""We played well," Berube said. "Through two periods, I really liked our game. Lots of chances and opportunities. It is not going in right now. Eventually, it wears on you throughout the game, right?""
""Our puck play is a lot better," Berube continued. "There are opportunities from just making more plays. There is more confidence in our game. Again, we need to finish, right? One goal is not going to cut it most nights. But I thought we defended extremely well tonight. That is a good team over there. We all know that. And we didn't give up much.""
""It is all frustrating. It is. The guys feel it. Everybody feels it. We have to stick with it. If we get some bounces here, it can turn and go the other way.""
The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost five of six games, most recently a 5-1 defeat to the Dallas Stars. The team created numerous chances but failed to solve Stars netminder Jake Oettinger and conceded goals from shots through traffic. Dennis Hildeby had an unfavorable stat line but did not lose the game alone. Head coach Craig Berube praised improved puck play, increased confidence, chance generation and solid defending despite the score. The team is frustrated, plans to stick with its process, and hopes for positive bounces to shift results.
