In the wake of a demoralizing 6-1 defeat to the Florida Panthers, the Toronto Maple Leafs are now facing the reality of being down 3-2 in their playoff series. Head coach Craig Berube criticized the team's performance, stating they were too tentative and failed to compete effectively. Players like Brandon Carlo and Morgan Rielly acknowledged the passionate fanbase's expectations for improvement. The team is poised to regroup as they prepare for a critical Game 6 in Florida.

Furthermore, the Leafs are assessing their goaltending situation, with Anthony Stolarz likely not traveling for the next game, leaving Joseph Woll with a subpar save percentage this postseason. Berube emphasized the necessity of pressuring Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has been formidable in the last two contests.
