The Toronto Maple Leafs have ended their search for a head coach as they named Craig Berube the 32nd head coach in franchise history. Berube was most recently the head coach of the St. Louis Blues, having been relieved of that position in the middle of December. He’ll now be in charge of the team with the most tortured fanbase in all of professional sports (just ask them, they’ll tell you).
Berube does have something that the previous head coach, Sheldon Keefe, didn’t have – his name on the Stanley Cup. In his first season with the Blues, Berube directed them to the Cup (the first of Pat Maroon’s three-in-a-row) by riding a hot goaltender and timely scoring.
