"The Toronto Maple Leafs fell to the Nashville Predators for three losses in their past four games, further increasing the temperature surrounding the market in what's been a season well below expectations so far. The Leafs were close to heading into the third period with a 2-1 lead but allowed a goal in the final minute of the second, before the Predators took care of business in the final frame."
"Berube continued by saying that he felt the Leafs have been forcing too many plays lately. "If there's plays to be made, make them," Berube continued. "If not, I thought we kind of forced things there too much. But again, you know, a lot of good things. We didn't finish enough on some of our opportunities. And like I said, the goals they got were mistakes.""
"Despite the slump the Leafs are in right now and the seemingly low mood around the team, Berube said that he doesn't have any problems when it comes to motivating his team. "I don't have an issue with motivating the team, looking at things and correcting them and being positive at the same time, that's my job," he said. "So it's not difficult for me, but like I said, we've got a game tomorrow,"
The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost three of their last four games and are performing below expectations this season. In a recent loss to the Nashville Predators the Leafs led late into the second period but conceded a goal in the final minute and allowed another in the third. Head coach Craig Berube praised improved puck play and zone exits but called the goals avoidable and said decision-making over the red line needs improvement. Berube said the team has been forcing plays and failed to finish opportunities, and he signaled some lineup shuffling ahead of a road game in Dallas.
