After a hard fought Game 6, the Leafs were left frustrated yet stoic. In the post game remarks regarding the Leafs' mindset going into Game 7 Auston Matthews didn't mince words. If anyone feels the pressure to win, it's AM34:

That's exactly right, and if they want to slay the dragon there can't be any passengers. Especially not if you are Auston Matthews. You definitely can't afford any passengers, especially none who wear #17 for Tampa Bay Lightning...

That was a pretty clear penalty that, as you would expect, the Maple Leafs were none too pleased over. However, at this stage in the game guys like Tavares, Campbell & Matthews know there's no point in arguing about it in the post-game which is why all you ever hear about it is this:

Game 7 will be must-watch TV & the hockey world will collectively be drawn in. There is so much at stake. Tampa Bay's journey to a three-peat & Toronto's aspirations of a second-round appearance. It is surely to be match for the ages.
