The Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets held limited media availabilities on Sunday ahead of Game 5.
The Leafs showed great resilience to survive on Friday, but it will mean very little if they fall short in Game 5. And the coach and the captain aren't shying away from just how significant tonight's game is for the maturation of the group. "A lot of yesterday was trying to turn the page and realize we'll have a real test again today," said Tavares,"and know they'll be prepared and we'll have to be at our best and continue to find ways to get better."
