Keefe caught watching the Bruins during the Lightning game last night
During the Toronto Maple Leafs game versus the Tampa Bay Lightning last night, Sheldon Keefe may have been interested in something else happening, as he was caught watching another game.
At this time in the season, the regular season doesn't really mean much. Sure, it has some impacts on individual awards, as players like Auston Matthews and Nikita Kucherov battle to improve their resume for MVP. However, the ultimate goal of these games is really to just get out healthy, and not develop any major bad habits heading into the playoffs.
It appears that rings true for the Coaching Staff as well. After the game, Sheldon Keefe admitted that he was watching video of another team during the intermission, likely the Leafs' first-round matchup the Boston Bruins.
Now that the Leafs have gotten through the regular season, all eyes are on how they might perform in the postseason. It is hard to ignore the fact that they had success in getting out of the first round last year, however, that is often overshadowed by just how different the team's look and playstyle is this year. While the Leafs have struggled a bit down the stretch of the regular season, its likely they will turn it on come Saturday.
