The Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper recently shared his thoughts on the Toronto Maple Leafs' decision to hire Craig Berube as their new head coach. <h3>Toronto Maple Leafs make a strategic choice with Berube</h3> In Toronto, the Maple Leafs made a crucial decision a few weeks ago, replacing Sheldon Keefe with Craig Berube. Berube, who has been involved in the NHL for nearly 40 years, is well-respected across the league. Jon Cooper, head coach of the Lightning, expressed his admiration for Berube in a recent interview on Leafs Morning Take. Cooper acknowledged the challenge of competing against a friend but highlighted Berube's ability to maximize his players' potential. He also commented on Sheldon Keefe's performance and the fresh perspective Berube will bring to the Maple Leafs. In his own words: <q>I have a solid friendship with him. I hate when these guys come into our division and I'm buddies with them. But I think he's a hell of a coach. I think he gets the best out of his players.</q> <q>Honestly, I thought Sheldon Keefe did a heck of a job there. We played him the last two years in the playoffs and they were a hard team. But Craig will be a different voice for them.</q> <q>He's an honest coach. If fans of the team want to get the most out of their players and have them... I know the way he's going to play and it's going to be hard to play against. But the one thing he'll make sure he gets out of the guys is an honest effort. That's what Craig does.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/evandoerfler/status/1796932894096552258'> </a></blockquote></div> Craig Berube's extensive experience and reputation as an effective coach are expected to bring a new dynamic to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
