Sheldon Keefe drops a banger of a quote when asked about Game 7
Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe dropped one of the best quotes of the series against the Bruins yet, when asked about the emotions of coaching in a Game 7.
For the second game in a row, the Toronto Maple Leafs extended their season after a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins last night. The win not only forced a Game 7 on Saturday night, but also ended a six-game home losing streak in the playoffs for the Leafs.
Following the game, Keefe was asked about the emotions of coaching in a Game 7, something that the Leafs have not faired well with in recent years, losing their last five.
So, how does Keefe view his upcoming task in Game 7 in Boston? He actually had a great outlook on it.
Keefe and the Leafs are looking to do the same thing the Florida Panthers did to the Bruins last post-season, erasing a 3-1 series deficit and stealing a Game 7 win on the road.
While the Leafs have lost their last five Game 7's as mentioned, the Bruins have not faired much better going 0-3 and not winning a Game 7 since defeating the Leafs in 2019, so something has to give.
The Leafs may get a boost for game seven as Keefe confirmed before the game that there is the possibility of an Auston Matthews return on Saturday, so that will be something to keep an eye on as well.
