It's as if every postgame quote is spoken directly to the long-suffering fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In the dressing room after scoring his most spectacular goal to date in a 6-1 win over the Florida Panthers, Mitch Marner just kept wrapping a swooning fan base further around his finger.
Mitch Marner: "100 years of this team and luckily enough we’re a part of that now, and things going forward they’re going to be different."

Marner's influence, of course, extends beyond his energized fan base. The Maple Leafs improved to 7-0-2 when Marner records a point with their win over the Panthers.
