## Resource

Craig Berube’s candid admission that he failed as Leafs coach by soft-pedaling star players instead of pushing them hard enough has sent shockwaves through the organization. Once seen as a transformative leader with Stanley Cup pedigree and management backing, Berube now takes full responsibility for the team’s collapse — blaming himself for not demanding more from Matthews, Nylander, and the roster. His exit clears the way for Jim Hiller, who must heed Berube’s warning: the Leafs can’t be a “country club” if they want to win. Hiller’s first season hinges on embracing discomfort, demanding accountability, and turning pressure into performance — or risk repeating history.
