Craig Berube's experience in hockey playoffs shapes his view on the Toronto Maple Leafs' current challenges. As they face a critical Game 6 against the Ottawa Senators, Berube emphasizes that the pressure shouldn't solely rest on the 'Core Four' players—Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and John Tavares. Instead, he notes that playoff success is a collective effort, highlighting the team's need to overcome past failures, particularly their 1-13 record in elimination games since 2017.

Defenseman Morgan Rielly acknowledges the team's struggle to execute, particularly in key areas such as breakouts and managing the pace of the game. Despite recent losses, the Leafs remain poised to advance, and Berube believes the focus should be on teamwork and execution rather than dwelling on past playoff ghosts. With a fifth game loss behind them, Toronto must draw on their experiences and elevate their performance to capitalize on their current series lead.
