Maple Leafs hire Craig Berube as head coach
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Friday that they hired former St. Louis Blues bench boss Craig Berube as their head coach.
Berube's contract is for four years, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
The 58-year-old led the Blues to a Stanley Cup in 2019. He replaced Mike Yeo 19 games into that campaign and sparked an incredible turnaround, as the club was in last place around midseason. He was named a Jack Adams Award finalist that season.
Berube guided St. Louis to the postseason in each of the next three seasons, losing in Round 1 in 2020 and 2021, and Round 2 in 2022. The team missed the playoffs in 2023 and fired him after a 13-14-1 start to the 2023-24 campaign.
His only other NHL head coaching experience came with the Philadelphia Flyers from 2013-15, failing to advance past the first round of the playoffs.
Berube enjoyed a 1,054-game NHL playing career from 1986-2003 as an enforcer, racking up 159 points and 3,149 penalty minutes - the latter being the seventh most all time. The Calahoo, Alberta, native played 40 games for the Leafs during the 1991-92 season.

Berube takes over for Sheldon Keefe, whom the Leafs fired after five seasons on the job.
His No. 1 task will be attempting to get Toronto over the hump in the playoffs. The Maple Leafs have made the postseason eight years in a row - tied for the longest active streak in the league - but only have one series victory to show for it. The franchise hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967.
Berube is the 32nd head coach in franchise history and the first hired during Brad Treliving's tenure as general manager.

May 17 2024 – Frank Seravalli & Jeff Paterson
Rick Tocchet's new line combinations paid off, as the Canucks put in a full team effort to beat the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5. From a stellar penalty kill that killed off all five Oilers penalties to J.T. Miller's clutch go-ahead goal with 33 seconds remaining, Phil "baby legs Di Giuseppe scoring after the birth of his child and Elias Pettersson playing much better, there were NO PASSENGERS!
Frank Seravalli from the Daily Faceoff chimes on the series so far, Miller's maturation, the Canucks shutting down the Oilers' big guns, Thatcher Demko's potential return, what Nikita Zadorov could command on his next contract & more.
Then, it's Jeff Paterson from Rink Wide: Vancouver time to opine. JPat discusses the strong special teams performance, Arturs Silovs staying composed, the defensive team buy-in, the new line combinations & more.
All of that, plus the wild story of Scottie Scheffler getting arrested, the latest on the B.C. Lions training camp, as well as your feedback in "To The People We Go."
