Leafs fans are probably getting tired of hearing the Maple Leafs are showing no life. You’re probably getting sick of how they are finding new ways to lose each game. And of course, the injuries are piling up as if this team were cursed. All these facts are true, but they don’t change the fact that we are getting tired of hearing them.
Yet these players continue to live by the definition of insanity, doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. We continue to see them throwing the puck away, putting in minimal effort, and, in the third, not hitting anyone. For some reason, this team thinks they win by just skating around.
Everyone thinks the Toronto Maple Leafs need a shake-up or a trade. Let me bring something new to the discussion: Can we introduce the word ‘accountability’? Everyone said they liked the job Brad Treliving did as General Manager in the off-season. Yet here we are, sitting in the last place in the Eastern Conference.
Is this all on Berube? Berube obviously had some input on who they brought in. Makes you wonder if it’s Berube’s system or simply the core? It is too easy to fire the coaches rather than trade the whole team.
It all comes down to the question: Should the ownership consider restructuring the core? Is it time? We’re up to the one-quarter mark of the season. Selling the core might be the only real option. Morgan Reily is the biggest asset, and management is willing to move him. But if they do, will it be enough?
