Craig Berube on goals for his second season behind the Leafs' bench: "We can be tougher than we were... We have to get our players to take another step"

"Berube: Well, there is familiarity, right? You spend a year here, so you know the guys, and you know the organization and how things work. For sure, there is a little bit of familiarity, which helps. I am excited and ready to go. That feeling hasn't changed for me over the years. You come into camp, and you see all of the guys skating and preparing. It is a really exciting time for me."

"Berube: That is all part of it here. We all know that. I understand it. To be honest with you, I didn't have an issue with it last year. Yeah, there is a lot, and there are a lot of questions to answer. There is a lot of media here, but it is part of the job. I understood that coming in. You just have to deal with it, do your best, and give them what they need. It is all part of the job."
