Sheldon Keefe Reveals What Motivated His Players to Win Game 4
Yesterday, the Maple Leafs did what many people tought they weren't going to be able to: win a game against Florida.
Now, they're only three wins away to reach the conference finals.
However, Keefe and the players are going at it one game at a time.
Sheldon Keefe Reveals What Motivated His Players to Win Game 4
The team had a precise goal coming into last game: going back to Toronto for game five.
Here's what the coach said after the Leafs won game four in Florida:
"We wanted to bring it back to Toronto. We want to make the opposition a little bit uncomfortable. They have to pack their stuff and fly to Toronto tomorrow. So we've done that and now we have to work towards bringing it back here."
They'll have a big challenge ahead of them, as they failed to win a single game with the ice advantage since the second round started.
But with their backs against the wall, they might just surprise us all and win.
