my dear siblings in arms
last night we gained an unlikely but welcome ally for the mitch marner defense squad
he showed up in a cloud of mist then leapt into hand-in-hand combat vs. the leafs uncles who want to do a variety of things to mitch, ranging from cyberbullying him out of town to "healthy scratch[ing] him for 2 months so he wants to leave" (an actual idea someone thought to post publicly).
without further ado, i present: [cue gladiator soundtrack]
Jfresh.
some additional observations:
if u look at the timestamps for these he was fully in the trenches battling from 3pm-1am.
his calm replies make the uncles look even more obtusely deranged than they already are
he may be doing this with the ulterior motive of trying to get mitch on the penguins and honestly....let's fuckin go
maybe if the media didn't do things like turn a quote from mitch about how ilya samsonov was treated this season into a clickbaity headline diminishing his talent and skill by implying that the only path to success in his return to the lineup is to be nicer to journalists when they ask questions he doesn't like, mitch wouldn't feel like he had to bring up the media as much. just a thought.
