"Stech is the man,"
"He's honestly one of the most competitive guys that I've ever played with, and he competes every shift. That scrum at the end, big division win and he was on the ice scrumming it up. I mean, hey, it's emotional. It's what you want."
"It's just emotion. He's a great guy, I love seeing that."
"It was an emotional game tonight. Obviously, coming in, it's a divisional opponent, two teams that don't really like each other much, the history, especially with the playoffs last year, it was an emotional game, passionate game. It's going to take until the last buzzer to get the job done, and obviously you love to see that passion."
The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Ottawa Senators 7-5 in a high-energy Battle of Ontario featuring frequent scrums and end-of-game celebrations. Troy Stecher, claimed off waivers from the Edmonton Oilers, has stepped into heavier defensive minutes while providing occasional offensive contributions. Stecher engaged with the crowd after the final buzzer and participated in on-ice scrums, reflecting strong emotion and team momentum. Teammates recognized Stecher's competitiveness and the emotional stakes of divisional rivalry games, particularly given last season's playoff history. The victory moves the Maple Leafs closer to matching Ottawa in points with a forthcoming game against Detroit.
