Craig Button

Here's our TSN director of scouting, Craig Button, joining us on the Maple Toyota Hotline.

Craig, where do you stand on the perceived disconnect, the coach, the room, how Craig Berube maybe handles this down the stretch?

Yes.

I dare you to knock it off.

Exactly.

See his smile?

No, you're right.

It doesn't happen.

Yeah, it doesn't happen.

You're right, and that's precisely what's happening here, and it's not exclusive to hockey.

Every single sport's the same thing.

The position Berube's in, where I'm sure he's been around the game for 40 years.

He knows the way the things work, and I'm sure he's kind of aware of what is possibly waiting for him in five or six weeks.

If you're the GM, we're...

He is under, I would say, a very similar microscope and probably on the same precarious ground right now, and I'm speaking of Brad Treeliving.

But how often are the GM and the coach talking about trying to get to the finish line with some class here, trying to keep everything on the rails?

How can they handle this behind the scenes?

With Craig Button.

So, Craig, we play a game called Role Play Level of Concern on this show.

I'm sure you're aware of it.
