Sheldon Keefe Post Game, Leafs 3 vs. Canadiens 1: “Robertson, Knies, Minten, Cowan… There is a lot to like about our young prospects”

On the team finding a way to win a game in which they were pretty heavily outshot (34-22):

I just loved how the guys, to a man, competed and dug in. At times, we were a little overwhelmed by the opposition, but we stuck with it. It wasn’t for a lack of will, trying, or competing.

We got some saves early. We got some breaks. The guys capitalized on it. It certainly was a challenge here, especially for those who had to play last night as well.

I am thrilled. I think the foundation of the three veteran defensemen (Rielly, Brodie, and McCabe) really helped us as well as the veteran goaltender (Jones).
