"It's inexcusable, and it's on me too,"
"It's on all of us. With a veteran team that shouldn't happen."
"Obviously getting some people back in the lineup, that will help,"
"But until we decide to dig in and play the right way for 60 minutes on a consistent basis, it's going to be hard to pull yourselves out of anything."
The Maple Leafs opened the year with losses and a dominant 4-0 defeat to Montreal after the Canadiens scored twice early. Toronto displayed a recurring lack of adversity and fell behind by midway through the second period. Head coach Craig Berube publicly took responsibility for the team's performance and stressed that a veteran club should not play that way. Berube acknowledged multiple key injuries, including Auston Matthews and others, and said returns will help, but emphasized that consistent, full-game effort is required to change results. The team begins a six-game road trip next, with a few days off to regroup.
