TORONTO — Sheldon Keefe's team had a decision to make.
The Maple Leafs head coach watched his players put in a terrible Game 4 performance on home ice against the Boston Bruins — one that left them sitting in a 3-1 series hole against an opponent seemingly on cruise control to the second round of the Stanley Cup tournament.
"They didn't lay down," added Keefe, whose team blocked 27 shots in Game 6 compared to Boston's 14."They didn't accept their fate. They changed it." Nylander, who missed the first three games with an undisclosed illness, was also key after providing all the offence Thursday. "We're not living in the past and we're not living in the future," Boston head coach Jim Montgomery said."We're living in the present."
