Auston Matthews was in no mood to celebrate his first preseason goal Thursday after the Toronto Maple Leafs fell 6-1 to the rival Montreal Canadiens.
"It means nothing when you lose 6-1. It's pretty embarrassing," he told Amanda Stein of TSN 690.
Matthews was the Leafs' lone scorer, beating Montreal's Carey Price. "It's great," he said. "He's obviously one of the best goalies in the world."
