Sheldon Keefe is already making excuses after game one
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe is already pointing fingers after the team's loss in Game 1 of the playoffs against the Boston Bruins.
Keefe blamed the absence of player William Nylander for their performance, saying,
"We didn't handle it very well tonight... Certainly missed him."
He also mentioned that Nylander's absence didn't excuse the team's mistakes, such as bad penalties and defensive zone breakdowns.
