Craig Berube on the Maple Leafs' wild 4-3 win in Edmonton: "We let them come at us too much, but a win's a win... Woll was great, and the guys battled"
Briefly

Craig Berube expressed mixed feelings after the Maple Leafs' 4-3 victory against the Edmonton Oilers, emphasizing the need for more aggressive play despite the win. He praised Woll's performance and acknowledged the tough competition from the Oilers, particularly the McDavid-Draisaitl duo. Berube discussed strategic calls during the game, including a critical timeout regarding an offside decision, and provided an update on Oliver Ekman-Larsson's injury, noting a day-to-day status. He stressed the importance of defensive roles in effectively managing star players during the match.
We got the lead, and I thought we could've made a harder push. We let them come at us too much. They are a very good team; we know that, and they have great players.
If we win the challenge, the goalie is coming, and we talked about what we are doing at 6-on-5. We had the puck and could've scored on an empty net, but it didn't happen.
Right now, day-to-day. We have to evaluate him a little bit more. It is a lower-body (injury). We will see where he is at tomorrow.
Our D did a really good job against them. Which forwards were out there tried to stay on them and get above them, not giving them too much time or space.
