Matthew Knies discussed his experience playing alongside star players Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner after the 2024-25 season. Despite grappling with an unspecified injury in the postseason, particularly through Game 7, Knies emphasized his commitment to play regardless of his health. He expressed gratitude for the supportive Toronto market, acknowledging the pressures it brings but appreciating the fans' passion for hockey. As he approaches free agency, Knies affirmed his desire to remain part of the team, reflecting his dedication to both the city and the sport.
I wasn't really 100% healthy. I am not really going to disclose what it was. It prevented me from playing the way I wanted to play.
Being in a Canadian market, I know it is a magnifying glass, and you get picked apart a little bit, but people care. People love hockey here.
