Sheldon Keefe Post Game, Coyotes 4 vs. Leafs 2: “The difference between us and Arizona is that we have elite players… Our elite players didn’t play like elite players”

On the team’s performance:

I thought we started well in the game. We had full control of the game. We had the puck really the entire first period, for the most part, at five on five. We couldn’t get to the net. It was a credit to Arizona. They packed it in. They had five people on the inside blocking shots and defending the net.

We couldn’t convert our offensive-zone time into anything really tangible at the net. I thought we had a shift in there about six or seven minutes into the first period where it felt like we had the puck in the zone for a minute and a half or two minutes.
