The Maple Leafs coach said he “hated everything” about his team’s lack of physical response after defenceman Timothy Liljegren was injured on an egregious trip by Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand on Thursday.
Regarding the Marchand matter, other than Ryan Reaves saying a few things to Marchand as the Bruin circled by the Leafs bench following the play — no penalty was called — the Leafs didn’t so much as shrug. “We talked about it, we addressed it in the room and it will be changed going forward,” Reaves said. “When skates by the bench, I think there probably could be a little more of a response there, but we talked about it and we will respond accordingly.”“It was, first of all, get away from the bench,” Reaves said. “Second of all, he was lucky I was not out on the ice with him. They had last change, so I didn’t get any shifts against him.
“It’s more about the team response. There’s a lot of other players that are wearing Bruins colours, we can make life harder on them. It’s more just about an uplifting of our team. We came back in the hockey game. So that’s a response in itself.”“Bert is a very important player for us and will be a very important player for us and will come through,” Keefe said. “The harder this thing gets, the better Bert is going to be.
