The Toronto Maple Leafs will need to show their teeth if they hope to even their series against the Florida Panthers tonight.
“The offence just hasn’t been there,” head coach Sheldon Keefe said Thursday ahead of Game 2.
“Defensively, they actually haven’t given up very much more than anything they ever gave up in the regular season. But look at their numbers as a whole, it looks bad…Offence is lacking," Keefe continued.
The Leafs responded to the Panther’s two goals in Game 1 to tie it -- before giving up two unanswered goals in the second and third periods due to what TSN radio host Matt Cauz described as sloppy play.
“There were turnovers all over the place,” Cauz said Thursday morning. “If they just really cleaned things up, get a little more dangerous on the powerplay, they should be fine tonight.”
Here's a recap of the game.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are now down 0-2 in their second-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers after losing 3-2 in Game 2.
