Sheldon Keefe on Mitch Marner’s Game 1 performance: “He was like a lot of our other guys — at times, he was really good, but he needed to do it more consistently and more frequently”

What is the key to bouncing back in Game 2?

Keefe: Continue to believe in what we are doing, get to our game more frequently, and clean up the details with the discipline, minimizing the penalties that we take, and executing better on special teams. That is really it.

Is that a conversation you need to have with the team, or do they know where the issues lie?

Keefe: We had a lengthy meeting. We digested the game and talked about the things we wanted to do better and the things that we did well and needed to do more frequently.
