Craig Berube Opens Up About the Challenges Facing the Maple Leafs as Head Coach

Toronto, May 5, 2025 — Newly appointed Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach Craig Berube addressed the media today, shedding light on the numerous challenges he faces in taking the reins of one of the NHL’s most scrutinized franchises. Berube, known for his no-nonsense style and success with the St. Louis Blues, was introduced as the Leafs’ head coach last week following the dismissal of Sheldon Keefe after another early playoff exit.

In his first extended public comments, Berube acknowledged the immense pressure that comes with coaching in Toronto — a hockey-crazed market with a fanbase hungry for playoff success.

“It’s not going to be easy,” Berube said. “There’s a lot of talent in this locker room, but with that comes expectation. The challenge is getting everyone to buy into a style of hockey that wins in the playoffs — and that’s something this team hasn’t been able to consistently do.”

Cultural Shift Needed

Berube emphasized that changing the team’s mindset is his top priority. He highlighted a need for greater physicality, structure, and defensive accountability — characteristics that have been lacking in recent Leafs playoff performances.

“I’m not here to make excuses,” he stated. “We’ve got skilled players, but skill alone doesn’t win in the postseason. It takes grit, it takes discipline, and it takes sacrifice.”

This signals a likely philosophical shift in how the Leafs approach the game, especially under a coach who led the Blues to a Stanley Cup in 2019 with a heavy, grinding style of play.

Managing the Core

When asked about the team’s core players — including Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and William Nylander — Berube acknowledged the difficulty of managing elite talent while instilling a tougher brand of hockey.

“It’s a balance,” he explained. “These guys are among the best in the league. My job is to put them in positions to succeed — but also hold them accountable. Everyone has a role to play, and no one is above that.”

Berube’s comments suggest that while he respects the offensive firepower on the roster, he is prepared to make hard decisions to shift the team’s identity.

Final Thoughts

Craig Berube’s arrival marks a pivotal moment for the Maple Leafs. With years of underachievement behind them, his no-frills approach and commitment to defensive responsibility could be exactly what the franchise needs. But as Berube himself admitted, “Turning things around won’t happen overnight.”

Whether he can lead Toronto beyond the early playoff rounds and finally deliver the postseason success fans crave remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: a new era has begun, and it will come with both high expectations and tough decisions.
