Despite the Toronto Maple Leafs losing 5-1 to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday, Auston Matthews continued his goal-scoring streak.

Toronto's captain admitted post-game that he would've liked to have heard the crowd more following Reaves' fight in the opening minutes of the game.

TORONTO -- Auston Matthews scored for the fourth straight game and had an assist for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 5-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Scotiabank Arena on Monday. The goal was Matthews’ eighth in nine games since his return after missing the previous six because of an upper-body injury.

“Noise is noise, every building can be quiet or loud. Home or road, energy is energy, so the louder the building, the more guys get up for it.

It’s not the first time a player has called out Toronto fans. Outfielder Dave Winfield urged Blue Jays fans to make more noise in 1992. They went on to win the World Series that year with “Winfield wants noise” becoming the post-season mantra.
