Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube understands how important it is to have a good start to the season, and this has led to a drastic decision early.
Craig Berube has been a great head coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs. What sets him apart from other coaches is the fact that he demands accountability.
When players aren't pulling their weight, he makes sure to let them know. It makes the team better, especially during periods where the team isn't playing well.
On Saturday, Berube and the Leafs lost bad to the Detroit Red Wings, and it has caused a lot of panic throughout the fanbase.
Clearly, Berube isn't happy with what he's seeing, because on Sunday, he decided to make a drastic decision that could course-correct going forward.
Craig Berube calls a team meeting
While speaking to Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun, Berube noted that the team held a meeting to make sure everyone was on the same page.
We had a good, hard meeting today. I don't care what time of year it is. We have to make sure we're all bought into playing the right way.
One bad game had Craig Berube wanting to make a change, and that is extremely admirable when you really think about it.
The head coach could have easily just been content with brushing this to the side and focusing on today's rematch against the Red Wings.
Instead, he made sure to do what he felt was right. He wants the team to be committed to the game plan, and this could put the team on course.
With back-to-back games coming up, there is no denying that the Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot of pressure on them. A loss today could generate a week of headlines.
