The Toronto Maple Leafs' head coach Sheldon Keefe ripped into his players after a crushing loss against the New Jersey Devils.

Leafs players delivered an embarassing effort against the New Jersey Debils last night, losing 6-3.

Sheldon Keefe, head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, rips into his players in press conference after a tough loss.

"Hated lots about our game tonight."

"We got incredibly sloppy and careless, and that's disappointing."

"We just overdid. It was just really immature. Really immature all the way through our game. I thought it was immature from our most experienced players and our leaders. And then our players who are immature, our inexperienced guys, I mean, we made lots of mistakes."
About Tavares: "They gotta be the example. John Tavares has been the example for us. He's been outstanding for us for a long period of time. He himself got carried away tonight. That's our captain."

"So, if that's going to happen, well, the rest of our bench is now picking up as we go. When you do that, you open the door for an opposition to have a good night. And they did that. And I thought the last goal at the end of the third period there [a Jack Hughes breakaway, gifted by an intercepted Max Domi pass], that's indicative of our second and third periods."

About Woll: "You can't let in the first shot of the game. That's two in a row now."

He also discussed the fact that the team hasn't clinched a playoff spot yet, which highlights the importance of competing hard every day and playing with some urgency.
"We haven't clinched anything. Nothing's secure at this point in time. And we need to approach it that way. Every day, every shift, every practice we get, we got to have a level of urgency to everything that we're doing here."
