Auston Matthews described visiting the White House yesterday as a huge honor for him and his teammates, becoming the first U.S. hockey team to win gold in 46 years. He made it clear he is not very political, but viewed the invitation as a great honor regardless of who is in office and hopes moments like this can help bring the country closer together: “We’re proud Americans, and doing something like that, winning a gold medal and representing your country, it felt like a special honor to be invited. I mean, it’s an honor. So it was pretty neat to go there, see everything, and just kind of share that experience with everybody. I don’t like to get political or get into that kind of stuff. Like I said, we’re proud Americans, and winning a gold medal, especially since it’s been 46 years since the men’s ice hockey team has done that, means a lot. The team that wins the Stanley Cup every year gets a White House invitation. I just think it’s something you do because we are proud Americans, whatever your political beliefs may be. Hopefully something like this can bring more unity to the country and things like that. But for us, we believe it’s a great honor no matter who’s in office.” 🎥: Toronto Maple Leafs #LeafsForever

Easton Cowan was pretty blunt when talking about his game and, more specifically, his turnover on the Penguins’ game-winner tonight, saying he cost the Marlies the game and promising to be better on Friday: “Yeah, I gotta be better. It starts with me. I just cost my team the game, so I gotta be better, and I will be Friday. Like I said, it starts with me. I gotta be better, and we will be. We all will be Friday. Unfortunately, like I said, I cost my team the game. Obviously, I don’t want to do that. I gotta make a better play. I can’t do anything about it now. Gotta move on and be better. Eh, (my game) was okay. I know I got more, so I’ll bring it Friday.” Via Toronto Marlies #Leafsforever

Nick Paul says that growing up in Mississauga as a Leafs fan, he dreamed of one day wearing a Leafs jersey. He also revealed that since the news broke over the last 24 hours, he’s received more than 600 text messages and calls, making it hard to keep up with them all. 😅 “Growing up in Mississauga and being a Leaf fan… I had over 600 unread messages and calls… I’m completely overwhelmed with everything. Everyone is fired up for me being back, and then me thinking about my childhood, going to games, having a Leaf jersey on and pretending to score goals… it still hasn’t settled in yet. More than anything, it’s just excitement.” 🎥: Toronto Maple Leafs #leafsforever

Gavin McKenna isn’t officially a Maple Leaf yet, but the kid just gets it. The pressure, the expectations, but also the privilege that comes with wearing the blue and white leaf. “It would be super cool (getting drafted by the Maple Leafs) being a Canadian kid in one of the biggest hockey markets in the world. Obviously, if you’re not playing well there, you’ll hear about it, but if you win a Cup there, you’re doing good. It’s probably one of the best spots to be.” Via Sportsnet #Leafsforever

Ahead of their first meeting since winning the gold medal with Team USA, Matthew Tkachuk says he still doesn’t understand how Auston Matthews doesn’t get the credit he deserves for the player he is. He also says Matthews was just as good of a captain on the ice as he was off the ice. “He was so incredible for our team, as a captain, as a leader, everything on and off the ice. What he did for our team was just so incredible. He still doesn’t get credit for the player he is, and I’ll never understand.” 🎥: Florida Panthers #LeafsForever

Auston Matthews says his gold medal will go to his family, with specifically his dad saying he’s been with him through thick and thin since he was young and even got emotional seeing him cry after the US won the gold on Sunday: 🥹 “It’s for family, my dad, he’s been my number one supporter. Both my parents have, but my dad driving me to practices, he’s been there through thick and thin for me. I love him so much… I gave him a big hug when we got off the ice. I’m gonna start crying because he was crying over there. … It’s an incredible feeling to win.” 🎥: Jamison Coyle #leafsforever

Matthew Tkachuk and Brady Tkachuk both agreed that if they were on the Maple Leafs while Auston Matthews was hit by Radko Gudas, there’s no way they wouldn’t have gotten ejected sticking up for him: “Anytime something happens to your best player or captain, there has to be some sort of response. You shouldn’t have to fight for every clean hit, but if something dirty happens or a guy gets hurt, you deal with it right away. At that point, it’s not even about the points in the standings. Sticking up for your teammate matters more in a game like that. I don’t know, I think Brady and I are pretty old school in the way we think, but if we were on the Leafs, we probably wouldn’t have lasted that game without being in a scrum after every whistle. Nobody’s coming out of that game without at least a hit or a little jab. There would’ve been a scrum after every whistle.” 🎥 Wingmen with Matthew and Brady Tkachuk (Via #leafsforever

Alex Nylander says Willy has been calling him between games during the playoff run, giving him advice, and was really happy when Alex scored the OT winner in Game 6, even jumping up and down. 😭💙 “He said he jumped up back home and was really happy. He’s happy for me and our team. He’s been watching every step, and it means a lot. He’s saying I’ve been playing really well, and I’m getting better through each round. He thinks I’ve been playing really well, so I’ve just been doing the same thing.” H/T Mark Masters 🎥: Toronto Marlies #Leafsforever
