Berube: Sharks Breakouts Will be Key
- Updated: June 3, 2016
For additional insight into the Stanley Cup Final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks, NHL.com has enlisted the help of Craig Berube to break down the action. Berube will be checking in throughout the series.
Berube, 50, was coach of the Philadelphia Flyers from 2013-15. He was a Flyers assistant for six seasons prior to being promoted to coach Oct. 7, 2013. The Flyers were 75-58-28 under Berube. They made the Stanley Cup Playoffs and lost to the Rangers in the first round in 2014.
SAN JOSE — Breakouts are the key for the San Jose Sharks to have success against the Pittsburgh Penguins on home ice and make this Stanley Cup Final a long series.
Former Philadelphia Flyers coach Craig Berube said he feels the Sharks were too stretched out as a five-man unit when they were trying break out of the defensive zone in Game 2, a 2-1 overtime loss. It created problems for them that they need to fix in Game 3 at SAP Center on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).
“I thought that their defense was making long plays all game,” Berube said. “It seemed like they didn’t have good support in close. They fired it up to the red line a lot of times, but there was a Penguins player on them and it kind of got broken up, so the puck possession was not very good coming out of their own end. They need closer puck support.”
