After the Maple Leafs' 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, coach Craig Berube highlighted the impact of special teams on the game. The Maple Leafs could not capitalize on their opportunities, contrasting with the Canucks' successful power-play goal. Berube expressed uncertainty about the Nylander-Tavares-Marner line's performance after just two games, suggesting the need for better forechecking and puck distribution. He commended Morgan Rielly's improved play and praised Joseph Woll's ability to handle increased responsibilities as a goalie, ultimately expressing satisfaction with the team's recent Western road trip despite the loss.
On the difference in the game: Overall, it was a good game - a competitive and fast game. They scored a power-play goal, and when we had a chance at the end, we didn't get it.
On Joseph Woll managing the biggest workload of his career: He is a competitive guy, and from the past... he has played great for us and has been a really solid guy.
On whether we could see the Nylander-Tavares-Marner line again down the road: Maybe. Who knows, right? We'll see down the road what happens and where it goes.
On Morgan Rielly's goal and recent play: He has been really good. He is definitely moving better and activating more. He is looking to produce more.
