Booth's final horn fell down at Toronto's Scoo Niubuck Arena Wednesday night as the Maple Leafs got closer, extending their 57-year Stanley Gorge drought and lost 6-1 to the Panthers.

Fans even threw their jerseys on the ice when Toronto saw its 2-0 series lead turning into a 3-2 deficit. But coach Craig Berube hopes his players get out of the situation for the time being.

"The last game is overthinking, not playing hockey," he said. "Now,[the players]need to be united tonight and hold their breath. Stop thinking about the game. Relax. When we think about the game."

To return to Toronto for Game 7, the Leaves will have to win in Florida, but they may not let goalkeeper Anthony Stolarz win the game. He has been eliminated for not revealing injuries since the first game of the series. He resumed skating on the weekend and had a 30-minute workout Thursday, but Berube doubted whether Stolarz would join Florida's Leafs for Game 6.

That led his backup Joseph Woll to give up five goals in 25 shots on Wednesday.

After the game, the players met to break the issue, and Berube planned for a team meeting Thursday after the leaves landed behind Fort Lauderdale.

"Loss is loss," Beruber said. "If we lost 2-1 (on Wednesday), it was a close game, is it really important today? We were beaten. I've been in this situation before. We're all frustrated and frustrated, but we can't. We have to regroup."

These include Leafs' top skaters. Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander failed to rate Florida.

In Game 5, the Panthers repeatedly hindered the hasty attempts in Toronto and shocked them with a sultry prep, which rolled the Leafs offensively.

Meanwhile, Pepper Woll of Florida until defenseman Aaron Ekblad's first goal in the late stage one broke the game. Toronto's own mistakes - including Dmitry Kulikov's shot, defeating Wall's club from Leaf forward Scott Laughton, and Marner's incredible turnover in his own area to deliver on Jesper Boqvist's strike - led to a second phase of three goals. Woll backed Matt Murray after AJ Greer won Florida's first playoff goal 5-1.

"(It's very disappointing)." Morgan Rielly said, "But at the end of the day, whether we lost the way last night or were lost in overtime, we were still in the position of ready to fight anyway. We have to go there (Florida) and play the best game. We can't stand all kinds of (other) things. ”

Leafs had early control of the series against Florida, winning games 1 and 2 and gaining a multiple goal lead in Game 3. While Florida has upended the Switch, they haven't looked back. The Panthers assembled three goals in the second phase of Game 3 and took the first lead of the night. Rielly's goal midway through the third stage kidnapped the game with overtime, but Brad Marchand scored for the Florida game winner.

That Rielly Marker will be Toronto's last goal at Sergei Bobrovsky, with nearly six hockey. Toronto was turned away 2-0 by the Panthers in Game 4, dangerously approaching it dangerously if it weren't for Nick Robertson's late marking in the late game 5.

Bobrovsky worked hard to open the series against Leaf, allowing nine goals in the first two games with a score of 0.820 SV%, but he has slammed the goal since the end of the game 3. In Game 4, he scored 54 on 55 shots, throwing away with a SV% of 0.982.

Robertson's goal was of no help to the fans.

“It’s tough,” Rielley said. "But they (fans) have the right to do what they want to do. We need to improve and play better. We want to have a team that will go out and win and compete. When that doesn't happen, everyone gets frustrated."

Rielly is the longest member of the Leaf, experiencing many of Toronto’s highs and lows in an attempt to drive away past playoff demons. Brandon Carlo is the acquisition at the March deal deadline - new to Toronto's history, but shares Rielly's view that despite their poor performance and fans react to their performance, it's not something that should be lingered.

"In a game like this, you don't want to think too much about these things," said Carlo of the extracurricular activities. "It's a passionate fan base... there will definitely be ups and downs, but from the perspective of past playoff series, I myself have been in these situations.
