On this, the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday, it’s weird to be in a situation where as a Leafs fan there are many things about the team that I can be thankful for.
I’m thankful for having capable management and coaching - even if sometimes they make decisions I don’t agree with or seem weird, they have undoubtedly built SOMETHING that as a fan I can appreciate.
I’m thankful for the embarrassment of riches the Leafs have in fun, entertaining talent on and off the ice: Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitch Marner are an embarrassment of riches by themselves, but we also have Jake Gardiner, Morgan Rielly, Nazem Kadri, James Van Hockey, and just for the lulz Leo Komarov.
