Ryan Reaves makes questionable statement ahead of game 5

Reaves is known for saying what he thinks. He said everyone on the team believes they can still win. He thinks they can come back like they have before this season.

He also said they need to be really serious and try really hard in tonight's game. He said if they start feeling nervous, they'll lose.

Reaves also talked about the argument between Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and William Nylander in Game 4. He said it's okay for players to get emotional and show they care. But he thinks they're still friends and it's not a big problem.

He said they just want to get better and sometimes things get frustrating. But when they talk about it, they can move on and focus on playing better.

The Maple Leafs are hoping Reaves is right about the team's attitude. They need everyone to stay focused, especially with uncertainty about if Auston Matthews will play tonight.
