Sheldon Keefe Post Game, Lightning 6 vs. Leafs 4: “I’m not afraid to admit to you that this is the first regular season game where I was watching video of another team during the intermissions”

On his message to Auston Matthews on the bench when he didn’t reach the 70-goal milestone:

I was just acknowledging how there were 34 seconds left in the game (when we scored the 6-4 goal). Pretty fitting for the type of season that he’s had and for the regular season to come to an end like that.

He has played so tremendously well. There has been a lot of focus on the pursuit of 70 goals, but within that, you kind of lose sight of how well he has played. He is playing well and feeling well.
