Craig Berube on whether the Leafs didn't show enough killer instinct vs. the Senators in Game 4: "Don't think that was the case... We gave up four shots in two periods... We defended hard and played hard"

Head coach Craig Berube expressed no concern over John Tavares’s absence during overtime, stating the team had good chances but failed to capitalize on special team opportunities. He highlighted the team's solid defensive play, noting they limited their opponents' shots. Additionally, he praised goaltender Anthony Stolarz for his performance, attributing the final goal to an obstructed view rather than any fault on his part. Berube acknowledged the contribution of defensemen in scoring, emphasizing effective shooting and puck activation throughout the game.

I don't think there is any concern. He had to go off. At the time, we had a power play, and he was not out there. But it is what it is.

We gave up a power-play goal for them and a shortie against our power play. We had our opportunities with the four-minute power play in the overtime. We couldn't get it done.

Bounces go one way or another. I am not too concerned about it. I thought our team was ready to go. We did a lot of good things tonight, and it didn't work out.

They are shooting the puck and activating. We are doing a good job of that and getting pucks to the net.
