Now, months after the decision was finalized, former assistant coach to the Toronto Maple Leafs Dallas Eakins has finally shared his thoughts on the team's decision to hire Craig Berube. In his recent appearance on The Leafs Nation's podcast, he expressed a newfound hope that Toronto can finally turn around their luck and bring home another Cup.
Dallas Eakins is no stranger to head coaching, having spent two years behind the bench for the Edmonton Oilers and four for the Anaheim Ducks. Though he is now behind the bench in Germany, he is still clued in on what is working in the NHL, and he clearly believes Craig Berube has the chance to put Toronto back on that list. Hopefully, he is right, otherwise, it could be a longer dry spell for the Maple Leafs.
