TORONTO - It was different this year. These weren't the same Maple Leafs. They played a different style, a playoff style, a Craig Berube style. They were playing the way they needed to play to win in the playoffs. They knew how to win close games. They responded to adversity. They were tough. They were heavy.

ARLINGTON, Va. - A few days ago, speaking before Game 4 of his team's Stanley Cup playoff series against the Carolina Hurricanes, Washington Capitals coach Spencer Carbery was asked about making lineup changes. At the time, Washington was down 2-1 but with less of a foothold than that suggested; winning a series when you have the puck as infrequently as the Capitals in the first three games is a tough hill to climb. So, naturally, Carbery was open to mixing things up ... with a caveat.

TORONTO - No hyperbole here: Game 5 against the Florida Panthers is the most important game of the Maple Leafs' season and likely in the playoff careers of their stars. After squandering a 2-0 series lead, the Leafs have surrendered all the momentum in the second round. The Panthers are looking comfortable playing their nasty, punishing brand of hockey. How the Leafs - especially the core - respond could not only dictate how this series unfolds, but the future of this roster.
