Toronto Maple Leafs fired the wrong coach to save their sinking season
"They have lost three straight and it hasn't even been relatively close as they have been out-scored 14-4 during this stretch. The Maple Leafs now have only 35 points and are currently second-to-last in the Eastern Conference and only one point ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Over the weekend, Craig Berube had quite the quote when he was asked how to get more effort from the players and said, "Ask those guys, not me.""
"Savard joined the Maple Leafs and Craig Berube's staff last year, and this was the second time he was a part of Berube's staff as they were together in 2019 with the St. Louis Blues. This season, Savard struggled to get much production out of the Maple Leafs power play, and in fact, they ranked last in the NHL in power play percentage at 13.3%. They have only 12 power play goals through 35 games, which is three fewer than the next team."
The Toronto Maple Leafs lost three straight games and were out-scored 14-4 during that stretch. The team has 35 points and sits second-to-last in the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Craig Berube responded to a question about effort by saying, "Ask those guys, not me," signaling a disconnect between coach and players. The club fired assistant head coach Marc Savard, who joined Berube's staff last year and previously worked with him in 2019 with the St. Louis Blues. The power play ranked last at 13.3% with 12 goals through 35 games.
