Sheldon Keefe Post Game, Panthers 5 vs. Leafs 2: “We played a terrific first period, and the game looks a lot worse than it is from there”

On where the game went wrong:

They scored early in the second period on the first shift — the momentum shifts there, and the energy changes in the game. And then we just took too many penalties. It took away from what I thought was a pretty good hockey game for us.

Our penalty kill got lots of life and momentum for them. There were no real scoring chances — I thought we managed it really well — but there was a lot of time in our end, a lot of time with our best people sitting on our bench, and a lot of defending.
