnevich was outnumbered in the corner and gassed at the end of his shift and still won that battle against Matthews. All I can say to Leaf fans is to enjoy that Matthews Rocket Richard trophy because with that level of compete that’s as much silverware as your going to get this year.
Look at Matthews' facial expression. He's already tuned Berube out. The captain has tuned out the coach. He's got that look that says I'll still be here long after you are gone. He knows that contract will pay out whether he's sitting on the bench or not.
Coaches are supposed to find the root cause of a breakdown. This whole play is on woll. He does not make good decisions with the puck, mccabe is lucky he was able to make that pass to matthews that he wasn't expecting at all.
In one ear and out the other. He completely ignored the coach because he’s un-coachable, un-tradable and if you sit him things will only get worse as their salary cap hits have left the team with absolutely no depth, that is, no competition to keep the core honest. What a joke.
In the end of the day it will be who the franchise values most... the coach or the player. Although coach is right... if this happens again I can see Berube looking for work.
I said it years ago leafs will never win a cup with matthews, marriner and nylander. Big contracts, fancy clothes but no grit when it counts. Prove me wrong leafs.
Yea, the Leafs arent on vacation liek they been for 8 years. this is an actual coach who holds players accountable.
you think keefe didnt hold them accountable ? lol
@@aidynoshea7002 no, not the extent it needs to be done. You can tell with Matthews face expression. I don’t think he was ready for all that

not much he can do with a bunch of overpaid coach killers.

lol yeah. should give up hockey and go party with drake and berber in between fashion shows. he doesn't look manly in those clothes.
but he dresses so nice with his purse and earrings
he is a CLOWN and he can no longer HIDE

bingo

Yup ... remember all that talk about getting rid of one or two of the core four after the Leafs playoff exit last season. Pure BS. Nothing's change.
It wasn't just the 4. Most of the team played bad. The lines aren't working but Bruebe won't switch things up

Lmaooooo yeah that’s what I see too, I feel like he got flashbacks
Thats your captain laughs

This announcer is a goof
Mike Johnson is a clown
Finally the coach the Leafs need. Hold this team accountable.
i love it. Berube winning the room, and Matthews coasting again. I think it will be a long year.
Mathews learning those moves from William Bystander.
The trainer needs to put boxes of tissues on the bench for the tears. "My coach yelled at me!" Good luck Berube

Biggest mistake making him captain.. -4 last night

as long as they pay him his 14M LOL
the expression you're looking for is 'couldn't care less'
COULDN'T care less.
Matthews not Mathews
Insider Friedman going to suspect things aren't good between Berube and Matthew's now
Well, Mathews can’t use the I’ll go to Arizona excuse anymore. Face it, he’s a defensive liability.
@BpLavoieYou are so delusional it’s almost sad, but it’s still funny watching you cope and cry year after year after year
Rogers/MLSE does not care about winning.
Mathews just becomes captain last year scored 70 plus goals the coach does this he nuts for sure
"If Montgomery can do it so can I...... Wtf was that Am34"??
According to Matthews (post-game interview), he doesn't remember what Craig said...
lol captain
What's all those confused guys behind the player's bench doing anyway?
Man when Berube yells at you, run!
ohoh Barube, dont critisize AM. Austons friends in the media will write "he wants out of Toronto" very soon
8 games in and leafs fans are already losing their marbles trying to hit the big red button
Well this is gonna end badly
make these players accountable, mathews should stop focusing on his pregame clothes and actually make decent plays, i aint leaf fan anyway, these leaf coaches have never game mathews an earfull
Careful Craig, you're going to piss off the millionaires, then you'll be gone, and we're still stuck them. Same old pattern over and over.
See how Matthews ignored him? Just looked at Berube and looked away.
Matthews earned that. Good on Berube. Coach also didn't get carried away.
That trainer actually looked to me to be saying to himself "look at this toxic MF'er talking to these sweet sweet boys so harshly".
Dude ain't captain material!

Did Marner play tonight?
First time he’s ever been spoken to like that in his life. How dare he!!!
How dare he, omg Mathews is a star. Doesn't Berube know that?
Berube hasn't quite figured out how things work in Leafsland.
Matthews will critique coach on his fight with lyndon byers
Mathews not a captain
Not even a MAN, hes a SOY BOY
@BpLavoie worst captain in leafs history and he is useless in playoffs he should be traded him and marner two babies
old retired fighter-player berube showed here some passion like its okay because passion always has been part of the ice hockey.
Wow Robertson is not the only punching bag. LOL
Well deserved grilling, Matthews played pattycake with the puck for no reason and lost it and the Blues scored
Matthews body language says some bad things about this team and his 'leadership'
The core no like mean coaches and have to check?
Berube will be gone before Matthews ...
I'm a huge Leafs fan. The Fab Four need this type of talk. These guys need accountability and to play hard for each other
That’s why I love the Beurbe signing a coach that will yell and make sure his team will not play soft like they have for the last 57 years
Oh boy don’t hurt his feelings
If there's one thing you don't do, it's talk back to a dude who once had 338 penalty minutes in one season.
I really hope this isn’t for nothing, I want to see this team evolve during the season, cause what we got right now just isn’t good enough.
Handled that puck like a beer leaguer.
Matthews will be begging for a trade before the season is over.
the problem with the leafs is the fact that the top players are cry babies. you can tell from his face that he wasnt expecting that response at all. marner cant handle shit like that either. AM34 is torontos golden child but unfortunately him and everybody else play for personal accolades and thats about it.
I bet that locker room after the Columbus game was crazy. They looked dead that night.
Ain't easy being a Leaf Captain...
Love it
Vent post appreciated
Getting beat by a guy that just switched to center late last season.
Also Buchnevich was outnumbered in the corner and gassed at the end of his shift and still won that battle against Matthews. All I can say to Leaf fans is to enjoy that Matthews Rocket Richard trophy because with that level of compete that’s as much silverware as your going to get this year.
You would think the Leafs would be motivated to beat Berube's old team. Disappointing.
Roflmfao 😂
"this is not the playoffs, why can't you play?"
@BpLavoie and it worked, here you are crying at someone else's opinion. 🤣🤣
Matthews and Mitchy are only good at playing x-box .No heart at all.
That is not how a captain should behave like, giving Matthews the C was a big mistake...
Oh yeah ! Yell at me ill show you minus 3 -Austin Mathews

Let's be honest, I don't think we can win with this guy until he cares more about the game than the lifestyle.
Matthews is on pace for 6 goals.

Coaches are supposed to find the root cause of a breakdown. This whole play is on woll. He does not make good decisions with the puck, mccabe is lucky he was able to make that pass to matthews that he wasn't expecting at all.
Lets change the goalie every fkin game...that works every year
I bet conversations are being had behind closed doors of what changes will need to be made... Deadline will be interesting this year.

I think Mitch is crying again, for his big sister.
Best thing about this is I like Canada's chances way more at the four nation cup!!
the puck is in the left D corner...and Marner is effing floating outside the zone on the right wing....that is the NHL ...sad
and this is why the leafs will win the cup this year...
Won't matter, they will still be out in the first round...
You are in good hands Leafs.
Grills? Hardly
Don’t mess with “Chief” !!
Is it just me or had Berube already aged from the stress of being a Leafs coach!
In the end of the day it will be who the franchise values most... the coach or the player. Although coach is right... if this happens again I can see Berube looking for work.
