"The players are the most culpable for a lost season, which already led to Brad Treliving's dismissal, to be sure. It is Berube's year-over-year decline that is most notable."
"Toronto was simply too slow to retrieve pucks at 5-on-5, outshot 62 times, while Marc Savard's dismal oversight of the power play led to his firing just before Christmas."
"Berube instead proved to be a player's coach to a fault. Once again, it's fitting that the Maple Leafs conclude this season against the Senators."
The Toronto Maple Leafs ended a challenging season with a loss to the Ottawa Senators, who rested key players. The team must now hire a new president of hockey operations and general manager following Brad Treliving's dismissal. Coach Craig Berube's year-over-year decline and inability to adapt contributed to the team's struggles. The Maple Leafs were outperformed in key areas, including power play management. Berube's approach shifted from an old-school taskmaster to a player's coach, which did not yield the expected results this season.
