Beckett Sennecke on why he wears no. 45:
“I’ve been wearing 45 since I was four or five. When practice was at 6 a.m., the only thing that would get me up was five minutes of Channel 45, which was Teletoon or something like that. That’s the significance behind it.”

Zegras said he and McTavish had dinner with Drysdale the night before the ANA-PHI game:
“It was good to see him. Good to hear some stories from Philadelphia and what's going on over there. It almost felt like he had never left when he was with us. It was good.”

A couple of quotes from Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale on one another from when I spoke to them the other week while putting together my article on Zegras.

Luke Hughes said he and his brother Jack got to spend some time with Trevor Zegras yesterday. Zegras is currently out with a broken ankle.
“It’s good to see one of our buddies whenever we can. Z’s really close with Jack and close with me.”

Chris Kreider said that the illness he was suffering from was hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD).
“They didn’t want to give anyone on the team that, so I was locked in the hotel room for a few days. Yeah, it's awful. I don't recommend it.”

For Leo Carlsson, his stuttering—which he has been very open about—seems to crop up more often when he’s in front of the camera.
He doesn’t know why, but he doesn’t care about it too much given how much media attention he has and will receive.

Lukáš Dostál said he was pretty confident that he’d be able to stop Jack Hughes’ penalty shot attempt because he’s seen so many variations from Trevor Zegras, Mason McTavish, Leo Carlsson and the like during practice and warmups.
“They do it all the time.”

At the end of this clip, Zegras takes accountability for his turnover in overtime which led to the Leafs’ winning goal.
“(You faced) 57 shots. You were the best player on the ice, that’s my fault. (You were) unbelievable.”
