Craig Berube claims the Leafs weren’t ‘good enough’

During the post-game interview, Leafs head coach Craig Berube reflected on the disappointing loss. He began by explaining that the team managed to get through the early pressure in the first period.

Berube mentioned that they were still in a decent position heading into the second period but as the game went on, they struggled to handle the intensity and pressure.

“So going into the second, you know, it was more the same like the first. I mean, we just didn't handle the pressure tonight that they came with. You know, obviously wasn't good enough,” he said.

He pointed out that the most disappointing part of the series was how poorly the team performed in their home games.

“You know, I thought we did a great job fighting for home ice, had a good home record all year. You know, to me that’s the most disappointing part in the series,” he explained.

The Leafs head coach claimed that he found it perplexing how the team could play so well in Game 6 and then come home and deliver such a flat performance in Game 7.
