It’s a unique phenomenon in sports. When a new head coach comes in, they more than often are able to find immediate success. How is that possible? Former NHL head coach and current TSN Hockey analyst Bruce Boudreau shares some insight and explains what Craig Berube can do in Toronto to change the losing ways of the franchise.

Bruce will always have his ties with Washington.
Matthews, Marner & Nylander all had more playing experience in the NHL than Sheldon Keefe had coaching experience in the NHL. He was a minor leaguer at best & they didnt respect him anymore it was clear to see aftr blowing the 3-1 series lead to the Habs. He could barely get them to win any elimination games in his career the change was much needed if u ask me.
Not gonna happen. Look at their lineup, outside of 3 really good players they don't have much at all. And that back end is horribly weak.
There it is Bruce !!!
Didn't they say the same thing when the hired Babcock?
"Make them feel good about themselves"????? Marner says the Leafs are gods in Toronto not sure how you can feel better than that.
Berube is a good coach but not sure he's the guy to get them over the hump. The problem with this team is their lack of offence in the playoffs and unless Berube can win playoff games 1-0 every time, I'm not sure if he's the right fit.
BRUCE there it is
By Far the best move made was to bring in Chief. I've not heard a single player doubt his ability and coaching style.
tigers can't change their stripes. I have zero confidence Berube will make any material change. They have the exact same players who fold in the playoff. They'll play hard for about a week before they decide 'nah'. The time for a GM change was 2 years ago, the time for a coaching move was last year, and the time for core changes is this year, but I doubt that'll happen now.
Not buying it, you can't make Marner what he's not
