Craig Berube frustrated with Maple Leafs' second period effort despite comeback win vs. Penguins
""I have no clue. I don't have an answer for that right now," Berube said. "Like I said, the second period, they got the puck and did whatever they wanted with it. We didn't check anybody, we didn't knock anybody off the puck, and when we did get it, we gave it back to them, and they just kept coming back down our throats. I mean, it's just not good enough.""
""What upsets me is we come out in the second period down 2-0, you think we're going to make a push, and we didn't. And they controlled the whole period with the puck.""
""I didn't think the first period was that bad, made a mistake on the first goal, second goal was a bounce,""
The Toronto Maple Leafs overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 by scoring four unanswered third-period goals, including three goals in under four minutes to tie the game. The team allowed two first-period goals and ceded control of the second period, entering the third trailing 3-0. Coach Craig Berube expressed frustration with the lack of checking, failure to win puck battles and giving possession away during the first two periods, calling the performance 'not good enough.' Berube declined to disclose his second-intermission remarks but acknowledged and praised the team's defensive effort late.
