We talked about how it is important to keep your shifts short here, and the guys did a really good job of it. We came away with two points."
"I think it's just overall team play and just playing the system," Berube said on what's been working for the Leafs lately. "Defensively, we have been a lot better, obviously, and that is a big part of the game. We are scoring goals, too, but as I said the other day, we have scored goals all year. Defensively, we are a lot tighter and a lot better."
