Ahead of Game 6, coach Craig Berube reflected on his team's mindset following a tough Game 5 loss. He indicated that while nerves are natural, the players need to focus on their playing style rather than overthinking the previous game. Berube decided to leave key players Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner together, believing in their past success as a duo. The decision to switch lineup players David Kampf and Nick Robertson reflects a strategy to revitalize the team with fresh legs, aiming for a bounce-back performance.
Excited and ready to go. Go play.
You can't play that way. We've got to skate and get to our identity as a team right away.
These guys have been a combo for a long time, and they have had a lot of success. I trust them and believe in them.
We lost a couple, added some fresh guys with fresh legs, and the other guys are now rested and ready to go.
