Craig Berube's latest comments could get him in trouble with the NHL

The Toronto Maple Leafs came through with a huge victory against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night, which puts them within seven points of a playoff spot.

It was a final score of 4-2, and for the most part, the Maple Leafs looked extremely impressive throughout the game. However, there was one thing missing.

The team did not get a single power-play opportunity. In fact, they have just one opportunity in the last six periods. They've also gone without a power play in three of their last four games.

Berube's frustration with the situation is starting to boil over, and after last night's game, he made some comments that can be left up to interpretation.

When asked why the Maple Leafs are not getting power play opportunities, he started off by claiming that he had no earthly idea why. He then immediately went back on that statement, saying he knows why, but refuses to say.

This can be interpreted as Berube shifting the blame to the referees. For years now, the Leafs have been officiated in a biased manner, and that goes all the way to the top of the NHL Department of Player Safety.

Berube is trying to keep quiet because he knows that if he says anything too strong, there is a realistic chance that the NHL will end up fining him.

He is trying to walk a tight rope here, and you cannot blame the guy for wanting to avoid any problems with his bosses at the National Hockey League.

Having said that, Berube needs to get ready for tonight, as his team looks to take on the Edmonton Oilers in what should be a phenomenal game.
