He's about to get a head coaching offer from MLSE, right?

Hopefully not a GM offer.

I'm sure there's a national grocery chain who could pick him up to set their best before dates ...

You know who I'd be perfectly fine taking out of the recycling heap for the leafs head coach - Boudreau.

MLSE wants to get the guy who landed Steven Stamkos in free agency.

No matter how the season goes from this point, there would be some entertainment

There has been valid criticism of Berube but I don't blame him for all of this mess. I think he's on ok guy/players coach.

Except for a couple of years of Berube's contract, they don't have much to lose at this point. Average NHL coach lasts 2.4 years so it is not that far off the expectation with MLSE's deep pockets. But I doubt they'll fire Berube any time soon.

I'd bring him in in some sort of player development role, but that's probably it.

I think it would be fitting that the Leafs brought in someone whose last name essentially evokes what this organization is made of.

This will probably get less punishment than Nylander’s finger

Columbus up 3-0 over the Hawks after 2 ... about to go 11-1 in their last 12, pulling 2 pts ahead of the Leafs with a game in hand
What a crazy season.

So Tampa and Florida play tonight. Who does Canada call up after Florida injures Point and Hagel.

Point is already on LTIR. My guess for next up would be Scheifele, Johnston, then Bedard, Hyman.

Massive loss for USA if he's out. He was an absolute lunatic vs Canada in the 4 Nations.

Wasn't he injured?

Oh look, the league looked into it and provided no supplemental discipline. Leaving your feet as a non-NHL player to drive an elbow into their head is only worth a 2 minute minor to the league. Nylander giving the middle finger is a fine. Sergachev giving the middle finger is nothing. The league is beyond a joke.

 

[cabber24]

He played the round-robin game against Canada and ran over McDavid and jumped on Crosby. The Canada game was his last of the season. Shoulder injury became infected, I believe.

Not hockey but hilarious. At least one pole vaulter probably would’ve liked to discover the reverse of this earlier.
