The Maple Leafs had their first playoff practice Saturday, where the positives were emphasized ahead of recent post\u002Dseason failures.
“It makes your group stronger when you go through those. We’ll look to draw from those things in our past.”
“Part of our conversations today was talking about our game, how we’ve worked our way to this point, what’s made us a strong team,” captain John Tavares said. “Understanding what’s brought us success and how we’ve grown. It was great to reinforce the type of team we are, our identity.”The bigger hex the Leafs can’t sweep under the blue carpet in their dressing room is a league-record 55 years without a Stanley Cup.
Keefe spread the Leafs over three practice pads, goalies, defencemen, elite forwards and some bottom sixers, for a series of skill drills, calling it “a day for the body,” with others doing off-ice workouts.
