"Before becoming Toronto's bench boss, Berube spent the six seasons prior as the coach of the St. Louis Blues. Berube's time in St. Louis included leading the team to the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship. If Maple Leafs fans are going to find any solace at this time, it will be in the fact that the Craig Berube led Blues were dead last in the NHL in January of 2019 and ultimately won the Stanley Cup that season."
"Berube was hired as the Maple Leafs head coach on May 17, 2024, following another first-round loss at the hands of the Boston Bruins. An embarrassing string of losses could be final straw for Craig Berube The goal above was a Game 7, overtime winner courtesy of David Pastrnak, slamming the door shut on an oh-so-close 3-1 series comeback attempt by the Maple Leafs.

Craig Berube was hired as the Maple Leafs head coach on May 17, 2024, after a first-round loss to the Boston Bruins. Seventeen games into his second season, the Leafs sit 15th of 16 in the Eastern Conference after a loss to the Bruins, prompting calls for a coaching change. Berube previously coached the St. Louis Blues for six seasons and led them to their first Stanley Cup. The Blues were last in the NHL in January 2019 and ultimately won the Stanley Cup that season, offering a precedent for a turnaround. Berube's first season with Toronto ended in a second-round exit after a 6-1 Game 7 loss to Florida.
