Unflappable.
In a performance that could command a wide variety of flattering attributes, that's how head coach Sheldon Keefe put it for the Toronto Maple Leafs after their bafflingly dominant 5-0 win over the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1 of their first-round series Monday night at Scotiabank Arena.
In a room full of scribes, it was the head coach that described it best.
Because unflappable was precisely how the Maple Leafs had to be.
It really was all the difference.
