The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing a daunting challenge as they fall behind the Florida Panthers in their playoff series. Chris Tanev, a standout defenseman, has surprisingly contributed positively despite the team's overall struggles, being on the ice for five shots for and only one against. Meanwhile, John Tavares has struggled greatly, with the Leafs outshot 14-3 during his shifts.

The Leafs' performance has been marred by a series of collapses, particularly in the second period, where they were outshot 27-5. The criticism from fans and commentators has been harsh, with many expressing disappointment at the team's lack of preparation and drive.

Max Domi managed to inject some life into the team with a crucial goal, but it might be too little too late with the Panthers asserting dominance. As the series progresses, the question remains: can the Leafs turn things around and finally secure a playoff victory?
