Toronto failed to respond to its loss in Game 3 against Boston, leading to a demoralizing Game 4 defeat, putting them on the brink of elimination.
Frustration boiled over as Mitch Marner faced criticism from teammates Matthews and Nylander, highlighting internal conflicts within the Maple Leafs.
"We expect a lot from each other and we love each other," Nylander said, explaining the intense interactions among teammates as a means to push each other to excel.
With Matthews ill and uncertainty for Game 5, the pressure shifts to Marner and Nylander to carry the team and save their playoff hopes against the Bruins.
