Craig Berube on coaching in Toronto: “I find the Maple Leafs have a target on their back every night… It is a tough night every night with the Leafs”

What sort of intensity are you expecting in this game tonight?

Berube: Florida brings that certain game element — hard forechecking team, in your face all game, and there is not a lot of room out there. That is what I expect. They are going to dump pucks in and forecheck. They are tight on you. They don’t give you a lot of time and space out there.

It is going to be a battle. On your wall battles, you need close support. You have to simplify the game against this team.

Is the way Florida plays the type of system you’ve tried to implement, or at least pieces of it?
