Despite being up 3-1 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series with the Ottawa Senators, the Toronto Maple Leafs are beginning to hear whispers of their recent failures to clinch playoff series.
The Maple Leafs have lost 12 of their last 13 potential series-clinching games and will host Game 5 in Toronto on Tuesday night following a 4-3 overtime loss in Game 4 at Ottawa on Saturday.
Toronto coach Craig Berube tried to talk his way around the elephant in the room.
"Not going to look at it too much. Didn't get a bounce. Could have ended it. Hit a post," Berube said. "I don't think that was the case tonight. I thought our team played extremely hard, did a lot of great things. We gave up four shots in two periods (the second and third). I mean, we played hard."
BOL either way Ladies & Gentlemen
