Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews looks on during a break in third period NHL Stanley Cup playoff hockey action against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Toronto, on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenetteDespite their disastrous showing in Game 1, the Leafs are confident they can regain the “swagger” they’ve played with all year – insisting they weren’t themselves in the series’ opening game.
“Too many penalties on our part – undisciplined – letting that power play get rolling is a bad thing to do. We’ve got to protect our net better as well [and] just play a better defensive game,” he told reporters yesterday. "I don't think anything surprised us. We know what type of team they are,” said Leafs defenceman Mark Giordano.Keefe said the Leafs have been a good bounce-back team all year and expects his players to come out with renewed focus tonight."The emotions go both ways in a playoff series. It's about us just regrouping, refocusing here, and [understanding] the importance of [tonight’s] game.
