The Toronto Maple Leafs’ Mitch Marner has entered the Hart Trophy chat
A soaking wet Toronto Maple Leafs dressing room floor is always a positive omen. It means someone got a congratulatory post-game shower. If we set aside any snickering judgments on whether a team that can’t escape the first round of the playoffs should keep unofficially crowning guys for regular-season milestones, it’s a nice tradition from a closely knit team that finds fun in the little things.
“Did you see me? I can’t wait to talk to my father. He’s going to be like, ‘What the hell were you doing on that pass?’ ” said Marner, who noted that his teammates were trying to feed him with the net empty. “Big Mike on the bench right away looked at me and couldn’t believe I tried to pass it to him. He was pissed at me to be honest.”
Leafs fans at regular-season home games are known for their morgue-like quietness. But no one ever doubts their hockey knowledge. They rank among the league’s best in that regard, and they understood exactly what was happening during the final couple minutes. With the net empty, they were as engaged and raucous as they were all game, fully aware that the streak was on the line. When Marner finally converted, they gave him a standing ovation.“That meant a lot,” Marner said.
