Craig Berube after the Leafs' home-opener win over Pittsburgh: "The guys really bought into what we are trying to accomplish and achieve in camp... It has carried over so far"

Early on, our legs weren't there, and our hands weren't there in the little puck plays. Pittsburgh came hard. They are a very good forechecking team that applies a lot of pressure. We were under siege, but our structure didn't break on it. The goalie made some saves. We hung in there with our structure in our own zone.

It is still a work in progress, for sure. In training camp, the guys really bought into what we are trying to accomplish and achieve. It has carried over to these games so far, but we have to keep improving and keep getting better.

So far, it has been stagnant. We all know that. We were just moving some guys around tonight, trying to find a spark with something different. I thought it got better in the third. There were some opportunities, but we have to get to work on it.

He is a powerful guy. He was excellent tonight. He is strong on pucks and plays the game the right way. The scoring of the goals will come. He is young. It is hard to score in this league as a young guy.
