Craig Berube on the message from the league ahead of the Leafs vs. Ducks rematch: "They don't want the game to get out of hand, and I don't blame them... I don't think it is good for anybody"

"Definitely, it will play a role in it, but so will our last game (in St. Louis). There wasn't a lot of emotion in that game. None of us is very happy about it or how we played in that game. Definitely, we should see a lot more emotion in the game tonight."

"The guys went out in the third, answered the bell, and were pissed off about what happened. They took things into their own hands, played a real good third, ended up winning the game, and played with emotion. That is a big part of it all."

"They don't want the game to get out of hand, and I don't blame them. I don't think it is good for anybody."

Head coach Craig Berube anticipates heightened emotion in the rematch against the Ducks, especially following the last encounter. He acknowledges the team's lack of emotion in their previous game against St. Louis. Berube emphasizes the need for a hard, physical approach against Radko Gudas. He believes the team's inspired performance in the third period against the Ducks will carry over. The league has communicated a desire to prevent the game from escalating out of control, which Berube agrees with.
