Shocking allegations emerge regarding new maple leafs head coach

The Leafs management stopped their search for a new coach and decided to hire Craig Berube. They confirmed their decision last week, and only a few days later, Berube is already under scrutiny.

Back when he was still playing in the NHL, Berube was a tough guy who liked to disturb his opponents by any means possible. Unfortunately, he took things too far in a game in 1997.
