Craig Berube Fires Up His Team with a Bold Message Before Showdown with the Stars
Craig Berube held nothing back when addressing his gameplan ahead of Toronto's game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
Needing to be better defensively, capitalize on their chances and
get their anemic powerplay back on track, there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed, not to mention their third line scoring issues that have plagued them since the beginning of the season.
Craig Berube understands this and held nothing back with his comments ahead of the Stars game and it leaves no room for error.
Craig Berube Needs No Passengers On This Journey
The Leafs head coach kept it blunt but simple when he talked about what his team needs to do on Tuesday night:
"We just need a really good, solid hockey game for 60 minutes tonight. We need everybody. We can't have any passengers."
It looks like Berube wants everyone to drive the offense tonight and not just sit and wait for things to happen. Toronto has a bad habit of being too cute or trying to do too much instead of keeping it simple.
Toronto's third line can't be observers either, and need to start kicking things into gear.
The team has an incredible record when
Bobby McMann scores so it's imperative he gets on the scoresheet. Nick Robertson needs to increase his trade value to help the team the most and
Max Domi needs to play up to his deal.
There are no more excuses for the Maple Leafs especially heading into a crucial bounce back game coming off two days rest. It's time for the team to make a statement and it needs to start Tuesday night.
