Craig Berube feeling encouraged about direction of Maple Leafs' play despite overtime loss to Blue Jackets
""I thought we played a pretty solid game all around," Berube told reporters postgame on Thursday. "I thought guys worked and competed, you know, did a lot of good things. Overtime, you know. It's the way it goes.""
""He's taken some good steps from day one, and for me, it's like a dog on a bone out there," Berube said of Cowan. "Like, he just works and skates and sees the ice extremely well. He's being a lot heavier on pucks and making good decisions with the puck. I thought he played a really good game tonight.""
The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost six of seven games but displayed a level of play that suggested they deserved better results. The team snapped a five-game losing streak against the St. Louis Blues, then lost 3-2 in overtime to the Columbus Blue Jackets while controlling much of the play. Head coach Craig Berube described the performance as solid and competitive and noted positive momentum heading into a six-game road trip. Easton Cowan set up the tying goal and drew top-line looks, and Scott Laughton returned to re-establish his importance in the lineup.
