Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube tried to avoid making headlines before Game 3 by downplaying the antics of Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand. When asked about the veteran winger’s reputation as a chirper, the Leafs coach shrugged it off.

The Maple Leafs defenseman understandably was devastated after Brad Marchand ’s shot deflected off him and past goalie Joseph Woll at 15:27 of overtime to give the Florida Panthers a 5-4 victory in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Second Round at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday.

With the benefit of last change on home ice, Panthers coach Paul Maurice's matchup changes were the root cause of Toronto's Game 3 loss.
