Craig Berube is turning out to be exactly what the Leafs have been needing behind the bench and he showed that off Wednesday, not going easy on his guys even when up 5-2. That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!
Whether its game 4 of the regular season or game 7 of the stanrly cup final there should be a standard everytime you step on the ice. And if you cant meet that standard you dont play, thats how things should be
The Leafs needed that "adjustment." They were up and chose to sit back and play sloppy hockey, leaving Stolarz, who had played excellently, out to dry.
I was a lifelong Leafs fan and I honestly just couldn't sit through another season. I'm hoping for my dad's sake that Berube changes things, but it's just going to be the same thing again this year.
That approach may have worked 20 years ago, but today's athletes eventually tune that stuff out and the coach loses his team.. don't cry Toronto when this happens
This is what the Red Wings desperately need. Instead they have a soft handshake uncle Fester as coach. I wanted Stolarz so bad as a Florida fan as well. Was sad to see him go anywhere else but Detroit.
Berube is clearly familiar with all of the Leafs collapses in the playoffs and when they have the lead. Killer instinct is needed by this team, and he's bringing it.
Before the timeout, it felt like the Kings might pull off an upset. It was probably an excellent call by the coach. However, putting any weight behind the victory over the Kings is like celebrating a race against a disabled kid.
Blues fan, Berube is awesome, definitely rooting for the leafs this year if the Blues get knocked out.
When he was our coach we played with so much heart and intensity. Stuff like the hand pass vs San Jose in the 2019 playoffs didnt deflate us, it pissed us off and made us play better.
Or in 2022 we were the only team other than TB to not get swept vs Colorado in the playoffs. If Binnington didnt get hurt that series who knows how it wouldâve turned out.
A top team needs to crush weaker teams, every game matters, previous Leaf teams have mailed it in during seemingly meaningless games too often in the past.
Extremely needed. Leafs historically have consistently let up when theyâre ahead or like to try and play catch up when theyâre behind. Much better to just create a lead, create an even bigger lead and hold it strongly. Liking the Leafs under Berube so far, but it is a very small sample size. If he changes this for good, that would be incredible.
"Enjoy it"….Leafs: "What?"…."This"…..Leafs: "I don't think you appreciate how good our team is right now."….."Soon, there's going to be a knock on that door and you will be called outside. In the hall there will be the playoffs. First he'll compliment you on the fine job you've done – on you making the playoffs in the first place. That you're to receive accolades from all the local bootlickers and sycophants masquerading as the local media. And then he's going to beat you, again, in the first round. You're going to protest. You'll probably threaten to resign. But in the end, you will lose."

Good, but they will all quit on him and he will be fired by Xmas.
Ok this is what Toronto needs to pull a Nick Sabin and Berube has shown it they need to act like they hate Losing
Berube and depth will have to carry them because the core 4 dont produce enough offensively in the playoffs
Reminds me of Babcock without the being a pos human dickhead part

Boys cannot be boys forever. Finally, Berube are turning Leafs into real hockey players.
Holy cow the leafs start the season at the top of their division! Perhaps this is the year!
Brother are you from Halifax? I been watching this content for ages and this guy just on the other side of the bridge.

THE BALLARD CURSE LIVES …..
OMG! Theyâre moving to Hamilton?

Love the timeout.
Its very easy for a team to take their foot off the gas, and LA was looking to close the gap in the next 10 minutes.
We've seen this happen many times, when a team thinks they have a comfy lead, start being lazy, and then the other team makes a big comeback.
berube is cool
First round exit again baby!

It wonât matter when their play in playoffs stinks
Keefe would've let that lead side into a OT loss

That is what they need! too many times they've been caught sitting on a 2 goals lead and ended up short at the ned of the 3rd
Hi
As a Bruins fan, a depressing reminder, Monty's Stars lost to Berube's Blues in 2019.
Keefe did this so many times as head coach too.
To me its proof that this group is more of the same.
That other nit never called a time out. Like he was afraid to or something. When so many times it would have been the thing to do. So glad heâs gone
Rempe vs Reaves rd 2?
Berube as HC of the Leafs is kinda foreshadowing of my man Dan Campbell. Change of culture for my Lions and hopefully the same for my Leafs!
