""I thought we came out and were fine, we made two puck-play mistakes and it's in our net," stated Berube postgame. "Execution, was obviously, the cause of a couple of goals. Give their guys two on ones, or odd-man rushes and you're in trouble. We get down 2-0 and it kind of deflated our team. Tried to fight back in the third, but overall, we have to fix the execution part for me.""
""The battle level, when we get down in a game, have to come together as a team, and fight through that, because it's going to happen, we all know that, but losing at home here, it's worn on our team a little bit. But, that's pro sports, we got to all pull together here and get ready for Tuesday. We need a win, that's the bottom line""
The Toronto Maple Leafs lost 4-1 to the Colorado Avalanche as Avalanche speed and resilience overwhelmed Toronto, particularly early. The Leafs were outshot 37-33 and trailed 17-6 in the opening period. Morgan Rielly and Simon Benoit struggled on defence. Head coach Craig Berube cited execution errors, including two puck-play mistakes and odd-man rushes that led to goals, and said falling behind 2-0 deflated the team. The Leafs have not won in regulation at home in over two weeks and are 0-3-1 on a five-game homestand. Berube emphasized raising the battle level and the urgent need for a win.
