Craig Berube Reveals What he Really Thinks About the Battle of Ontario

Craig Berube has done an amazing job with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season and we're sure a lot of fans can agree with a statement like that.

He helped this team win the Atlantic Division and even win 52 games which is a pretty spectacular achievement. The team looks like a Stanley Cup contender and there is no doubt that they can go far.

However, first, they must get through the Battle of Ontario, something that Berube has only witnessed starting this season.

In fact, while speaking to reporters today, the head coach had a very interesting admission about the Battle of Ontario and his role in all of it.

Ultimately, he didn't really know just how important this battle was to all of the Maple Leafs fans out there. However, after being part of the team, he realizes that there is some real hatred going on.

Maple Leafs fans could have told him exactly how far deep this goes, although it is good to see him finally catching on all of these months later.

As the series goes on, he is going to get himself a real crash course in just how intense all of this can become.

Ultimately, Game 2 is going to be a lot of fun and we cannot wait to see these two teams go at it. Hopefully, it is a game where the Leafs can come through with a win.

There is a lot going on right now between the Maple Leafs and the Senators. A lot of history and a lot of hate. But if this does one thing, it makes the sport a whole lot better.
