POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On tonight’s game and the team’s successful penalty kill:
“…We had a lot of guys that were really good today, our team played really well. Our crowd was
unbelievable tonight. I thought the crowd was the first star of the game, despite having a lot of guys that
were good. I thought that they carried us through that five-minute kill. Our players played hard, they got
life and we had some chances and the way that our crowd responded and then didn’t let up for the rest of
the game from there. I always get asked questions down the stretch of the regular season about how
important home ice was and I felt that it would be important, but I didn’t feel like it would be that important.
It’s my first playoff game coaching the Leafs with a full building here and I certainly felt, and talking to
some others who have been in the building and that have been through this, our crowd, you can feel the
love for this team and the excitement for this team and I thought they were outstanding tonight and our
team just didn’t look back.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS
On tonight’s game:
“I thought we played fast. I thought we played through the contact, we played through a long five-minute
penalty kill there. Our penalty kill was huge tonight, I think that brought us a lot of momentum. Soupy was
incredible and we were able to capitalize on some chances so I thought it was a really good effort by us.
A lot of really good things that we did tonight but it’s a series. It’s going to be a long series, it’s a really
good team on the other end and they’re going to be ready next game. Have to watch this one, learn from
it, obviously a really great win but we have to move on to the next one.”
MITCH MARNER
On tonight’s game:
“Happy with the way we just performed. Didn’t let anything really bother us. Two big penalty kills right off
the start but just from there I think the whole group settled in nicely. Felt like there wasn’t a whole lot
going on five-on-five to be honest but other than that we played our game, we played with speed, we
played with quickness and we got around the net.”
JACK CAMPBELL
On tonight’s win, earning a shutout:
“I’m just really proud of the effort in front of me. Starting off the game with a couple huge kills and boys
just played so hard. Obviously, they’re an amazing team over there, they aren’t going to be thrilled about
the game one. But that’s what it is, it’s game one of the series and we really like the way we played but
we have to refocus here.

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On how the team responded from Thursday’s loss to Tampa Bay:
“I thought our guys played hard tonight, easily could have won the game. I thought we won the first and
third periods especially. I thought they won the second period not just in the scoring but they carried play
and stuff like that but first and third period we had tons of opportunity. Against this team though, you have
to score more than two. It’s real tough to win when you only get two against them and we had more than
enough looks to have four or five, you don’t make them count and that team hangs around. That’s what
they’ve been doing all season, they find ways to win.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS
On how he felt in his return to the lineup and on tonight’s game:
“I didn’t feel too bad. I thought we created a lot, thought we had a lot of really good looks. Maybe bounces
didn’t go our way tonight but all in all felt pretty solid. It’s a game of inches out there obviously and it’s a
really good team on the other end and you know they’re never going to go away so really tight game and
I thought we did a lot of good things but definitely would have liked to see us get that extra point.”
On how the team responded from Thursday’s loss to Tampa Bay:
“Much better effort. I thought we were a lot more competitive, physical. I thought we had much more of a
purpose tonight and I think it showed but like I said dropping a point we definitely leave here with a little
bit of a sour taste in your mouth but I definitely liked our effort much better than the other night.”
MITCH MARNER
On tonight’s game:
“I thought we did good. I thought we did a pretty good job of limiting their chances off rushes. Still gave up
too many opportunities around our net. For us I think it’s just hanging onto the puck a little bit more in the
o-zone, trying to create more stuff in the o-zone, trying to hang onto it and not try and get into that rush
game.”
On Matthews’ return to the lineup:
“He looked great. He was making a lot of great plays out there. Had a lot of great opportunities. I thought
he was buzzing throughout the whole night.”
JACK CAMPBELL
On how the team responded from Thursday’s loss to Tampa Bay:
“I thought the guys responded well. Florida is played incredibly well, obviously their record speaks for
itself but I thought the guys came out and competed all night and faced some adversity and battled
through it. Obviously wanted to come away with two points and just kind of miss timed that poke check
but it is what it is and proud of the effort from the guys.”
On Matthews’ return to the lineup:
“Just loved seeing him out there with the guys competing. I know it meant a lot to him. He looks amazing
so great to see him back out there.”

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On Matthews’ 55th goal of the season, breaking the franchise record for most goals scored in a
season:
“Yeah, this is Auston’s night tonight. It’s much deserved and to finish it with an exclamation point. I think
you write it like that. It’s pretty good.”
On what he said to Matthews after scoring the goal:
“Just congratulated him. I just told him it’s a great accomplishment. The Leafs organization has been
around for a long time. A lot of great players. It’s pretty special for him to be at the top of that list.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS
On scoring his 55th goal of the season, breaking the franchise record for most goals scored in a
season:
“It felt good. A lot of emotions running through your mind and body when you see the puck go in so I don’t
really know what else to say but it’s definitely exciting and a really fun moment.”
More on breaking the record:
“I just saw the puck go in and I was just so excited honestly, there’s not really that much else to it. Gio
made a really nice pass and he put it right in my wheelhouse, so I just tried to attack the puck and I was
able to sneak it in. There was a lot of stuff going through my mind I guess.”
MORGAN RIELLY
On Matthews breaking the franchise record for most goals scored in a season:
“We’re incredibly happy for Auston. He’s a great person, the way he lives his life, the way that he leads
and the teammate that he is and how humble he is even though these accomplishments keep coming his
way. You couldn’t be happier for a guy like that. He works extremely hard, he deserves it and he’s not
done yet so it’s been cool to watch.”
On what impresses him the most about Auston:
“Well I think just how he plays every night. It’s always the same, he shows up and plays hard. He’s a dog
on the puck and when he gets chances it often ends up going in the net. He’s a pretty unique player and
like I said for all the things he’s accomplished at this point in his career, for him to be the type of person
he is and how humble he is it is truly the most impressive part.”
MITCH MARNER
On Matthews breaking Rick Vaive’s franchise record of most goals in a single season:
“It’s amazing, it’s very impressive. It’s a hard thing to score a lot of goals in this league and he’s made it
look really easy, especially over the last couple games and really couple years. It’s been a lot of fun to
watch and be on the ice for a lot of those and help him achieve that goal. He puts in a lot of work in the
summer to make sure he keeps getting better and better and it’s coming out to show every single night.”
MARK GIORDANO
On assisting on Matthews record breaking 55th goal of the season:
“It was pretty cool to be part of that tonight and for Matthews to get the winner like that, it felt right so it
was a cool game to be a part of.”
On the sequence leading to the goal:
“We had a lot of looks on the powerplay, we sort of had them hemmed in there and any time you get a
rebound or a second look you know the goalie is sort of moving around and you’re hoping to get one of
those lanes open for those seams so that you get him moving and it was obviously a great shot. I just laid
it there for him and he just pounded it.”

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On today’s game:

It’s been a long road trip and in different ways if we’re looking at the four games, this was one of the three that we executed really well as a team. Obviously, we didn’t come out with the points that we needed and wanted right now but our team gave in a good effort today.

On the four-game road trip:

We definitely went through some things that were unexpected during the trip and the team stepped up in big ways. Today was a good way to cap it off just in terms of what our process is, the intensity and passion and competitiveness that our team played with.

CHAD KRYS (1 GOAL)

On today’s game:

I liked our effort today. After the last game, we didn’t really bring much of anything so I liked the way we showed up today. A little bit unlucky getting scored on a power play in the third on a delay of game but I liked our effort today and hopefully we can roll a couple.
