## Resource

Former Leafs coach Craig Berube bluntly laid the blame for the team’s playoff woes on Mitch Marner, calling him the emotional heartbeat of the roster—whose absence, he argued, sapped the team’s energy and will to fight in high-stakes moments. Berube’s candid assessment, made during a recent interview, underscores a recurring theme in Leafs’ failures: the inability to rise when it matters most. Though his tenure ended in disappointment, his fiery personality and deep insights ensure he’ll remain a polarizing, unforgettable voice in hockey—likely back behind a bench sooner than fans expect.
