Leafs' Players Are Grateful Keefe Is Letting Them Have Fun Again.

The Toronto Maple Leafs finally got back on track last night and ended their depressing losing streak. It was clearly in large part thanks to the coaching change as the Leafs' went from looking disengaged to full of energy. One of the happiest players clearly was defenseman Tyson Barrie. Barrie had looked like a fraction of the player he was in Colorado and finally looked like the guy that Kyle Dubas traded for during the summer. «We had a lot of fun out there tonight,» Barrie said. «I think it showed. … It was almost like a fresh start. He was really positive and made a couple changes that I think helped us big time.«I think (the changes are) a bit mental and a bit tactical. That style that we played tonight, you're going to see a lot more of it.»Barrie even went so far as to say it was a "new lease" on his hockey life. Sheldon Keefe scoring that goal is a step in the right direction and he's going to continue working with him. «Tyson is a guy we're trying to mix things up a little bit with here and get him going. Today, obviously, the goal is a big weight off his shoulders. We're going to continue to try to do those things.»
