Leafs' Marner stuns with magnificent goal

Auston who?

Forget about Matthews for a moment. Leafs rookie forward Mitch Marner has become the one to watch and a catalyst for Toronto’s offence. Last night against the Florida Panthers, the 19-year-old first round pick in 2015 showed his nifty mitts with a gorgeous goal. The beauty was Marner’s seventh of the season, helping Toronto to a lopsided 6-1 victory.

Said Marner of his goal: “I was committed to going on the backhand (on the goal), I think a lot of people thought I was going to do that and at the last second I wanted to try to make a move and see what happened.”

Long suffering Leafs fans can finally rejoice in knowing the future’s in (Marner’s) good hands.
