"Craig Berube's Leafs won the Atlantic Division for the first time in 2024-25 and achieved their most playoff wins in this era, a fairly modest seven. They ran into the eventual Cup champions in round two and were really the only team in the postseason to fully test them."
"The process behind those results, though, was questionable and largely unsustainable. The '24-25 Leafs went an incredible 22-4-4 in one-goal games, an extremely difficult tight-game win rate to bank."
The Maple Leafs' 2025-26 season raises questions about the future of the organization, particularly regarding management and coaching staff. Discussions have emerged about the accountability of players and the potential fate of Brad Treliving. Craig Berube, hired in 2024, led the team to its best playoff performance but faced criticism for the sustainability of their success. The team's impressive record in one-goal games is seen as a potential red flag for future performance.
