Matthews Praises Leafs' Fans In Edmonton.
Even though they were in an all Canadian division last year, fans didn't get to see their favourite teams play each other as Canadian teams had empty arenas for the majority of the season.
That of course has changed this season and with the Toronto Maple Leafs headed out west, Leafs' fans were excited to finally see their favourite team make a trip to their hometown.
It was clear during warmups as Leafs fans in Edmonton started making noise fast and the team got an ovation as they headed off the ice after warm up to prepare for the opening face.
«I was just warming up, to be honest. We travel really well no matter where we go,» Matthews said postgame, after scoring more than the Oilers himself. «Really in any building, I find there's a lot of blue and white. It's awesome to have that environment, especially in away buildings.
«It was a lot of fun to play in front of that energy today.»
Matthews registered 2 goals which included 1 on the power during 19 minutes of ice time.
