00:00In a bit of a hole as they head back to Florida, hear his head coach, Paul Maurice.

00:05Is he going to give any kind of other message down 2-0?

00:09That's not his style.

00:10Is there anything that needs to be said to the team at this point with the series being where it is right now?

00:14Well, if there was, you would have said it two games ago, right?

00:17So we're not holding back any gems.

00:20And that's probably the most important thing that you realize.

00:23It's not a, we've went on the road and lost two one-goal games.

00:27Our game's not perfect. Neither is theirs.

00:30So you're looking for an adjustment to foundation more than an adjustment to something unusual.

00:36How about win?

00:38You know, they came back, they had a lead, they blew it, they didn't win.

00:42And then, you know, now they're home and they have to win tonight.

00:48They utterly and literally have to win.

00:53No questions asked.

00:54There is no, there's no room for error either.

00:56This cannot be a 4-3 game or a 5-4 game like the first two games.

01:02I think this has to be Panthers, puck line.

01:05They have to win by a couple goals convincingly to let the Leafs know that, you know, we're here.

01:13Welcome to South Florida.

01:14And we're going to go back to Toronto 2-2.

01:17They need to win both games at home.

01:18Not just tonight.

01:19They got to win Sunday as well, whatever the hell the game is.
