Max Domi scored for the Leafs early in third, but the goal was answered by an Eetu Luostarinen tip past Woll less than a minute later. Sam Reinhart added another Panthers goal and Brad Marchand, now 5-0 against the Leafs in Game 7s, scored into an empty net.
A year and a day after Berube was hired, the Leafs’ start to the game couldn’t have been more baffling. They weren’t close to being ready once the puck dropped. Through the first 6 1/2 minutes, the Panthers had 21 shot attempts. The Leafs didn’t have a single one.
Toronto had no composure. The defensive-zone play was akin to a group that was playing together for the first time. The Leafs were soft. They couldn’t handle a Panthers forecheck that, as good as it is, was able to be controlled by the Leafs at times in the series.
