Berube obviously had some success with the Blues, but the make up of that roster is vastly different than what the Leafs currently have. Not sure how his style will fit with that group.
Maple Leafs hire Craig Berube as head coach, Lane Lambert as associate coach and Marc Savard as assistant coach

Mitchy Rich is going to need to beef up his security detail again.
Damn. Going to have to stop laughing at the Leafs annual failures and hope for them to succeed. That’ll be weird.
Go Chief.
Go Chief.
He has too much experience in the NHL, we need a fresher look, my cousin is coaching bantam AE in Iqaluit and has had good success (4th/6 teams), the Leafs should hire him

Marner most likely moving on but he probably did shed a tear or two when he heard this news. Still can't believe Keefe had to apologize after he called out the core 4 when they played bad against Arizona 2 years ago

Guy Boucher's last head coach job was 5 years ago when he lost the locker room in the most spectacular fashion. The entire Sens coaching staff was continually disrespected and ignored.
He then spent years in TV purgatory before finding a job running the Leafs power play. Thanks to his expertise, the Leafs scored **checks notes** 1 goal in 21 pp opportunities these last playoffs.
Is this really what the Leafs want at this point?

Posted precisely at 5pm on a Friday. There’s something funny about that.

A proper f***ing newsdump, like Toronto always does. That must suck for the fans.

Misleading title thread,
Craig Berube far down the road to be next Maple Leafs head coach
According to multiple sources, Elliotte Friedman reports the Maple Leafs are far down the road to hiring Craig Berube as head coach.www.sportsnet.ca
Edit: went from speculation next week to hired. Isn’t Friday at 5 pm est, when you drop bad news lol.

Suddenly Berube will be the worst coach around here.

They have done the Friday 5pm newsdump with Berube, with the Marner contract (actually that was like 7pm), with the Matthews contract...
It's the way they do things. Which is kinda crazy, a team owned by two big media companies and they absolutely want no media talking about this stuff when it's oven fresh.

Well you better hope they do. Because they didn't when Gallant was with the Rangers.

He's going to have an aneurysm watching the core four on most nights. Granted it won't be the 4 anymore.

I'm just glad it wasn't Todd McLellan.

Rangers fan here telling you that gallant wouldn’t have been a good hire either.
