Fans furious after disturbing info on Craig Berube is released
Some Toronto Maple Leafs fans are furious after disturbing informations on new head coach Craig Berube got released on social media.
The Leafs management stopped to look for a new coach and decided to hire Craig Berube. They confirmed their decision last week, and only a few days later, Berube is already under scrutiny.
Back when he was still playing in the NHL, Berube was a tough guy who liked to disturb his opponents by any means possible. Unfortunately, he took things too far in a game in 1997.
Berube was suspended one game for using racial slur against an opponent.
Here's what the Los Angeles Times wrote when the incident occured:
While such a thing is unacceptable today, he apologized and served his time. In no way does it affect his capabilities to coach the Toronto Maple Leafs and lead them to a Stanley Cup.
However, if it happens again, there's no doubt that major consequences will come his way, just like what we're seeing with the Edmonton Oilers' assistant coach and NHL legend Paul Coffey, who is currently under investigation for a racist gesture he did during a recent game:
