Craig Berube Hilariously Puts the Ottawa Senators and the Referees on Blast After Game 1
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube had some interesting comments about the Ottawa Senators and the referees following the team's Game 1 blowout.
Overall, Craig Berube coached himself a fantastic game against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night as his team won by a score of 6-2.
It was the kind of game you love to watch as a fan as the Senators unraveled and the Toronto Maple Leafs took advantage at every occasion. They scored goals on the power play and even got timely saves.
However, officiating was definitely a concern in this match as some felt like the Leafs were being given way too many liberties and freebies.

On the other hand, the Leafs felt like they should have gotten a five-minute power play after the head shot cross-check from Ridly Greig on John Tavares.
After making numerous comments about the officiating and the Senators conduct last night, Berube decided to tell the media to "call the league" if they really want concrete answers.
"Call the league."
After repeatedly stating that the Ridly Greig cross-check decision wasn't his decision, and that it was the league's decision, Leafs HC Craig Berube had one final comment before leaving his presser.

Berube certainly makes a good point and you can't help but feel his pain given how inconsistent the league can be as it pertains to certain things.
However, the Leafs are up 1-0 in their first-round series and this is a good spot to be in. The Senators looked out of their element last night and the Leafs took advantage.
Now, they must keep their foot on the gas and try to put this series away as quickly as possible. They cannot let the Sens feel as though they have a chance.
Game 2 goes down on Tuesday and there is no doubt that every Leafs fan will be watching very intently.
