"We can't worry about that or look at that. We just have to focus on the next game. You can't start looking at how many games are left. You are putting yourself in a bad spot. We have to go to Vancouver and get two points. That is what we should be focused on. Nothing else. I get it about the standings and where we are at with the games left, but it is not going to accomplish anything."
"Nobody is happy. In the end, that is the way we have to play. There were a lot of good things in the game. We can clean up a few things - mistakes that were unnecessary - but in the end, if we play like that, we will win a lot of games. I thought they battled back."
Maple Leafs dropped to 24-21-9 following a 5-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken despite controlling much of the game and showing strong effort. Unnecessary mistakes led directly to goals against, while the opponent’s goaltender made timely saves and limited scoring opportunities. Two quick second-period goals created a deficit, but the club battled back in the third and displayed an effective power play. Anthony Stolarz’s overall play improved despite conceding goals he would like back. Emphasis is on communication, leadership, staying positive, and focusing on the next game in Vancouver rather than standings or remaining games.
