No it’s just Marner that got softer, Nylander is noticeably stronger and goes to the net more often and Matthews throws hits and gets into some dirty stick work now. I haven’t seen anyone else on the team on the verge of tears multiple times like lil Mitch.

He’s the same height as Nylander and over 20 pounds lighter, in almost a decade since getting drafted he’s put on maybe 10-15 pounds. If he wanted to be scrappy he’d consider hitting the weights here and there.

They were cuddled the moment they came into the organization , they never became men. The team never came first.

Marleau and Thornton. I remember an interview with Thornton and his message to the young stars during the playoff run was "just enjoy the moment". I was like wtf, that's it? Go get a cup and if you have to die to do it so be it.

Lou and Dubas couldn't have brought in two worse mentors for our young guys.

This has to be one of the funniest draft picks I can remember.

When he got selected, it was basically universally mocked for being a bigtime reach and his upside said to be 3rd liner type.

Now the kid wins the OHL MVP and playoff MVP and made team Canada.

Still doesn't mean it's a lock that he's a great NHL'er but so far he's made our scouts look like geniuses.
