Craig Berube Issues a Warning to the Maple Leafs Ahead of a Highly Anticipated Game 2 Against the Panthers

While the health and safety of goaltender Anthony Stolarz is of the utmost importance, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have to push forward and find a way to win Game 2 with or without his services.

The Maple Leafs took the all-important first game of the series to set the tone the rest of the way against the defending Stanley Cup champions. However, everyone is going to continue to talk about the incident involving Stolarz and Sam Bennett.

While the media will continue to do it's thing over the course of the next 24 hours and beyond, head coach Craig Berube wants to make sure his team is mentally prepared to do battle on Wednesday night and that they keep their cool in what should be a boisterous affair.

Retribution and revenge is certainly going to be on the mind of many, but Berube wants to make sure that they take care of business in a different way and that's by putting more pucks in the net past Sergei Bobrovsky rather than worrying about Bennett and finding themselves in the penalty box.

Veteran forward Max Pacioretty feels the exact same way and that while playing with emotions is what is needed during the playoffs, they have to find the right balance in what is going to be a chippy game between the two rivals.

It will be interesting to see how the Maple Leafs respond, but perhaps more importantly how the Panthers come out. If they start chucking fists, throwing elbows, and jabbing spears like they did in Game 1, the Leafs will have to find a way to keep their cool and bury their opposition with goals aplenty.
