This is probably the most unified the fan base has been in the last 10 years. Not a single fan I know wants Brad and Craig back next year. If both or one are back there will be heavy backlash.

I’m not gonna bother reading what he wrote BUT our players do share the blame. If this guy is such a bad coach and the roster is built terribly speak your damn mind. Point out the systemic issues you deal with every night.

That doesn’t even make sense. The season is sacrificial at this point. Why would they get rid of Berube or Tre right now? His logic is flawed
SalaciousPanda
The thing that fucks me off about Dreger is that he never actually played the godamn sport himself, let alone at any level approaching the show. The dude is a lifelong poser and his takes are so frequently shit because of this.

Dreger is partially responsible for the leafs downfall. Nearly everything he’s said over the past 7 years has worked against the leafs.
He directly spun narratives that ended up working against the leafs when it came to Gm shit like Dubas or Trelivimg . Protecting higher up fuckups like Shannahan . Not to mention driving away Marner, defending regarding his camp, and fucking up contract negotiations .
If 3 things need to change in order for the leafs to get better fire it’s fire Treiliving first, fire berube second and fire Dreger third.
God I hope he reads this. Fuck you Dreger. Talentless asshat.

Dreger has become the biggest pos “insider” (if you can even call him that) since Marner entered this league. It’s obvious he’s just a paid shill by agents/players, but all he ever does is tarnish the reputation of players against their cities.

Dreger is Darren Farris’s stooge. Darren was Mitch’s agent who famously trashed Auston in the media. He sucks balls.

This guy is an agent of chaos. He loves it when we suck.
realsalbowski
Can we stop giving this guy any attention. He’s clearly got it in for the Leafs.

Dregs has had some dogshit takes this past deadline.
He claims no one wants to play in Toronto now, and then blames the players for the leafs failure. Thanks dregs, you tool.

lol good luck dreger and MLSE to blame the players

Man this guy is such a hack. Everyone deserves blame. Except guys like Cowan and Quillan.

Dreger loves agitating Toronto market to get his clicks.

The franchise is shit from top to bottom… yes.

Kypreos was on 590 yesterday touting similar stuff, saying that teams are cyclical and Brad is just the guy to bring the leafs to the end of this window. He shifted the blame to previous regimes, and said Brad is the guy to bring the team into a reconfigure. Went on to talk about all the near misses and what if the pucks bounced the other way for them in the playoffs.
As if there aren’t teams who were in their window sooner, or a similar time and stayed relevant. Also it’s not like Willy and Auston are in their mid 30’s riding off into the sunset, this didn’t have to be a retool, but it seems to be heading that way because of Brads moves.

Dreger would never have blamed the players if mitch was still here.
TinyGiant122
Everyone deserves blame ffs. Its so exhausting listening to people act there has to be one person to blame.
The players are to blame for their poor performance.
The coach is to blame for an awful system, not adjusting, and losing the room
The GM is to blame for being bad at being a GM and refusing to do literally anything until the last possible second.
Stop trying to find a scapegoat and hold people to THEIR shit
hockeytonkguy
Darren dreger is a coward who at this point seems more inclined to carry water for the leafs management then answer any questions from the media. The guy gets flat out defensive. We get it these guys are your buddies and they’ built your career by leaking you info, but the bias he has now a days for his buddies makes him unlistenable
capebretoncanadian
Lol the players what a stooge you are Dreger.
Known_Palpitation805
It’s both and that’s ok. Treviling isn’t the guy and doesn’t know what moves to make, but Matthews et al are never going to change their colours from the soft yet skilled mercenaries they are. Until the culture to win changes in that lockerroom, nothing will and while that’s on Brad to do and manage, try getting rid of the team talisman and his crew without people at the gate with torches and pitchforks.

Every player on the leafs has looked much worse since berube was hired. Every single one.
Fearless-Many1845
I still think Dreger cost the market millions a year on Marner, and by extension, helped sewer this era. All that talk about Ferris, and comparing him to Matthews (dollar for dollar) instead of wingers, or even Patrick Kane. Propagandist mouthpiece for the agent. Can we throw some garbage on his lawn? Maybe he can go stir something up in another market. People don’t forget.
dicky72
honestly this entire season is just one giant ESH.
players have been shit. i’m sorry but its true. there’s been some injuries sure…but there’s been a ton of underperformances across the board, and from the big players. they’ve been asked to play a certain way…instead of doing it, they’re pouting.
coaching hasnt been the best. Berube is right on some points….this team does need to play a heavier brand of hockey, and if 9 seasons of playoff flameouts doesnt make you realize your brand is off…you need help. but he hasnt adjusted or adapted his style to meet the players in the middle. you can’t trade 20 players….so you need to find a way to work with them within your system.
GM didnt set this roster up for success. we knew coming out of last season we needed a better D core, guys that could move the puck (so we dont get stomped in our end as much) and we knew we needed somebody in the top6 to step into marners role. they failed… Macelli was a stop gap, not the guy…and they never went and got the guy. Strong argument that with no assets to trade his hands were tied, but there wasnt any creative approaches taken or attempted from what we’ve seen….just that Tre’s been ‘in on’ guys.
Pelley should have hired a president. you need a hockey guy there…overseeing the GM and making high level decisions and have a sounding board for the GM.

Clown, such a damn clown.
Dreger is a huge reason why people hate Toronto media. Dumber than a door nail.
Blame the team! Just don’t ask who put it together…
Dreger really needs to go away
Dreger also implied Berube is a better coach than Deboer because he has won a cup.
Didn’t he go to Vegas?

It’s incredible how clearly he speaks considering Paul Marner still has his horn in his mouth.
Dreger seems like he’s a got a douchey personality just the vibe he gives..
