In a press availability, Coach Craig Berube addressed several key issues facing his team, including the aftermath of Max Domi's controversial hit on Aleksander Barkov and Auston Matthews' performance. Berube delivered a flat response about Domi's hit, suggesting its severity was overstated compared to another hit by Kulikov on Mitch Marner. He emphasized the expected physicality in the series and maintained that Matthews, despite not scoring, contributes in critical ways to the team's success, urging him to focus on his overall game rather than solely on goal production.
"It's not a great hit, but honestly, it's also one you don't apologize for."
"Auston Matthews is generating chances... he just has to keep playing. I get it, but he does a lot of other things..."
