“We think he’s a great option for us,” Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters yesterday.
"We were tentative, we were on our heels. That's really not where we are or who we are, and that's certainly not how we've played for the last chunk of time,” Keefe said.Leafs winger Mitch Marner, who assisted all three of Toronto’s goals in Game 1, said the team has to be more disciplined on defence. The Leafs gave up four power play goals to Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
The team also says they aren’t surprised that the Lightning came out ready to play in Game 1, despite Tampa Bay’s poor play towards the end of the season. Despite allowing six goals on 29 shots before being pulled in favour of rookie net minder Joseph Woll, Ilya Samsonov will get the start in net again tonight.
