Craig Berube, head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has given his take on the team's powerplay woes, putting the blame squarely at the feet of the players
In case you've missed it, the Toronto Maple Leafs' powerplay isn't just bad this year, it flat out stinks. In fact, after going 0-4 with the man advantage last night in a loss against the St. Louis Blues, the Maple Leafs dropped to dead last in the NHL when it comes to the powerplay. 3 goals in 38 chances, which is a success rate of just 8.3 percent.
Craig Berube is excellent at holding his players accountable when there are problems. However, it is entirely up to the players whether they respond. The Maple Leafs powerplay has been bad for a while, and there's absolutely no reason for it given the talent and money included in the lineup every night. Players need to hold themselves accountable as well.
