Craig Berube Opens Up About His Maple Leafs Exit

from Leafs Morning Take

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Craig Berube for his first long-form interview since being fired by the Maple Leafs on May 13. Berube reflects on life after Toronto, his experience working with TSN on Canada Day, and shares his thoughts on the Leafs' offseason, explaining why he believes the team is "all in" and praising additions like Darren Raddysh. Berube also opens up about what went wrong during his tenure, discussing the impact of injuries, the team's inability to build momentum, and why he believes everyone shared responsibility. He reveals details from his exit meeting with John Chayka and Mats Sundin, explains what he would change if he had another chance behind the Leafs bench, and discusses trying to push the team's core out of its comfort zone. Plus, Berube talks about his strong relationship with Brad Treliving, coaching William Nylander, handling the pressure of the Toronto market, sheds a bit more light on the infamous weight-room incident, and shares what the interview process was like with the Edmonton Oilers. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
