Brad Treliving on the Maple Leafs' recent downturn: "Completely disappointed in the homestand that took place"

"Well, we have a big game tonight. Let's call a spade a spade. It hasn't been a good week. It wasn't a good homestand. As you have to do in this business, you park it, and you worry about the one that is in front of you. That is the one here tonight. That is where the focus will be."

"We had fits and starts throughout the homestand, but the consistency level was not where we needed it to be, especially against the teams coming in. It just wasn't good enough. We knew the critical point and juncture of the season we were in. There is no excuse for it. We didn't perform well enough to win games. You continue to watch and evaluate."

Brad Treliving expressed clear disappointment in the Maple Leafs' recent downturn, calling the homestand flat and inconsistent. The team exhibited fits and starts, lacking the sustained performance needed, particularly against visiting teams. Treliving emphasized that there is no excuse for failing to perform at critical junctures of the season and that management will continue to watch and evaluate individual games and moments. He stressed the need to park past results and focus entirely on the upcoming game, making immediate performance the priority as the organization attempts to course-correct.
