Toronto Maple Leafs "won't get carried away" as 19-year NHL Play-Off drought almost over

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe has reminded his players not to get carried away after a stunning turnaround in game four against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Leafs are once again on the brink of winning a first-round Play-Off series after a 5-4 overtime win against the Lightning on Monday night, although they've been in this situation many times before over the last two decades. The Leafs are now 3-1 up in the series against the Lightning, but they haven't advanced to the second-round since the 2003/04 season.

Securing that fourth win of the series continues to be the stumbling block for the Leafs in recent history, although they look certain to break the curse this year as they host the next two games (if needed) in Toronto. But Keefe has reminded his stars not to get carried away, and finish the job.
