With a regular-season record of 281-190-72 and a post-season record of 27-31, the former coach of the St. Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers hasn't had consistently dominant teams. However, his standout achievement is the 2019 Stanley Cup victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 7.
Beyond his Cup-winning experience, what sets Berube apart is his demeanor and coaching approach. After Sheldon Keefe's tenure, where collaboration with star players was evident, there's a desire for a different style in Toronto.
Fans want a coach who will hold players accountable, regardless of their high salaries, and shift the team's focus towards playoff success. Berube fits this mold, known for emphasizing relentless work ethic and aggressive forechecking, qualities that could benefit the Maple Leafs in crucial moments.
