FTB: The sun did not come out this morning, but that's OK

The Leafs kicked off their series against the Florida Panthers last night with a 4-2 loss. It wasn't a great outing, but the team didn't look terrible like they did in their first game against the Lightning, so I don't have that sense of dread this morning like I did back for the previous game #1.
