Did I tell you on this podcast what, um, I think was Alex Steen one day to Vladimir Teresenko? It wasn't too long after [Craig Berube] took over as head coach. Um, [Tarasenko] kind of got in a F-you match with him.
And [Steen] looked at [Tarasenko], in between periods as taping a stick. And he's like, you know who [Craig Berube], uh, is, right? And Vlad, he's, you know. You know, he's all pissed off. And I'm like. I'm like, Vlad, let's take a moment and look at some of [Berube's] video. Yeah, yeah. And then just kick your s*** right out of it. Just figure out who, like we have now behind the bench, who the bench boss is and what he.
Who he is, how much respect he has from the ref, the other coach, the players who know who he is. Like, he's a guy that played hard. He played over a thousand games I don't know how many fights. 300-plus fights. I mean, the guy's a legend. He played the right way. Good Alberta boy. Um, and tough and hilarious. And I think he's done a great job on TNT when he was there, but he deserves to be behind the bench of a great team.
And I think the Maple Leafs are very lucky to have him. It's great hiring.
