Ryan Reaves teases Matthew Knies following his outstanding performance
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been on an emotional rollercoaster in their playoff series against the Boston Bruins, and amidst the tension and excitement, there's always room for some good old-fashioned locker room banter.
It was a fun post-game banter between Ryan Reaves and Matthew Knies after the Toronto Maple Leafs nail-biter of a win in Game 5 against the Boston Bruins. Knies sealed the deal with the overtime winner, keeping the Leafs' season alive. But even after winning Game 6 and forcing a final showdown back in Boston, Reaves is still teasing Knies about that goal.
Here's how the conversation went down:
Ryan Reaves (teasing): "How many times you watch the video?... Triple-digies for sure."
Matthew Knies (smiling): "No, no, no. I'd say three, four times."
Reaves (laughing): "Don't lie."
It appears Knies' clutch goal is getting some replay action in the locker room, and Reaves isn't letting him live it down. As the Leafs prepare for the decisive Game 7 back in Boston, they'll carry with them the memories of Knies' clutch goal and the playful banter that followed. Win or lose, it's clear that this team knows how to keep things fun, even in the heat of this playoff bout that's now going the distance.
