There wasn’t a whole lot of celebration or excitement when Craig Berube was hired as head coach of the Maple Leafs last May. He was just a guy who’d been around forever, or so a lot of us thought. He was just a guy with one Stanley Cup to his name, but not a lot […]

In another time, on another team, Craig Berube might appreciate having a disruptor such as Ridly Greig on his bench. “He’s a good player, a competitor, a lot of good hockey traits,” the Maple Leafs coach observed. But Greig can’t be allowed to become a distraction against Toronto when this series shifts to Ottawa on […]

7 d. ago Craig Berube cautious on injured Leafs trio, won’t use them until playoffs

It’s no surprise that Craig Berube’s “day-to-day” designation for his injured Maple Leafs dragged through the final two weeks of the schedule, right up to Game 1 of the playoffs. As a coach who closely guards injury details, recovery progress and on top of that sees no reason for risk in a meaningless game, he is keeping Jake […]

7 d. ago Why this Maple Leafs player has surprised coach Craig Berube most this season

Craig Berube is just like the rest of us, in a sense.

BUFFALO — The Maple Leafs took their coach’s cue and ran with it. The 2024-25 Leafs under Craig Berube are a different outfit than they have been in the past, certainly with this core, different in the way they go about winning hockey games, different with their resolve.

If defence wins championships — or even one playoff round — consider the Maple Leafs true blue believers.

On the cusp of the Atlantic Division […]

1 week ago LEAFS NOTES: Berube expects ‘another level’ from Calle Jarnkrok

For another practice at least, Calle Jarnkrok was in the Maple Leafs’ top six. Whether Jarnkrok should be on a line with centre John Tavares and William Nylander for the longer term is debatable, but what matters most is that Leafs coach Craig Berube is fine with using the veteran winger there when he sees […]

Craig Berube made himself heard at practice on Friday — and so did Brandon Carlo. As Max Domi finished off a rush drill, the 6-foot-5 Leaf defenceman rode the smaller Domi hard into the end boards.
