The Maple Leafs suffered a horrible loss last night to the Dallas Stars, and coach Craig Berube had some firey post-game comments that could get him in trouble.

Toronto Maple Leafs fell to a 4-1 loss at the hands of the Dallas Stars Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena. Still, a little frustration regarding a couple of penalties assessed to John Tavares lingers.

Craig Berube could be punished for his post-game comments

"They want to call that on John Tavares, that second penalty, but they're going to let everything else go in the game?" Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube questioned after the game. "I'm not going to get into the referees, but we're working. We're not not working. We're working."


The first came with 17:31 remaining when he was called for hooking Stars defenseman Esa Lindell. The second came at the end of a tied 1-1 period when Tavares was sent off for slashing Matt Duchene as the crowd booed.

The Stars scored on the ensuing power play when Mavrik Bourque netted the eventual winner.

Tavares wasn't about to point at the penalties as a reason for the loss, saying his team had its chances.

"I didn't like them, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control, and we've got to find a way to dig deep and then just continue to play through it," he said. "IOnly so much you can talk to the officials about, and then eventually it's got to go out there and play and do your job and then execute better."

The Leafs hit the post three times during their first power-play chance and could not beat Stars goalie Jake Oettinger, who stopped 23-of-24 shots in the win. It marked the first victory in eight tries for Dallas over Toronto since 2022.
