The Toronto Maple Leafs are about to finish a historic season, for the worse. Despite the streak of poor results, head coach Craig Berube has good things to say, especially for the fans of the Canadian franchise.
Toronto could not hold its 3-0 first-period lead and lost 6-5 to Dallas on Monday at Scotiabank Arena.
Even with this poor result, Leafs fans did not disappoint in their support for their team. Coach Berube took a moment to speak about it after the game.
"The support in Toronto is fabulous. It's been fabulous as long as I can remember," he said. "It's going to continue to be fabulous. It's a great hockey market. It is a great sports town. The fans are awesome here. I talk about it all the time. This is a special place."
