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 […]

5 h. ago Pressure of playoff success no issue for Berube’s Maple Leafs

We know now what the Maple Leafs do in the face of adversity. Or, better put, what they don’t do. They don’t flinch. The Leafs didn’t flinch on Thursday night in Ottawa when Senators captain Brady Tkachuk scored on his team’s first shot of the third period to tie the game. The Leafs didn’t flinch […]

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. When the Maple Leafs coach was asked on Thursday morning which player has surprised him the most in his first year running the Toronto bench, he didn’t look beyond the top line.

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 […]

3 w. ago Berube: Maple Leafs’ goaltending ‘in a good spot’ with 10 games left

Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube doesn’t sound like he is worried. Not when it comes to the Leafs’ goaltending, as inconsistent as it has been at times since the 4 Nations Face-Off break ended. “Little up and down, but they have had real good games too,” Berube told media in Los Angeles after the Leafs […]
