Auston Matthews wasn't happy one bit with Maple Leafs fans following last night's game against the Blue Jackets, and he made his opinion heard. Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews wasn't mincing words about the Scotiabank Arena crowd after <a href='https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/adam-fantilli-s-first-hat-trick-powers-blue-jackets-past-maple-leafs-1.2240477' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets</a>. That was because an early scrap between Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves and Columbus' Mathieu Olivier got under his skin. Less than two minutes into the scoreless game, Reaves and Olivier dropped the gloves at center ice and exchanged heavy punches for over 30 seconds. <a href='https://x.com/Sportsnet/status/1882229043782959571?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1882270829884621193%7Ctwgr%5E9344fdfb03f972e2561ce53fd90422fa3f8edde2%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fathlonsports.com%2Fnhl%2Ftoronto-maple-leafs%2Fauston-matthews-calls-out-maple-leafs-fans-ryan-reaves-fight' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>You can watch the Ryan Reaves fight here</a> <h3>Matthews calls out the crowd for being too quiet after the fight</h3> Matthews thought the team could have used the energy of the crowd to capitalize on the momentum of the fight. «You love to see that,» Matthews said post-game, per Sportsnet's Luke Fox. «I would've liked a little more energy from the crowd after that. »I thought it was a little quiet tonight, especially after two guys like that go at it.» <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/lukefoxjukebox/status/1882270829884621193'> </a></blockquote></div> Toronto instead gave up four goals after that fight and trailed 4-0 before they scored their lone goal. Head coach Craig Berube also praised the intensity of the fight but drew the line at booing fans. «It was a hell of a fight, I'll tell you what. I am glad I wasn't in it, Berube said. It was great to see. It was <a href='https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/player/ryan-reaves-8471817' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Reaves</a>' 147th career fight and first of the season, a rare occurrence for any player this late in the regular season. He finished the evening with two shots and 8:07 of ice time, his highest since December 31st vs. the Islanders. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/player/auston-matthews-8479318' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Matthews</a> scored the lone Toronto goal, his 20th of the year. But it was not enough to rally the team to a comeback versus Columbus. Still, despite the loss, the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/standings/2025-01-22/wildcard' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Leafs remain atop the Atlantic Division</a> with their 30-17-2 record and 62 points. They will look to bounce back Saturday against the Ottawa Senators.
