They did a segment where Berube gives an evil eye to the coach every time.

  1. The coach needs to stay calm and collective. A goals not a win and he knows it.

  2. I think the thought is that you wanna maintain a middle ground to be most effective. You wouldn’t want him breaking sticks on the bench if they got scored on. Same thing just on the other side of things. Don’t get too low during the “lows”, and don’t get too high during the “highs”. Business as usual no matter what.

  3. Coach should be thinking ahead. A goal is scored—he’s thinking next “what will the opponent do now”

  4. To look cool, calm and collected.

    Also most pro coaches have probably celebrated a goal or a significant lead in their career only to end up losing in the end, and they’ve learned their lesson to keep the celebration for after the buzzer.

  5. A good team leads themselves. A great coach understands that and never takes credit because it’s not him it’s them always. He may have rules and standards but that’s what the team aspires to. They don’t want to be a Leaf because it’s easy, they want to be a Leaf because it’s hard.

  6. I never got excited about the goals. I got excited when buzzer went off and we won.

  7. Don’t really think it is. But they don’t celebrate as hard as players because they aren’t players. But they are allowed to show an emotion after a goal…

  8. Y’all’s coaches ain’t celebrating your team’s moments of success??

  10. Wasn’t this game 1 vs Ottawa (or one of the early games?).
    Kinda early to be celebrating like that.

  12. “Dont want the highs too high or the lows too low”.

    That paired with

    “Lead by example”

    =

    Stay as neutral as you can so your boys can look to you as a rock.

  13. My take is that a coach should know a goal is coming. They manage the plays, they manage the personnel, they manage the players on the ice. Goal scoring should be the expectation, not a surprise. 

  14. Because his boss (Berube) told him to keep it down after the first goal.

  18. It’s not frowned on. Berube frowns on it.

    And like, let’s understand the context. Berube was brought in by a franchise that was stuck in first gear. He’s there to see them, AT LEAST, to the conference finals. At least. A goal, is great, but it’s not mission accomplished.

  22. Because it’s Berube and also at that point you’re immediately thinking about the next move and only have so much time until the next face off

  24. Celebrating highs means he criticizes lows. A negative reaction from coaching staff has a negative effect on the team. Not a comforting presence.

  25. Act like you been there before. Celebrate winning the war not the battle.

  30. Berube was on the ice for so many scored against him or with him in the sin bin he never got a chance to celebrate. Marc Savard on the other hand knew how to put the biscuit in the basket

  33. Coaching is **incredibly** stressful. The coach knows how quickly that goal can be negated and he needs to keep the team sharp.

    His mind is already on who’s going out next and what message they need to hear.

  34. One goal means nothing… names on a cup are worth celebrating.

  35. Love the passion from Savvy. He’s actually a cheerleader/mascot, not a coach!

  36. Depends on the coach. Some celebrate, some don’t. Dean Evason likes to punch the other coaches when we score a big goal. But that’s just Dean being Dean.
    Just because a coach does or doesn’t celebrate doesn’t indicate anything about his coaching skills, so I’d say let the man mean mug everyone if he so feels 😅

  37. Berube knows damn well that the Leafs can easily blow a lead and fail to put away a series.

  38. I loved watching Dean Evason celebrate on the bench when he was in Minnesota. He used to beat the crap out of Darby Hendrickson.

  41. My guess is you don’t celebrate until the game is over looks stupid to celebrate then lose the game just my thought
