Maple Leafs new head coach rumored to be announced Monday morning
Toronto Maple Leafs fans may not have to wait much longer for their new bench boss. It's possible they might be unveiling their new coach as soon as Monday, and it could be none other than Craig Berube, who will be appointed by general manager Brad Treliving.
Now, Berube might not have the most stellar coaching record in the regular season or the playoffs, but he's got one shining achievement that speaks volumes: a Stanley Cup win in 2019 with the St. Louis Blues.
Yet it's not just the trophy on his shelf that's got Leafs fans excited. It's Berube's demeanor. His coaching style is all about grit, hard work, and that relentless pursuit of victory. That's exactly what the Leafs need to shake things up and start making some serious noise in the playoffs.
It's seen as "more likely than not" the Leafs will undergo a coaching change, with Craig Berube seen as a top candidate. The Leafs are thought to prefer a coach with more experience in the head coach role.
If Berube lands in Toronto, it could mean a whole new era for the team. Say goodbye to flashy regular-season success from the Sheldon Keefe days and hello to a gritty, playoff-ready squad. Maybe under Berube's guidance, the Leafs will finally break through and bring home that long-awaited Stanley Cup.
