Multiple Maple Leafs Back Auston Matthews' Claims About a Quiet Scotiabank Arena

"It was great. It's still a big part of the game and he's a big part of this team. You love to see that. Would've liked a little more energy from the crowd after that. I thought it was a little quiet tonight, especially after two guys like that go at it. It was a great moment for (Reaves). I thought it gave us some energy on the bench."

"Every building can be quiet at times," said Lorentz. "Every building can be loud at times. And it doesn't matter when you're on the road, at home. Energy's energy. So the louder the building is, the more guys get up for it. That being said, again, it can be quiet at times when you're going through a little rough patch here. But when the building gets rocking, like I said, they could be booing you at an away rink or it could be your home fans trying to lift the spirits. We feed off that energy."

"He's our captain. We look up to him. We follow him into battle and what he says, we're right there with him. Again, it's one of those things that, it might've just been a lapse in the game yesterday and we weren't playing our best hockey at some points. We really rely on that energy from the crowd."

"I think the important thing is that we know we have probably the most extensive fan base in hockey and probably across a lot of sports as well. We love our fans and we feel their support, in Scotiabank and on the road. There's places where we'll have more fans than the other team, in like Buffalo. I think what's important is that we love our fans and we love when they're loud and they're rocking. That energy is special for us."
