Travis Green, who lived through the playoffs as both a player in Toronto and a head coach in Vancouver, has a few thoughts on the Maple Leafs’ current 0-2 series deficit against the Panthers. According to Green, understanding a team’s psychological state is just as important as the tactical side of coaching in the playoffs. Former coach Bruce Boudreau adds that the Leafs need consistency and to avoid playing into Florida’s physical game. Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe recognizes the Panthers’ strong forecheck as a key factor in the series so far, but believes his team needs better puck management. Despite the pressure to win, Green believes the extra day off before Game 3 could benefit the Leafs in refreshing and refocusing their mindset. With three road wins in Tampa under their belt, the Leafs are expected to bring their best game yet in Sunday night’s pivotal matchup.
