Toronto Maple Leafs fans want one coach fired, and it's not Craig Berube

The Toronto Maple Leafs struggled at times against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, and there is one coach who the fans want to get rid of immediately.
If there has been one weakness on the Toronto Maple Leafs this season, it would have to be the team's power play, which has been absolutely atrocious.
The Leafs have a percentage of 14.1 percent, which is not enough for this team to do anything of note. If you can't get the power play going, then the team is in trouble.
Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and John Tavares are offensive juggernauts, but they can't seem to get anything going, regardless of all the changes being made.
With that in mind, there is one man who is responsible for the power play, and the Leafs fanbase is already calling for him to be fired.
Maple Leafs fans are done with Marc Savard
That man just so happens to be none other than Marc Savard. While Savard was a great player with the Boston Bruins, he has not been an amazing coach.
As you can see from the tweets below, there are a lot of fans out there who believe he is the biggest problem with the coaching staff right now.
There were calls for Craig Berube to be fired a few months ago, but those calls have subsided over the last little while. Now, the target is Savard.
We highly doubt Savard will go this season, as it would set a bad precedent to get rid of a coach on the staff without anyone else being let go.
Regardless, the Maple Leafs' power play is not very good right now, and something needs to be done in order for the team to get back on track.
At a certain point, the team will have no choice but to make some moves, and perhaps bringing in another player will be the proper channel for change.
