The Toronto Maple Leafs are on the verge of completing a clean sweep against the Ottawa Senators in the playoff series. Despite the Senators switching home matchups, the Leafs' defensive depth has been effective, allowing successful matchups, particularly for star players Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. The game plan focuses on avoiding penalties and maintaining control at five-on-five, given the Senators' struggles to generate offense. Coach Travis Green acknowledges the psychological challenge of being down 3-0 despite his team's close games, emphasizing the need for belief and strategy execution to avoid further losses.
It is hard when you lose two games in overtime. Everyone is telling them, 'Hey, you could be up 2-1 quite easily.' That is reality, but the reality is, we are not.
If the Leafs win the matchup again, Ottawa will really struggle to survive it.
