Sheldon Keefe Post Game, Avalanche 5 vs. Leafs 3: “When MacKinnon’s line is out there with Toews-Makar, the calibre of play isn’t the NHL… It’s another league, and I didn’t think we handled it very well”

On where the game got away from the team after leading 3-0:

It starts with the first goal. We stopped playing. We stopped playing and gave them a freebie.

First of all, in the first period, we had one line going. The score was not indicative of what the period was like. They were in our zone twice as much as we were in theirs. We were defending too much. Their best people were dominating play.

We had to get better in the second period. We didn’t. Not only did we not, but we gave them life by giving them penalties.
