Sheldon Keefe Makes a Hopeless Statement After His Teams' Brutal Loss to the Boston Bruins
It would've been nice for Leafs fans if they could have squeezed in one more win before the all-star break.
Instead, the generational Boston Bruins wiped their spirits and filled their scoreboard with a commanding 5-2 victory.
Instead of trying to rally the troops, head coach Sheldon Keefe admitted his teams' deficiencies against the far superior Bruins.
Over the course of the season, it is significant. They just stay with it. They are 40 goals better than every team in the NHL. It is a significant gap between them and the rest of the league when you look at the season in its entirety to this point.
When you are in the game, you are right there. That is what is tough. Certainly, in Boston and again tonight, we are right there.
The difference between being right there and winning the game and being on the right side of it is significant. It is a significant challenge and hurdle. That team is dialed in, focused, competing, and working. They make it hard.
The Leafs are going to get a whole lot better if they want to get past the Bruins in the playoffs � that is, if they even get past the first round.
