Craig Berube gives his real opinion of the Toronto Maple Leafs so far
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube has coached the team to a solid record in the Atlantic Division and now, he is being asked to assess the team.
Despite a superb start to the year, the Toronto Maple Leafs have slipped as of late as they lost two games in a row. One of which was to the New York Islanders, while the other came yesterday against the Winnipeg Jets.
Craig Berube talks about his Toronto Maple Leafs
Yesterday's game was a headache for Craig Berube and the Maple Leafs as Chris Tanev and Auston Matthews were both out of the lineup.
The Jets won the game pretty easily, and afterward, the head coach was asked about what he thought of his team through the first 35 games of the year.
Berube was honest, noting that while the team has played good hockey, there are some things that need to be cleaned up sooner rather than later.
Cleaning up mistakes is a theme that has been prevalent for the Leafs all season long.
Berube even noted that yesterday's loss featured a whole bunch of messy plays that contributed to their demise.
Even in the second period, I liked our game, but we have to clean up the mistakes and details. The game is right there. We created enough. We didn't score enough goals tonight, but we did a lot of good things.
Ultimately, the Maple Leafs have a lot to work on right now, especially as it pertains to their offense.
Not to mention, goaltending was their strong point but ever since Stolarz went down, the team has struggled to get key saves when they need it the most.
Hopefully, the team is able to bounce back after the break and get themselves back on track.
