Craig Berube on the Leafs' ugly loss in St. Louis: "We had one player who showed up... If you don't have urgency, you're letting that sweater down"

"We had one player who showed up tonight, and that was our goalie. That is really what it boils down to. It's very disappointing."

"If you don't have urgency and you are not competitive, you are just letting each other down. You're letting that sweater down. That is the bottom line."

"We let them come at us all night. They had the puck all night. We didn't check it off them. Checking is a will, a want, and an urgency."

"You just have to go out and play. You have to be highly competitive and play hard against him. We definitely have to go out and play a physical, hard game against that team."

The Maple Leafs suffered a 5-1 defeat to the St. Louis Blues, dropping their record to 31-30-13. Coach Craig Berube expressed disappointment in the team's performance, noting only the goalie showed up. He emphasized the need for urgency and competitiveness, stating that the team let each other down. The Blues easily gained the zone due to the Maple Leafs' lack of checking. Berube also mentioned experimenting with William Nylander at center and the importance of playing hard against the Blues in the upcoming rematch.
