After years of losing, Auston Matthews's reaction was golden.

"I've been here for seven years. Mitch, Willy, and Mo have been here for 10, Johnny for five or six, & just getting over that hump is obviously huge mentally for us & we don't want to look back now. We want to keep putting our foot on the gas and keep pressing forward."
After all this, Matthews returned to meet with his dad, who was in the stands during the game.
