Coaching might be holding Leafs back but that’s not what’s doing it so far this season - it’s injuries, losing 2 top 4 defence man and goaltending that’s allowed most above expected. That’s it. You aren’t getting coached through that.

Is Berube holding them back once they are healthy? Don’t know.

We really need to do a full break down of penalty inconsistencies. The Leafs have had MULTIPLE games where the other team has had 3 straight PPs. I don’t think we realize how big a statistical anomaly that is.

Leafs were called for 3 straight garbage penalties last game and are now called for 2 straight ones tonight.

The Leafs should’ve gone nuclear on officiating years ago. If they weren’t up 2-0 I’d say Berube should take one for the team and get tossed.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Honestly you could write an essay about the media attention around the Leafs. Like you can legit find fault in philosophy behind Carlo/Laughton deals but like literally anyone would make those deals over the Newhook or Dach trades and yet we still don’t hear a thing about worse trades.

On some level I get the appeal of AI but it still makes me fucking laugh in software development. “Wouldn’t it be great if you had to physical type less words?” Brother the ‘AMOUNT’ of code I have to write is literally NEVER a problem.

Doesn’t matter how just keep fucking fighting. Everyone should be taking notes from Cowan - there’s some value in waiting for high danger chances but at the same time they have to get more on net like that.

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!

BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

It's so fun to watch homer streams. "Sorry to tell ya, that's right on the hands" as Nick Roy goes stick on stick. Just telling the home crowd a different version of reality. Meanwhile Craig Simpson is actively wishing failure if not harm on every Leaf he's forced to look at

Nice to see a Democrat outright defend the humanities and the arts rather than taking the right-wing assault on them at face value.
New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

I do not get the Joshua hate tbh. If this guy had like 8-10 points in 22 games I’d say that’s a steal for a 3rd line 3 mil guy. My only biggest complaint is he’s gotta actually score with more regularity at some point but like there is half a roster that isn’t scoring and isn’t expected to.

I dunno - just when it comes to the Leafs I believe in the Micheal Jordan philosophy. Go figure out how to win. Fuck the draft pick, fuck loving on purpose, fuck giving up. I’m not saying don’t change anything but keep trying to win. Matthews / Nylander / Tavares gives you opp to do that.
