I got to meet Antropov during his playing days at a Leafs charity event. And yes he is very tall and was very genial. At the time he had a very young child and at the end of the event he took all the balloons from the event, which were on strings. He looked like the old man from Up. He was taking the balloons home to decorate his kid's room. Everyone found this adorable.
What I like about Berube so far, during this extremely brief sample size. First, no music at practice.. no need for it.. focus and work hard. It's practice in preparation for games and it's not a goof off session. Secondly, he stated in one of his media scrums after rookie camp or one of the preseason games where he stated " they have to shoot more. Got too fancy, too pretty at times"... that's what I've been yelling at the TV for years now. Always seem to be trying for the highlight reel play. Is it going to be an instant change, absolutely not. This is going to take a little bit but these things, unfortunately, take time. It's gonna be an interesting season to say the least .. now it's going to depend on whether or not he'll stick to his guns with his no-nonse BS with some of these players.
@@Volbxso what? It was his first game as Captain. Set the pace and lead by example unless the example you want is you don’t need to try in games that you think don’t matter.
@@deltagolavista1 bro. the preseason is for figuring out the chemistry between lines and working on cohesive play. if you're treating preseason hockey like it's life or death in April you've got your priorities completely screwed up.
Fun fact: I know Dustin tokarski, great guy. Super humble, always polite and kind to those around him. We definitely aren’t friends but in the offseason I see/interact with him almost daily (I will not be elaborating out of respect for his privacy so please don’t ask)
Keefe wasnt firm enough as a coach. I think he let them get away with too much and wasn't tough enough in the locker room with the players. The way he wasn't able to shape the lines to figure out the way Boston played was the nail in the coffin. The team is going through a change up with the lines and contracts. JT and Marner up for renewal, goalies are getting better but time will tell, bringing in players who have won a cup recently will all help. I think this team is on the up and up and the goal now is to figure out how to win playoff hockey.
There is NO other coach in the NHL that would ever let his team go 1 for 20 on the PP heading into a do or die game 7, and make ZERO changes either to personnel or to the way they try and set up. I think Keefe is a smart guy and will do fine in NJ, but he had to go.
I agree with no music. These players have become too comfortable with their style. Remember Marner & Mathews singing in between whistles. That disgusted me. Practice is not a place for fun. You're there to prepare, condition and fine tune your skills. This team needs to realize, they're professionals and get paid big $$$. Every minute of their careers should be taken seriously. Do you think Punch Imlach let his teams crank up the phonograph?
calm down grandpa, that was during a game they were winning like 6-3, after a major scrum, and it was in their rookie year. if that “disgusted” you, then you’re a fairy. stick to ringette, princess.
So you cant have skill guys on the 3rd and 4th line if you do just cut them Cowan and Robertson because thats dumb the reason they lost to boston will happen again
The ONLY coach to even get a small amount of 'change' from the core-4 was Babcock....and then they fired him because he was too much of a big meanie by hurting the feelings of the core. And now we're back to the same 'Babcock era' coaching with Berube. Any thoughts on how many seasons it takes for the core to complain they don't like how mean Berube is because he's sick and tired of half-hearted efforts in close checking and playoff games?
@@jsquared1013 and you know this how exactly? From a small handful of players who's feelings were hurt he didn't give them enough ice time? Or players who he pulled aside and said ''You're not playing the position you want to play because you're not dedicated to both sides of the ice enough"? Seems Babcock was good enough to win Gold Medals, Stanley Cups, and Jack Adams awards... but hey if you say he's a bad person based on slander & sensationalized media then you must be right...
Patches looked very good, I liked Webber ,Cowan and Grebenkin for the younger guys. OEL was absolute garbage! Liljegren needs to be traded ASAP for anything !

Knies- Matthews- Domi
McMann- Nylander - Marner
Patchs - Tavares - Jarnkrok
Dewar- Kampf - Grebenkin
Rielly - Tanev
Benoit- McCabe
OEL - Hakanpaa
Good god cowan is making the team
I agree domi with Mathew’s , marner with Willy
Yea, Domi & Matthews' chemistry was ridiculous.

Love these guys but there was little to no actual evaluating the preseason lineups in this video
There's little to no actual evaluation in every video
@@brettkozak3479They try, they just aren't good at it lol. They pretty much just say whatever the common opinion at the time is.
I’ve never listened to them for actually hockey evaluations.
None of them ever watch the entire league 😂
@@JordanGidaro yeah but they should at least know about the Leafs
@@gabrielonnerfors885 oh believe me with ya, but these just aren’t hockey guys 😂
Matthews needs to own the C, that effort in OT not going to cut it. More Youth! Lower the average age of this team ASAP!
Exhibition game
@@Volbxso what? It was his first game as Captain. Set the pace and lead by example unless the example you want is you don’t need to try in games that you think don’t matter.
Agree on the effort on 3 on 3. Hopefully the new coach can fix that. They have been so lazy on 3 on 3 for way too long.

@@OlDirtyBaron so the cohesive play the Leafs are trying to achieve is mimicking pylons?
Got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Steve is right, they should try Robertson on defense.. right side of course
bold of him to say so
lmao
Is it just me or does Berube look like he was a mob boss?
Mathew's is Hurt, upper body won't play!!

Marner gets a free pass for Game 4. And we are supposed to just accept it and listen to contract talks for the entire season. Not good enough
He’s not coming back unless he takes pay cut , he’s not worth 11 never mind more then that
If these lines stay as-is, it means the Leafs are now paying $11mil AAV for a 3C 😅
Cowan and Robertson need to either fill out or grow . they look like kids
Martin Jones is great but his bones are like glass. =(
You misspelled Joseph Woll...
You misspelled Thatcher Demko...
I won’t watch pre season. Pointless to air on TV. WISH they would stop airing the PRE like the old days

Keep Bieber and media out of the dressing room! Go Leafs!
Yeah. Ottawa looked really scared. Especially on their OT winning goal.
you guys are totally dis-counting Lambert. He's the guy that will get this team going...not Berube.
Adam’s fake laugh makes this show unwatchable.
Intresting
He is unbearable isn't he
Adam is an Anchor, in a decathlon ⚓️

Berube is tough, Babcock was a shithead. Regardless of how good his "X's and O's" tactical sense was, he was an awful person.
