Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube recently spoke out about his team's loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 and how there are some positives to it.
Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost 5-4 in overtime to the Florida Panthers in a game that was very winnable.
Unfortunately, they didn't get the best performance from Joseph Woll, who wasn't exactly setting the world on fire. He allowed five goals on 36 shots and could have been a lot better.
Now, the Maple Leafs are up 2-1 in the series, and there is a fear that they could be all tied up heading back to Toronto next week.

Despite all of this, Craig Berube was extremely positive while speaking to the media on Friday night.
He noted all of the good things that the team did and how just a few bounces ultimately cost them the game.
«Just in terms of playing our game for the whole 60 minutes We had a good first, I thought, and when we came out in the second, we had to be direct with what we do.
In the third, we got back to playing our game. We were pressuring and putting pressure on them. We were getting pucks behind them and going to work. We just have to continue to do that.
In overtime, we had our opportunities. We had offensive zone time and were doing things. It is a bounce. That is what happens in overtime, a lot of the time.»

This is a lot of positivity coming from the Leafs bench boss and if you are a fan of the team, you can't help but be energized about Game 4.
Having said that, the team could still be better right now. There are some issues with giving up leads and the goaltending is a bit of a problem right now, all things considered.
However, they have been competitive in every single game, and there is reason to believe the Leafs can win this series.
The Florida Panthers look pretty tired and that could prove to be the catalyst for a series win.
