The Maple Leafs' game tonight against Florida will be all important, and could potentially determine the fate of their season. Captain John Tavares met with the media to share his thoughts ahead of game three, and where the Leafs' mindset is at.
Tavares Sheds Light on Toronto's Tactics
A huge storyline these last two games for Toronto has been finding ways to beat a flaming hot Sergei Bobrovsky. With the Russian goaltender stopping virtually everything that gets thrown his way, Toronto will have to get creative to beat him, and it looks like Tavares agrees.
«You want to make it as difficult as you can on the goaltender with traffic, screens, tips,» - John Tavares
Changing up tactics is a good thing, but letting your opponent know what your plan is isn't very wise. Fellow Leaf Alex Kerfoot also spoke with the media, describing game three as a «must-win» for Toronto.
With all this talk, Leafs fans will have very high expectations for their team. Let's wait and see if they can follow through.
