Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube is hoping for a huge Game 7 from his players, and after Game 6, he made a powerful statement that should resonate.
Craig Berube got to watch his team put on a sensational performance against the Florida Panthers on Friday night as they won 2-0 with their backs up against the wall.
Ultimately, there are a lot of reasons to be excited if you are a Leafs fan right now. A Game 7 is coming up on home ice, and a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals is on the line.
However, the Leafs have to realize that they need to bring it on Sunday. They can't just sit back and let things happen. They must put in a huge effort to keep this season going.
Craig Berube motivates the Toronto Maple Leafs
After Game 6, Craig Berube made that very apparent in his post-game press conference. It was here that he offered some commentary that must resonate with his players.
«Everything's on the line.»
This is absolutely true. Players like Mitch Marner and John Tavares are fighting for their futures with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
A loss in Game 7 likely means that we do not see them in Maple Leafs jerseys ever again. However, an Eastern Final appearance would justify running this back again.
Meanwhile, Joseph Woll is battling for the number one starting job for the rest of the playoffs as well as future seasons.
Not to mention, Auston Matthews has to prove that he can get it done in the big moments and that he really does deserve to be the captain of this team.
If the Toronto Maple Leafs can manage all of that, then there is a real chance that they prove the world wrong. However, a loss is just yet another example of this team falling short.
