Ottawa Senators head coach Travis Green watched his team get blown out by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday night and he was not too happy about it.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators played each other in Game 1 of the NHL Playoffs on Sunday night and it was a bloodbath.
Overall, the Maple Leafs played an amazing game especially in the second period where they were able to all but put the Senators away thanks to undisciplined penalties.
Penalties really were the story of the game and the Senators now have to have a come to Jesus moment before Tuesday night's matchup.
Travis Green speaks on the Toronto Maple Leafs
Having said that, Senators head coach Travis Green doesn't appear to be too worried about the penalties. Instead, he is taking aim at the Leafs and the officiating.
In his post game comments, Green failed to take accountability on behalf of his players. Instead, he said the Leafs were diving and selling calls all over the place.
«I thought there was a couple calls they did a good job selling.»
This lack of accountability does not bode well for Game 2. At the end of the day, you have to admit your mistakes and simply move on. If you can't do that, then the team is in trouble.
Goaltending was also an issue for the Senators as Linus Ullmark wasn't particularly good, letting in six goals on 24 shots. Meanwhile, Anthony Stolarz was a beast.
Game 2 should be a lot closer, although the Leafs are probably still going to be favored as they will have the crowd on their side for this one.
Not to mention, a 2-0 series lead would feel pretty good especially when you consider what the Leafs have dealt with in the past.
