I should hope so! Good first step, now move some salary and bring some much needed balance to our lineup.
I’m excited for Berube, but the core of this team was coached by Babcock, who is hard on his players. I think more personnel change is needed for a true culture shift.
Bad hire, good hire, great hire.
To me if the on ice personnel doesn’t change, it’ll be the same results.
Edit: I’m very obviously talking about the core people. Nobody thinks replacing Liljegren is going to put us over the top.
Yeah but is it going to be enough? The following is taken from an article by the Athletic from the blues’ beat reporter:
“I’m not going to say everything was perfect. There were players who tuned him out, and management had concerns about his attention to detail in practice.”
The last part is what worries me. I feel like Berube is gonna come in, give us a good jolt for a couple years then fizzle out because he’s not tactically as sharp as other coaches so when players start tuning him out the team will crumble. It’s what happened in St Louis the past couple years.
Who knows though, maybe we’ll win in the next couple years and all of this is moot, but this doesn’t seem like a coach who will have a long shelf life
He will preach accountability and not be afraid to bench players. Keefe started to develop this towards the end but not soon enough
LOL Fail ..Fired but nice try Shanadoodle
Without a 1D they won’t do much better. Balance the O/D and get to work.
I was hoping for Brindamour but I’m willing to give Berube a chance
Maybe a couple few layers of management have to go too… the fish rots from the head.
Ask anyone who works in any level of management at bell or rogers ie MLSE
I want to believe he can be the spark that lights the flame. But I’m just so tired, boss.
This core has made it impossible to have any expectation for them in the post season.
until he hurts a players feelings and has to apologize the next f’ing day!
Ullmark in net?
The new mentality will be, “quit whining ya pussies!”
Now we’ll see how many softies will request a trade.
One positive – Craig is a professional. He has a resume to back it up and he’s going to make these guys work… it is their JOB after all.
Sheldon, before getting a job in the Toronto organization had a resume of coaching the Soo Greyhounds – which is essentially kids. 16-20 year olds.
Sheldon’s style has been that of coaching kids. Constantly throwing lines in the blender and saying before a do or die game “let’s go have some fun”.
Craig could also give a shit what you get paid – you’re there to WORK. Perhaps these guys will play like professionals once they’re reminded they are.
