Putting the pressure on Leafs head coach Craig Berube, Kypreos spoke openly on a potential concern that the Toronto Maple Leafs have that has become a serious issue for the team in recent games.
Kypreos notes that as the season goes on, teams have to adapt and find new ways to win as old methods start to become predictable and the players will need to adjust accordingly.
For him, the Toronto Maple Leafs may have one issue that could make winning difficult in the coming months if things aren't fixed.
Nick Kypreos called out the Toronto Maple Leafs on their struggles in recent games, seeing certain aspects of their game that are cause for concern.
The former Maple Leaf pointed specifically to the team's offence, saying the Leafs need to change up what they're doing or be left behind when it matters:
The comments make clear that it's up to Craig Berube to be different in how he goes about his game plan, warning against sticking to one style.
On the player's end, it will be the job of execution, proving they can be versatile on the ice and comfortable with change.
Toronto is currently 12th in goals scored leaguewide, something that, while a positive for most teams, is a concern for the Leafs, who have consistently been in the top ten in the past few years.
The Leafs have also struggled with a lack of offensive help from their depth players. The team have just six players with 10 or more goals, and eight skaters with less than ten points with at least 10 games played.
Although on the ice the Leafs are lacking a necessary offensive punch that may require a trade to add to their lack of scoring, it's made clear that for Craig Berube, it's adapt your weaknesses or they'll come back to bite you when it counts.
