Budreau? Too many cooks in the kitchen? Let them write their own cheques and tell ‘em they have to work together: good cop, bad cop, X’s and O’s, motivator etc. Of course, this ain’t happening with that greedy fuck in charge and because it’s #Leafs. But a man can dream… 17/17.

Have no captain until someone deserves it. Get rid of the cancer Mo Rielly! Get Chief assistants who know how to adjust in game, who will allot icetime based on compete level and performance, not contract value, who run their locker room like a boss. Torts? DeBoer? Gallant? 16/

Add instead of subtracting. Make Tre an assistant who sits on the phone, builds relationships and knows the layout of the land to a GM who has the guts and wisdom to make hockey trades and task him with rebuilding this team from the net out. Build culture of accountability. 15/

But the guys with brains got let go when the first baby (Dubas) cried. And here we are. I think it’s time to clean house. Fire Pelly and bring in someone with a hockey brain to re-constitute the front office and the coaching staff. 14/

He was paid to do everything but put the puck in the net and he did it. He was never the problem on the ice. He was their best player. His ego and greed were the problem. Same problem as Matthews has. And Willy. But greed and ego can be good. When you know how to use them. 13/

Probably not. They can’t even stay healthy and everyone knows that #Leafs are only going as far as 88 and 34 can take them. And that’s never been farther than 2nd round. And that was with Mitch. Who they miss sorely because this team was built around Mitch and his skillset. 12/

D’s improved but the cancer Mo is still there and the ‘good’ are only as good as their health permits. And any fool could’ve known that Carlo and Tanev aren’t going to stay heatlhy. Maybe Chief and his leadership group in Tanev, Laughton, McCabe & OEL can rally the troops. 11/

GM and coach who are afraid to offend Morgan Rielly by sitting him after he’s costing us points on nightly basis, who treat failed stars with velvet gloves, and are doing literally nothing to improve the team -tinkering around the edges. Maybe not nothing. Goalies are good. 10/

So here we are, stuck with a cheap evil owner who is raping the #leafsnation with ticket and TV prices, President golfer who is here to destroy (how much of the #Leafs staff did he fire?!), and a mediocre GM and Coach who are afraid to trade Marner before he leaves for free. 9/

Berube is just plain incompetent - he’s a motivator who can rally up a good team and maybe he could work as a main guy on a team of good coaches - if he had, say McClelland and DeBoer on his flanks. But alone, he’s out of his depth. He can’t go up against the ‘stars’. 8/

His ‘plan’ was to keep Dubas and the core forever. And it wasn’t actually a bad plan given the circumstances. But you have to have a plan B, not just react. Tre had nothing to offer, no history of winning, no special talents other than the ability to chit-chat on the phone. 7/

And we the #leafsnation got a botched rebuild, mediocrity and cowardice on ice and more failure. Tre is mediocre and a coward who’s too scared to pull off a real hockey trade. He was the guy who was available because he just failed out of Calgary. Shanahan wasn’t prepared. 6/

And that’s where it all went wrong. Dubas’ stupid ‘we can and we will’ was the beginning of the end - a strong signal to the young core that they can have whatever they want and that they’re in charge now. Lunatics running the asylum. They got their GM, they got their coach. 5/

Imagine Babcock behind the bench with Trots and Berube as assistants. Why not? There’s plenty of humble, competent, winning coaches who want to win with the #Leafs. We had the money, we had the young talent, we had the hype, and we gave the keys to a rookie nerd! 4/

He could have leveraged that financial muscle & bought Dubas with gold and made him choose between money and fame, he could have bought any other ‘analytics’ nerd instead to help Lou with the ‘latest trends’ or whatever. Keep Hunter and add -get Team Canada behind the bench. 3/

On the other hand, greed should be good for #Leafs because they have more money than any other team in NHL. I can’t help but wonder what could have been had that illiterate moron B. Shanahan kept Lou and Babs and added talent around them instead of letting Dubas have it. 2/

#Leafs vs. Golden Knights Jan 23, ‘26 #VGK is a good team and our team sucks. And that’s really annoying but it’s built into the system that Gary set up - the desert has no snow and no taxes so all the greedy fucks like Marner and Eichel go there to play. 1/ 🧵 #LeafsForever

This. Fuck those guys. I have zero respect. Fuck Marner, fuck Eichel and fuck Stone!

I can’t watch this shit anymore. #Leafs have no D because our best D is always stuck on a pairing either Rielly and getting scored on, players who used to be paired up with Rielly are scratched and the rest of the D is out of whack pairings, ppl playing on their weak side etc.

Rielly and Stecher on the ice together for the first time ever after Rielly already played a full shift? Guess what happened? Why is Rielly deemed good enough to get double shifted but Matthews is not? #LeafsForever
