It is no secret that the new head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs Craig Berube was the heavy favorite for the job all along after his hiring video clips have surfaced showing why that is.
The Toronto Maple Leafs once again failed to bring home a crucial win when the pressure was cranked up. This led to the firing of Sheldon Keefe. After his firing, many fans and media felt the need for a more hard-nosed head coach that can hold players accountable.
Along comes Craig Berube who was the head coach of the 2019 St. Louis Blues when they won the Stanley Cup. His coaching style has always been known as hard-nosed but honest with his players. Similar in ways to John Tortorella loyal to his players but not afraid to call them out.
Recently two video clips have surfaced showing these sides perfectly. The first clip shows Craig Berube holding players accountable during moments when they were not playing up to expectations.
"They're getting paid lots of money and they're not doing their job. End of story."
St. Louis Blues head coach Craig Berube did not hold back when talking about his disappointment in the team's best players.
