On the Toronto Maple Leafs …
Sean Fitz-Gerald: Nick Kypreos on Auston Matthews: “Towards the end, Babcock lost Matthews. I don’t know what happened, but he lost him. And there was no trust anymore. And then, Matthews can’t start a hockey game. He can’t start a period. He can’t start a power-play off a TV timeout.”
Kristen Shilton: “Auston Matthews said the reports that Mike Babcock “lost him” in the playoffs are totally untrue, wasn’t pleased when he heard that in the media. Said his relationship with Babcock is good, but media will speculate as they choose.
