November 20, 2025 Toronto Maple Leafs Need More Speed on a Very Slow Roster

November 14, 2025 Toronto Maple Leafs Stink. Is Firing Berube on the Table?
The Toronto Maple Leafs dropped their fourth straight game on Thursday night, and there’s no dressing it up anymore. They stink. This episode breaks down the roster construction and the total drop-off in talent, speed, and skill once you get past the top players. We address the calls to fire Craig Berube, whether that move would actually change anything, and why simply riding out the rest of the season might be the only logical path given how few assets the Leafs have in the cupboard.
