Sheldon Keefe on the Leafs overcoming a sleepy start in Montreal: "We started playing with a lot more pace and simplicity [in the second period]... When we do that, we are a lot to deal with"
Briefly

I just thought we started playing with a lot more pace and simplicity to our game. When we do that, we are a lot to deal with. That segment of time was enough for us to win the game tonight.
Get through them. Get through them with good habits and good detail while trying to stay healthy. That is really it. Stay on top of the habits that allow us to keep going. We want to do it with good habits and feel good about our game.
Our game didn't have much flow to it tonight at all or for any of the lines. Montreal played us well tonight. They played us hard and put pressure on our defense. It was a real struggle to get out of our zone in periods one and three.
It is a possibility. It is not ruled out. There is a chance. It would probably just be those last two games. That would be in consideration. It is a possibility.
