Craig Berube on Dennis Hildeby’s performance in the Leafs’ 5-1 loss to Columbus: “He has to have the first one, but whatever… I am not going to blame the goalie… We had to score some goals”

On where the game got away from the team:

I liked our start. I thought we had a real good first period. We were down 1-0 on a shorthanded goal.

We were controlling the second period, pretty much, and were in the offensive zone. They go down with one opportunity, and they score again.

We had a lot of shot attempts, and they blocked a lot of shots, but I think we could’ve been a little bit more direct with our offense. We controlled most of the play, but it was on the outside a little bit too much.
