Sheldon Keefe Post Game, Leafs 2 vs. Lighting 1 (OT): “I think there are a lot of things we can take away from what we saw from the back-to-back champs tonight… I also like that our guys remained committed to it right to the very end”

On the team’s performance:

We were a little shy in the first period. We didn’t assert ourselves at all in the game. I thought we made some adjustments going into the second period. I liked a lot of things about our second period. We didn’t get rewarded with a goal. You are still trailing.

We fully expected Tampa to lock it down in the third period. We have seen that a ton from them through their successes in the playoffs. They did exactly that. We didn’t have a whole lot happening in that third period other than good goaltending to keep it at 1-0.
