Leafs ready for rough reception in Tampa Bay via sunhornby
Games 3 and 4 are Saturday and Monday.
Winger Zach Aston-Reese has only been here a year but watched the Leafs play very well in some traditionally rough venues and get at least a point from three of the four teams that eventually topped their divisions. “You’ve got to expect their building will be rockin’. We got smacked 7-3 and they come out and do the same thing. You’ve got to expect they’ll respond.”Article content“Sometimes you get so hyped up you almost crap the bed,” joked Aston-Reese. “That’s how I felt about Game 1, personally. You have to stay level and respond.”
The Leafs didn’t practice Friday, holding a team meeting before heading to the airport. The Lightning flew home ahead of them, hoping to have injured defencemen Victor Hedman and Erik Cernak returning in the next couple of days after both missed Game 2 with injuries.
