It's terrific because [the fans' love] is so well-deserved for Mitch. This guy has been really driving the bus for us, so for him to get that reaction and to know that the people are behind him - that's terrific

Sheldon Keefe about Scotiabank Arena’s reaction to Mitch

#cryingggggggg #mitch marner #sheldon keefe #ugh..............there's so much behind these words #sheldon has seen mitch go through so much #he's seen mitch get lambasted and scapegoated by the fans and media for years and years now #or...if u want to get more recent...JUST IN OCTOBER #and i suspect he knows how sensitive mitch is to it all despite what he says and despite who he wants to be #and has coached mitch through that too - when he's deflated and sad or agitated or angry #so to see mitch finally get this kind of love from his hometown #the fans of his childhood team #he's just like YEAH mitch deserves it #and it's true. it's always been true
