The Maple Leafs head coach was poised to face the St. Louis Blues — the team he led to its only Stanley Cup victory in 2019, and the one that fired him last December — looking for a bounceback performance from his group following an ugly effort two nights earlier.
"Just not doing things right," said Berube, who spent parts of six seasons with the Blues and replaced the fired Sheldon Keefe in May."It was lazy hockey.""We just need to be better," he said."We need to be in spots, we need to fill positions, we need to check better." The Leafs talked about responding after Tuesday's 6-2 road loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, but that turned out to be mostly bluster.
Toronto's talent-filled, underperforming power play dropped to 3-for-27 after another punchless effort on three chances.
