I don\u2019t need to learn anything more about our team, I know about our team, and they\u2019re capable of doing it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, the Leafs have allowed more goals than any team in the Eastern Conference, and are tied for the third-worst mark in the league overall. Injuries haven\u2019t helped the heam, with <strong>Joseph Woll<\/strong> and <strong>Anthony Stolarz<\/strong> both missing time, and neither having an easy outing during the homestand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, Berube isn\u2019t looking elsewhere for answers in net.
