Once again, the second period was a disaster. We questioned the goalie interference challenge. It went from 1-0 Leafs to 2-1 Devils in the blink of an eye. From there, the Leafs chased the game for the rest of the night. There were too many odd man rushes."

Additionally, he gave his thoughts on where they go from here, his view on the Stolarz outburst in the media after the Kraken game, and the weird goalie interference challenge."
