Craig Berube on the keys for the Maple Leafs vs. the Panthers' Sam Bennett & Brad Marchand line: "You have to be careful with taking the extra shot or swing... That is what they want, and you can't get drawn into it"
Briefly

Head coach Craig Berube spoke about preparing for the matchup against the Panthers in a rapid practice after travel and back-to-back games. Highlighting the challenges posed by the Panthers, he emphasized the need for solid play in all areas and the importance of not getting drawn into their disruptive tactics, especially with physical players like Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett on their roster. The team must initiate their plays and remain disciplined to succeed against such a tough opponent.
We thought the best thing was coming out for a quick skate, getting moving a little bit, getting back to the rink, and getting ready for tomorrow.
This team is going to check you, and they are a hard team to play against. There is no doubt that there is not a lot of room out there.
