"After stumbling their way through most of the game after giving up a shorthanded goal in the first period and struggling to generate much offence at all, the Leafs scored two goals in eight seconds late in the third period to give themselves the lead and eventually the win over the Blackhawks. Despite this, their effort early in the game left a lot to be desired, which Craig Berube commented on following the game."
"There's momentum shifts in the game, right? You don't need to break. You can bend. But the mistakes, the two or three mistakes you make early on in the game, that's what upsets you. There's no need for it. The Maple Leafs could have been down 3-0 coming out of the first period had a goal not been disallowed. Craig Berube was seen screaming up at his bench during the review, and again later on in the game."
The Toronto Maple Leafs overcame a disjointed start to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2, scoring two goals in eight seconds late in the third period. The Leafs surrendered a shorthanded goal early and struggled to generate offence for much of the game. A disallowed goal prevented a 3-0 deficit after the first period. Head coach Craig Berube criticized early mistakes, face-off goals and being muscled around the net. Berube also called for leadership after a recent loss. Auston Matthews assisted the first goal, later tied the game, and his line was credited with driving play and regaining control.
