Auston Matthews Snaps At One Of Toronto's Most Respected Journalists
Mark Masters is widely recognized as one of the most respected hockey reporters, primarily covering the Leafs and occasionally touching on the World Juniors.
Like all reporters, Masters sometimes asks questions that may be too generic or unlikely to receive a response. This occurred during a recent interview with
Auston Matthews.
Matthews Snaps At One Of Toronto's Most Respected Journalist
Must read on Daily Hockey Dose
After a practice session, Sheldon Keefe had a brief chat with Matthews and
Mitch Marner, who were paired together during the practice. Fans speculate that Keefe aims to boost Matthews' scoring chances by reuniting them.
However, certain conversations should remain private between players and coaches.
Masters learned this lesson on Wednesday.
He inquired about the content of the discussion between Keefe, Matthews, and Marner. Matthews responded assertively:
"Mark, that's none of your business, honestly. That's between us, and I'll leave it at that."
Masters deserves credit for posing the question. This exchange also provided a rare insight into Matthews' personality.
