Kyle Clifford isn’t about to try to re-invent himself with the Maple Leafs. Thank goodness. “They didn’t bring me in to out-pace Auston Matthews in goals,” Clifford said with a gap-toothed grin on Thursday, drawing laughs from a large media scrum. “I know what I am, and I want to add that element.

Goaltender Andersen hits the ice, Maple Leafs lose Ceci to ankle injury — Toronto Sun
By Terry Koshan

As media filed into the Maple Leafs’ dressing room at the Ford Performance Centre on Thursday afternoon to talk to general manager Kyle Dubas and newcomers Jack Campbell and Kyle Clifford, going the other way was goaltender Frederik Andersen.

In full equipment.

Andersen, who suffered a neck injury against Florida on Monday, then spent the next 35 minutes on the ice, taking shots from goaltending coach Steve Briere.

A positive development, to be sure, after there was some speculation that Andersen could be out for a while.

“(His) status is that he is continuing to work through the injury and see where he is at,” Dubas said. “I would say he is unlikely (to play against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday), but we will see.”

Kings trade Kyle Clifford, Jack Campbell to Maple Leafs — Press Telegram

Less than three weeks from the NHL’s trade deadline, the last-place Kings made the first of what could be several significant trades on Wednesday night as they look to rebuild. The Kings sent forward Kyle Clifford and goaltender Jack Campbell to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forward Trevor Moore and two third-round draft…

RANGERS 5, LEAFS 3. WHAT THEY SAID: “We need a good response from our team. We need to show life and character and all those types of things. I didn’t really like today. I know it’s tough, it’s hard when you kind of work your way back to get it 3-2 and then you feel like you’ve got a chance and then the next shot goes in. That’s real tough on the players and the team. We have to find a way to be better there and give ourselves more life and more energy and recognize the game is still there, there’s lots of time left. ” –SHELDON KEEFE.

HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE

On tonight’s game as a missed opportunity:

Yeah, I think that’s fair. We did get a good start, set us up really well. There was a lot of game left to play so I don’t know if it was a missed opportunity necessarily, but very disappointing we weren’t able to build upon that. Instead, we gave it back and dug ourselves a hole we weren’t able to get out of.

On where the team was most vulnerable as the game went on:

Well, obviously, the third goal. We had two faceoffs right away there that we just weren’t alive on. They have them, bang-bang. It’s 2-1, you can manage that – 3-1 is tough. So that was a big moment. I thought the second period we had a lot of really good things happening. Obviously, we scored the goal to make it one. The fourth goal was pretty defeating and devastating, frankly. We just didn’t have anything from there.

On Andersen’s status and Hutchinson’s play:

I have no update on Freddie at this point. In terms of Hutch, I thought that we need saves as a team. We need him to be better in those spots when we have those lapses there. At the same time, our team has to do a better job of protecting. The second goal, again, it’s a bang-bang play off the faceoff, we’ll give them that one, but then to not be alive and ready right off the drop of the next one, that’s just making life real hard on your goalie so we don’t like that one. He dropped his stick there on the fourth one, but we need a save on it.

On if Hutchinson will start the next game:

It’s too early to tell. There’s a lot going on obviously with Fred and some other things too. We’re just going to have to see how things settle down tomorrow and see where we’re at.

On how the team can turn it around moving forward:

We need a good response from our team. We need to show life and character and all those types of things. I didn’t really like today. I know it’s tough, it’s hard when you kind of work your way back to get it 3-2 and then you feel like you’ve got a chance and then the next shot goes in. That’s real tough on the players and the team. We have to find a way to be better there and give ourselves more life and more energy and recognize the game is still there, there’s lots of time left. But, in terms of how we stop it from spiraling, we’ve just got to regroup, go back on home ice and have an effort more like we had against Florida all the way through and try to get a better result from it.

MICHAEL HUTCHINSON (30 SAVES)

On tonight’s game:

I think we just had a couple breakdowns early on. Dug us a hole early and from there, it’s hard to get back from it. I thought we had a lot of good chances around the net. Their goalie made some big saves. It was one of those games. Just fell behind early and just couldn’t get going and get back.

On the Rangers’ fourth goal:

I lost my stick and then [Dermott] and I had a little miscommunication trying to get my stick back. The play kind of turned into a shot from a good spot. The guy didn’t make a good shot, it’s a save I should make but it was one of those plays where trying to get my stick put me a little bit behind the play and that’s what happened.

AUSTON MATTHEWS (2 GOALS)

On tonight’s loss:

I thought we started well; I think we just continue to have these lulls throughout the game where we’re just not playing at our best. Then the chances that we’re giving up burnt. Just too many 2-on-1s, odd man rushes — they were a bit egregious. I think that’s where we’re at.

On giving up two goals in six seconds:

I think it’s just attention to detail. You give up the goal, a lot of times you’ll get taken off the ice, but obviously he kept us on. You’ve got to be more ready than that off the faceoff. Obviously, they’ve got guys that can fly, Kreider can skate well and gets a good jump off faceoffs all the time.

JAKE MUZZIN (20:20 TOI)

On where the game got away from the team:

In the first, I think, after we scored, we kind of let up and wanted an easy game. They took it to us, and they answered, and we weren’t ready for it. So we’ve got to play hard and play the right way for 60. And no matter what the score is or what the situation is — up one, down one, whatever it may be — we’ve got to stick to it. We got away from it tonight and it bit us.

On if a lack of attention to detail is to blame:

Yeah, some of that and our work ethic. Sometimes when we go up, we just want the easy game and it’s not supposed to be easy. It’s not going to be easy. So we’ve got to do a better job of playing with the lead, I think.

JOHN TAVARES (1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST)

On what went wrong tonight:

Well, the second half of the first period — after a pretty good start – just wasn’t very good and obviously we gave up some quick ones and then we were playing from behind. We had a pretty good second period. Obviously, get within one and then they were able to respond right away, which always hurts, especially when we were able to get ourselves back in it. We do the same in the third, just probably a little too late.  Didn’t really get our pressure going, we didn’t generate much in the first ten. It’s just one of those nights. We let it get away from us in the second half of the first period and did some good things at many points of the game but obviously not enough.

On if frustration led to his late-game scuffle with Ryan Lindgren:

Well, he crossed-checked me and then he just shoved me so I’m not going to stand there and take it. I stand my ground and compete and fight for my ice. Obviously, not a position we want to be in at that point of the game. Whether or not that plays into or not, maybe a little bit. Just trying to fight for my ice.

TRAIKOS: Dangerous Maple Leafs team may not even make the playoffs — Toronto Sun

Off the record, the coach was confused.

This is a coach who has seen the Toronto Maple Leafs a lot this season. Seen them score a ton of goals. Seen how Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner have worked their magic on a line together, how William Nylander has rebounded after a miserable season and how Sheldon Keefe has freed the team offensively.

He’s seen them dominate. But at the same time, he’s also seen them grossly underachieve.

This could be a Stanley Cup winner, said the coach. Well, if they can reach the playoffs first.

“I actually don’t mind their team,” the Eastern Conference coach, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said of the Leafs during the All-Star break. “I can’t say that it’s a bad team. It’s a weird team.”

He then added: “I still wouldn’t want to face them in the first round.”

PANTHERS 5, LEAFS 3 — WHAT THEY SAID: “(Frederik Andersen) went through that whole (concussion) process. My understanding is the results were positive on that. Given the nature of the injury, we wanted to take caution and give it time. We’ll give it tonight and see how he is in the morning.” –SHELDON KEEFE.

HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE

On Frederik Andersen’s status:

I guess he’s feeling better. That’s what I’m told. They’re just going to have to give him the night and see how he is in the morning.

On what collision caused the injury:

I don’t know those details.

On if Andersen underwent concussion testing:

He was, he went through that whole process. My understanding is the results were positive on that. Given the nature of the injury, we wanted to take caution and give it time. We’ll give it tonight and see how he is in the morning.

On if he knows whether Andersen will travel to New York tomorrow:

No. We’ll see how he is in the morning and if he’s on the ice for practice and all that kind of stuff. Practice hasn’t been ruled out for tomorrow at this point.

On the team’s play tonight:

I thought we played a really good game. If we play that type of game 100 times, we probably win 99 of them, something in that neighborhood. But you don’t get the points and that hurts. Obviously, we get the 3-1 goal and it should be over from there. We lose our focus a little bit and then we let them get the second one, and we just never really recovered. That was a challenge for us.

On the loss as an example of the team’s immaturity:

Yes and no. The result sucks, right? I don’t think the result is in any way indicative of the way the game went. When you talk about the maturity of our team, a lot of the narrative is how we can’t defend. That’s the best defensive game we’ve played the entire season. I don’t know if we gave up over four scoring chances at even-strength the whole hockey game. That’s the way it goes. We would have liked to have more offence and score more and grow a bigger lead. We had plenty of opportunities to do that and we didn’t. We let them hang around in the game and then, as I said, we did lose composure, I thought. Not composure, but just got distracted by the 3-1 goal and perhaps that’s an area we’d like to have back and do better job of. There’s a lot of things to like about what we did today.

On his level of confidence in Hutchinson if he needs to take over as the starter:

I’m not going to answer that tonight.

On how Hutchinson fared coming into the game after Andersen’s injury:

Obviously, it didn’t go very well but it’s a challenging scenario. He comes in cold and he’s not expecting to play. He goes in the second period and other than a couple of dump-ins, I don’t know if he had any shots. So that’s a tough ask of any goalie. He is part of the team and wants the opportunity and he’s in the net. You’d like to see positive results. I’d take a lot more from the games played for us previous to tonight.

MICHAEL HUTCHINSON (10 SAVES)

On the challenge of coming into a game cold:

It’s definitely difficult. It’s one of those things that you try to do your best to get your body ready and prepared. It’s probably the hardest thing in pro sports as far as going in cold. Baseball players have bullpen, football quarterbacks going in cold can throw a few balls on the sideline. As a goalie, you go from sitting around to jumping right in the game and being thrown right into it. So I thought our guys did a great job playing the second period and letting me get a chance to get my feet wet.

On when he knew he was going into the game:

A few minutes into the second intermission I got the heads up I was going in.

On his mindset if he needs to play more often going forward:

The same as it has been. Just take it one day at a time. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing every single night or once every two weeks, you have to approach each day. Try and get better and try to take advantage of each day and if I happen to get more starts than that, that’s what it is. Hopefully Freddie is good.

AUSTON MATTHEWS (1 GOAL)

On tonight’s loss:

I think it just got away from us. We played 45 to 50 minutes of really, really good hockey. Some of our best over the last couple weeks and then we had the puck quite a bit, we had plenty of chances. It just got away from us, I think. Just maybe a lack of focus and concentration and obviously we didn’t take advantage. These were valuable points that were on the line for us and we were in a really good spot going into the third.

On the team’s reaction after Andersen didn’t return in the second period:

You’ve still got to play. He’s a big part of this team, obviously, but when he goes down, we’ve got faith in Hutch. We just didn’t play well in front of him for the last 20 minutes.

On the focus shifting back to the week’s upcoming games:

Yeah, absolutely. We have three more games. This is a team that is obviously in our division and these were important points. This one got away from us, move on to Wednesday in New York and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

WILIAM NYLANDER (1 GOAL)

On what happened in the third period following a strong first 40 minutes:

I think we just relaxed a little bit and they capitalized on their chances and that’s obviously something we can’t do.

On how difficult it will be to turn the page after tonight’s loss:

No, it’s fine. We take what we did well from this game and move on. There’s nothing about being upset about this.

JOHN TAVARES (1 GOAL)

On a tough loss tonight:

Yeah, obviously disappointing. It’s not going to be a good feeling leaving the rink, especially I think overall the way we played, we got sloppy early in the third and just didn’t do a good enough job exiting our zone clean at times. That obviously led to some of their opportunities. There’s a lot of hockey left so we just have to turn the page as disappointing as this one is we have to get ready for three more this week.

On making sense of the third period breakdown:

Well we came out really well, got a big goal and, for whatever reason, we just didn’t have a good response, good momentum after that and led to some opportunities and they started to get some belief and some momentum and we weren’t able to do a good enough job the rest of the period.

PANTHERS 5, MAPLE LEAFS 3 POSTGAME NOTES: William Nylander scored Toronto’s second goal of the night at 19:05 of the second period. Nylander has points (6-4-10) in eight consecutive games. He has a goal and an assist in two games against the Panthers this season. In 31 games against Eastern Conference opposition in 2019-20, he has 29 points (14 goals, 15 assists).
