Sheldon Keefe Post Game, Penguins 7 vs. Leafs 1:
Oct 24, 2021 1 min, 51 secs

I thought we started the first couple shifts of the second period really well — we were in the offensive zone, moving around a little bit, and we had some chances.

Then, we had a turnover in the offensive zone and didn’t have structure coming back, so it ends up in our net, and, before we’re gathered, it’s in our net again, and it’s 3-1.

Tough game to assess in a lot of ways because I thought we were going pretty well there for a chunk of time there and then, you know, two pucks are in our net in a hurry and the game didn’t really change from there.

Like I said, I did think we were playing really until that point.

To that point, Matthews’ line and [Tavares’] line had two shifts spending the entire time in the offensive zone, had a couple of looks at the net, and then it’s a high offensive zone turnover coming back, and it’s in our net.

I was just trying to get us to relax and get back to playing and not change or anything like that, but also realizing the situation and playing in a hole… That was really the purpose of the timeout, but I didn’t think we responded well from it.

That team competes really hard, and they’ve got a lot of speed on the puck, so there will be a lot of examples coming out of the game tonight where we’re just not hard enough, not quick enough, and not responsible enough with the puck when we have it.

I had a pretty good sense that the third period was going to be garbage time in a lot of ways and it was going to be real tough for us to make a game of it

We didn’t do ourselves any favours with the way we started the third period

From the way he’s approaching the game and talking to his teammates on the bench, I think he’s doing a real good job of focusing on the things that he can control, trying to get his game going, and trying to be a leader on the team
