MLSE head Keith Pelley sent a message to Leafs season-ticket holders earlier today saying the team will do whatever is needed to contend and that the organization will not stop until they deliver a championship.
“The 2025-26 season for the Maple Leafs, so far, has been a series of ups and downs, and unfortunately with a number of key injuries that have affected the team, we are not currently in the position we had anticipated, but that is professional sports…
We will not stop until we deliver a championship to our loyal Leafs fans and the City of Toronto.”

Auston Matthews: "It's been a whirlwind 72 hours. I mean, you guys have seen the videos (🙂). There hasn't been a whole lot of sleep, but I'm feeling good ... obviously it's important to me to be back here with my teammates & to have a good push here"

@LeafsPassion85 Did all the Olympians get invited, no oh ok Did all medal winners get invited no oh ok Did all gold medal winners get invited oh no just the rich NHL hockey players, you sure this wasn’t a publicity stunt to distract from the bigger issues at the WH
Listen, I hate Donald Trump as much as anyone, but if you want a superstar player traded because he accepted an invitation to the White House (WITH THE REST OF HIS TEAM) after they Won a Gold Medal and ending a 40 year drought…. You’re fucking retarded #LeafsForever
@SNYRangers Still o apology for the “locker room joking” about the women’s team, or drinking with the fbi director or taking the call from the pedo.. cause you’re just a typical ‘Merica redneck
Vincent Trocheck on Team USA's experience in Washington DC:
"I've never been to the White House, never been to the Capitol building. It's such an honor to be able to do that. As an American, we love our country. To go to Washington and do all that with the President was awesome"
Jake Guentzel on Auston Matthews:
"He’s just an unbelievable guy. Leadership, he does it on & off the ice ... He’s under a lot of heat a lot of time, so he’s pretty even keeled. He stays in his lane. He goes through a lot, but he shows it with his game"

@NFL_DovKleiman Hey Pat… when do you honor the women’s team who’s done this multiple times and it took the men 46 years to finally win gold again And their goalie allowed as many goals in the final game that the women’s team allowed the entire tournament 🤔
This is awesome: Pat McAfee paid for the USA men's hockey team's $150K bar tab as they celebrated winning Olympic gold at a Miami club.
The team went through $150,000 in champagne, tequila, and vodka.
McAfee is a true American hero 🇺🇸
for one you captain a canadian team so you wouldn’t be invited if you ever managed to perform in the playoffs and for two the team that wins the stanley cup doesn’t also take his phone calls and party with feds
Matthews did great. He seemed a little uncomfortable once the Olympics was over and didn't stay long at the White House.
Give him a big cheer for winning the gold.
Guys a fucking animal.
Italy to Florida to DC to Florida in a matter of a few days.
Best part is he’s going to have a hell of a game tonight on ZERO rest @AM34 a different type of animal.
@LeafsPapi_ Hey moron the team you play for is in Canada . If by some miracle you win the cup… (and you’ll choke and won’t per usual so this is a moot point) you don’t get invited to the White House you dumb fuck… you play for a Canadian team
Matthews on visiting the white house
"The team that wins the Cup every year accepts the invitation. We believe it's a great honour, no matter who is in office.. It's something that you do because we’re proud Americans”
@LOVEUINALLCAPS they can give trump and Patel more blowies
More importantly tho, they tarnished the women’s team, and every other Olympic medal winner for the country
@LOVEUINALLCAPS No but they represent Canadian teams and tkachuk had talks alot of shit about those north of the border. Taje the C and trade him … fans will not be happy and backlash costs the team money. Time for consequences for being dumber than the goonies character “hey you guys”…..
a lot of people mentioning taking the captaincy away from matthews and tkachuk. clayton keller is also a captain. he was also a part of that phone call and attended the state of the union yesterday with everyone else. and yet NO ONE is talking about him. he’s not innocent in this
@snowhurricane44@TheBrattPack63 Well Moron do you expect the maple leafs, senators and jets to hold a ceremony and celebrate them like heroes on Canadian soil when they work for Canadian teams…
@rachelmlenzi Maybe if his wife/gf/sister would have said to him strip club with a bunch of drunk men singing the national thinking they’re better than woman and don’t defend them against a pedo rapist might cause them long pas problems with bad pr
@LOVEUINALLCAPS and Mathew’s said it’s not political… they used u to distract from the Epstein fiasco and it worked… except now the people that support and are the reason who have day Job are pissed and also want the C gone and traded asap… never gonna neon a cup with him as leader …
