Sheldon Keefe on the Leafs' penalty-filled 5-2 loss to Florida: "We played a terrific first period, and the game looks a lot worse than it is from there"

They scored early in the second period on the first shift - the momentum shifts there, and the energy changes in the game. And then we just took too many penalties.

Our penalty kill got lots of life and momentum for them. I thought we managed it really well - but there was a lot of time in our end, a lot of time with our best people sitting on our bench, and a lot of defending.

We didn't give up many scoring chances tonight - way less than in previous games despite what the shots say. But gave up too many goals, and we didn't get enough chances or finish our opportunities from there.

They got going in that second period. The crowd gets into it. They get life and momentum. I thought we had to get to another level in the game emotionally. We didn't get there. That is part of it.
